rubio as the best contrast to her message. bob, let s address this conjecture that jeb could get out. nobody gets out with $100 million in their super-pac bank, right? no, that s right. look, what gets people out of presidential politics is when their treasurer comes to them and says, you re burning $100 million that you don t have. that s when you get out. this debate was a donor debate, particularly for bush. his donors were watching very closely. they looked at it expecting him to do better. he didn t. and i think you re going to start to see more erosion on his donor base. but nonetheless, he s still got a lot of money in the bank. yes. you libertarians like to think outside the box sometimes. let me think outside the box with you relative to jeb. is it possible his strategy was successful? marco rubio went back to washington and voted at 3:00 a.m. friday morning. so they pulled him off the campaign trail. rubio is going to face scrutiny
when you see staff changes like that at higher levels, it s not a good thing and now, the dow donors have been worried. and with a major donor like singer, that s just a signal that the mayor donor class does not have confidence in jeb bush anymore and rubio is the guy and you re going to see the slow demise of jeb bush. bob beckel? well, i mean, i said last night that this was a donor debate as much as anything else. you did. you actually did. donors would look at the race and decide whether their candidate was somebody who would be up for the long haul and clearly some of bush s people did not. this is a big blow to bush and it won t be the last. one of the problems is that he s got a lot of money but a huge burn rate in presidential politics. they are spending millions of dollars a day and i did this for myself when we were behind gary heart and took everything we had and through it into alabama and georgia and got back in the race
out of presidential politics is when their treasury comes and says, you re burning $1 million a day you don t have. that gets you out. not that you don t think you can win or hit something right down the road. at what the debate for bush particularly was a donor debate. his donors were watching this very closely. they looked at a time, expecting him to do better and he didn t. you ll see more erosion on the donor base. nonetheless, he s still got a lost money in the bank. libertarians like to think outside of the box sometimes, let me think outside of the box relative to jeb. is it possible his strategy was successful? marco rubio went back to washington and votinged at 3:00 a.m. friday morning. they pulled him off the campaign trail and rubio is going to face scrutiny issues in a way, maybe jeb was right. i think it s more like rand paul being right. he s the only one that can make that critique. i don t anyone cares at the end
