turns out that s not true. not this year. the candidate who was clearly winning the republican nomination for president, clearly, clearly, clearly winning for months now, he has spent precisely zero dinero buying tv ads this whole year. that s myth number one. myth number two. myth number two is that the reason candidates drop out of races like this is because they have run out of money. turns out that is also not true. scott walker quit the republican race last month, but today he turned in his fund-raising numbers for the third quarter anyway and those numbers still put him ahead of half the republican field. even though he spent a lot, he had twice as much left over as bobby jindal has raised in total. and bobby jindal s still in the race. myth number three having this giant a candidate field is inherently unsustainable. having 15 major candidates competing for the republican no, ma am nomination, it can t last.
that s myth number one. myth number two. myth number two is that the reason candidates drop out of races like this is because they have run out of money. turns out that is also not true. scott walker quit the republican race last month, but today he turned in his fund-raising numbers for the third quarter anyway and those numbers still put him ahead of half the republican field. even though he spent a lot, he had twice as much left over as bobby jindal has raised in total. and bobby jindal s still in the race. myth number three having this giant a candidate field is inherently unsustainable. having 15 major candidates competing for the republican no, ma am nomination, it can t last. there s just not enough voter support and interest to divide by this many people so the herd by necessity will have to thin. nope. not this year. the first candidate to drop out of the race was former texas governor rick perry.
