48 college kids to volunteer and turn people out. they talk about they believe the senator will get up to 99 counties before the caucus. rubio s team believes it will be able to push over the next 50 or 60 days to turn people out. they re planning to do a lot of ad buys. they ll have rubio on tv quite a bit, folks in iowa will see him a lot on their televisions and they ll see him on the ground as he expects to roll out more endorsements. they re modelling this over joanie ernst s campaign. you ll bring together everybody else in the republican base, even though cruz does seem to have a lock or is moving toward coalescing that conservative ivevangelical group. listen to what he had to say this morning on gma. the bulk of that ground force needs to be arab sunnis that
as for the democrats, bernie sanders and hillary clinton are exclusively using campaign dollars. marco rubio is dipping into campaign cash and the controversial group supporting him will also buy time. thanksgiving is known for big appetites coming to the table but the saturation of ad buys may leave voters stuffed. sorry about that. joining me now is hallie jackson in mount pleasant, south carolina and heather hadden of the wall street journal . you are in south carolina. that is sort of the third big test in the republican primary season next year. let me start with donald trump somebody who has not spent a lot of his own money in this campaign. he s run radio ads, he hasn t even been on tv yet. there is reporting today that suggests that top republicans who are nervous about trump have decided maybe they are not going to launch some sort of concerted ad campaign to try to take him down. they are going to hope he kind of fades.
candidates because outside groups are stepping in. the biggest buy comes from jeb bush by the right to rise pac. bush s actual campaign isn t spending a cent. bernie sanders and hillary clinton are using campaign dollars. marco rubio is dipping into campaign cash and the group supporting him will buy time. thanksgiving is known for big appetites coming to the table but the saturation of ad buys may leave voters stuffed. joining me now is hallie jackson and heather hadden of the wall street. you are in south carolina. that is sort of the third big test in the republican primary season next year. let me start with donald trump someone who has run radio ads and not been on tv yet. there is reporting today that
general, but the question is how he ll do. right now, i believe he s leading in a number of the florida polls, so we ll see. you got it. i can t wait to hear how trump reacts to the iowa poll numbers. he struggled yesterday when the first one came out. this is now two in a row. enjoy the rally. jeb bush s financial woes are growing. the campaign announced some salary cuts today for staffers across the board. trying to reduce the payroll by 40% and downicizi sizing headqus staff. despite a bunch of spending on tv ads, both by the right to rise super pac and the bush campaign itself, they ve spent more money on tv ads than any other campaign so far, over $10 million, and he doesn t yet have a lot to show for it. campaigning today in virginia beach, the candidate himself reacted to the salary news, but gave no indication that he plans on slowing down his ad buys. this means lean and mean, and it means that i have the ability to adapt. okay.
november, december and january, a lot of that $100 million that jeb bush has in that superpac will be spent on hitting other candidat candidates. which ones we don t know yet, but that s normally just how these things work. you think also i know we have the formula of how things usually work, but it seems this time around, everything is turned on its head with the entry of donald trump. to your point, normal candidates would have fallen with things like the mccain comment to the dust-up with meighan kelly saying he would deport every single person in this country without talking about the costa loan that would potentially cost americans here. so might we see things turn a different direction, and really, jeb bush and others try to come out stronger in some of these ad buys? yeah, and again, i think it s going to be important which strategy they decide to take. i was kind of telling you that your normal tried and true path, you have your nice stuff early on, then the heavy attack
