he said my brother made the decisions and this was his administration and would take full responsibility for it. on any day we are talking about a bush dynasty that is not a good day for bush for president. the spot light in many ways shifted from senator bush to rubeio. bush is in the comeback narrative of his candidacy. are you writing this narrative? my colleague, this couch session on the bus. jeb can fix it. rubio s attention is not bad from bush. bush people are okay with it. trump did a number of jeb s psyche. will he do a number on marco s? he will try. he said his finances are a disaster. he kept saying his finances is a disaster.
$7 million. have yet to release who the donor or donors is. what s important is what the money is or is not buying. right to rise spent more on ads than any other entity. bush s numbers have gone down. the campaign itself spent less than $400,000 on television. hillary clinton s campaign has spent more than $6 million in tv ads. priorities usa, super pac supporting her, spent $200,000. so don t forgetting all money isn t created equal in politics. actual campaigns get a discounted rate when airing tv ads. super pacs do not. so on average, outside groups pay about four times as much to run the same ad as a campaign does. that means presidential campaign needs to spend just $4 million to get the same bang for their buck that bush s right to rise has spent so far or $of 6 had t
