John Ellis Bush is, according to most reports, still running for president. The latest Quinnipiac poll puts Jeb at five percent nationally: slightly higher than the candidates in the Also-Ran nether regions, but well outside the top tier occupied by Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. That five percent is perfectly in line with nearly every other poll released in the last couple of months, which show Jeb struggling to move out of the mid-single digits.

In New Hampshire, the state which Jeb’s presidential hopes are said to be pinned on, things don’t look much better. He’s pulling in something like 7.5 percent – good enough for sixth place. In the last three months of New Hampshire polling, Jeb has broken out of single digits just twice, and has never come close to challenging frontrunner Donald Trump.

That’s obviously not good news for the candidate who was supposed to be the establishment-backed juggernaut of the GOP field. But Jeb’s poor numbers become downright scandalous when you take into account the many millions of dollars that pro-Bush forces have dumped into advertising designed to move the needle in Jeb’s favor.

NBC News broke down the numbers and found that the campaigns and allied groups of three establishment candidates in the GOP race – Jeb, Rubio, and John Kasich – have thus far spent a combined $47.5 million in TV advertising. Jeb’s super PAC, Right to Rise, is single-handedly responsible for over $28 million of that spending. The group has been carpet-bombing the early primary states for months with pro-Jeb ads highlighting all the positive aspects of his life and career in government. And for all that money spent, they don’t really have much to show for it. Jeb’s numbers have not improved at all, while other candidates who have spent the barest fraction of Right to Rise’s TV budget have surpassed him in the polls.

It is the PERSON, not the money and Bushie is proof of that although the money can overcome a lot but in his case it is HIM. On the other hand the money is what is keeping HILLARY and knowing where the bodies are buried is keeping  her out of a small top and XXXX Large Orange jump suit. :silly:
