Bush Campaign Sources: Campaign Out of Money. Pay Ends Saturday.

Note: This is from a right wing source...

This is pretty remarkable. Sources close to the Bush campaign are beginning to leak about a call last night. I’m told the Bush team is out of money. Pay for campaign staff will end on Saturday. The campaign is all but over.

Additionally, after having hundreds of millions of dollars on hand, the Bush Super PAC has less than $15 million from what I am being told.

What a waste.

Ironically, if Bush really wants to have an impact on the race, given that his campaign is broke, he should publicly get out of the race today. This would be like Rich Perry in 2012, who got out, cast his support to Gingrich at the last minute, and saw Gingrich storm into first place in South Carolina.

Bush could be the king maker if he gets out today.

His campaign is broke, staff is being told they will not be paid after Saturday, and Bush could shake things up significantly if he gets out now.

UPDATED: Bush campaign vehemently denies there was a call or that the campaign is out of money. I stand by the story.

If we got to the point where there was Trump, Cruz and ONE establishment candidate, we might have a brokered convention. But if Bush stays in, he'll draw votes from Rubio, and give Trump a better shot of taking everything.

all the locals hide their tears of regret
open fire cos i love you to death
sky high, with a heartache of stone
you'll never see me cos i'm always alone

how to love without a trace of dissent
i'll buy the torture cos you pay for the rent
tied high with a broken command
you're all alone to the promised land

i'm in love with this malicious intent
you've been taken but you don't know it yet
what you will know must never live to be found
cos it's the subject of the eyes of the drowned

Ben Carson is showing how to do it right. Have a book, run as a giant book promotion. Stay in forever because you're not really running. Jeb! is showing how to do it wrong. Collect tons of money up front. Hire people you need to pay. Lose to an idiot with Billions more than you.

Last but not least. Getting out assures Ted Cruz wins. There is no reason to believe Jeb likes Ted Cruz at all. No one does. Why would he want to help that man?

This is a pretty negative thing to leak right before a critical primary. Remember they leaked Carson was out before Iowa. It may be true he is racing through his money.
