correct about everything
wikipedia lists that carson has spent over 60 million, way more than rubio or cruz. is that true, and if it is, where is he getting that money?

I don;t get the source of this information. Did he just hand over his ledger and say "here you go. It's all here"?

Candidates have to disclose all this shit to the FEC.

The poor guy didn't stand a chance; he couldn't even put on a hoodie without struggling.

Quite.

How much money went into his hoodie budget? I imagine he had to spend tons on research on how to properly put one on. Unfortunately he couldnt get the hang of it, as well as skipped the lesson on zip ups.

Pls cry.

While it is sad to see so much money go to waste that could have been spent on better, more helpful things, it does bring a smile to my face to see that for once, big money in politics failed so very, very hard.

It's a tragedy that all that money went down the crapper, but at least it didn't support the likes of Santorum or Trump or Cruz.
 
I do like the Daily Show theory that the real campaign wasn't for the candidacy, but to come off as so pathetic that you'll think of him before you think of George Bush.

It kinda worked.
 
Personally Jeb was one of the better ones. I would have preferred him to be the candidate. I mean look Cruz and Rubio - it is like battle between the crazies. I guess Trump is unstoppable.

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.
It's not like the money has disappeared and it's not like he spent public money. I don't think it's a big deal. If anything, it's a good thing that spending so much evidently doesn't guarantee success.

Not in presidental elections maybe. Go further down the chain and it starts mattering more and more.

This is an example of a primary where it would have actually been good if the big money guy won. Out of the entire clownshow regardless of how you feel about the Bush family he was the sane one on stage. On Immigration and Educational stuff he would be likely to work with democrats.

Any Republican from the ones left will be absolute shitshows on those topics among other things
 
There was Jeb Bush advertising? $80+ million of it?


Had no idea either. Being in California we never see any of the ads for candidates running for potus.

130mil sounds like a lot but Meg Whitman spent 178mil trying to win the california governorship- 144mil of it was her own money. To think she could've used all that money on a bigger stage.. She couldn't have done worse than Jeb.

I have a feeling he'll be back in 4 years time.

Absolutely not. He outed himself as a charisma-challenged mommy's boy. The only thing the GOP hates more than a socialist, is a loser.

Right now they're pinning their last hopes on Rubio and hopefully thinking about an intellectual enema for the whole party.


I absolutely PRAY for a sensible well-adjusted realistic Republican party to eventually untangle itself from the web of racism and stupidity it embroidered these last four decades. I do not want to live in a world where the opposition winning makes me sob in shame and terror.
