Bush, Rubio start October with about $10 million each

And while spending little money seems prudent now, it may not be a successful long-term campaign strategy.

While the battle between Bush and Rubio has largely played out behind closed doors among the donor class, it is on full display in New Hampshire, where both candidates are engaged in a zero-sum game to gain momentum in what Bush said Wednesday night “is the most important primary in the United States”. On Thursday, his campaign announced it would be rejecting the donation and giving it to a clinic instead.

Clinton has also made inroads on Wall Street. He raised $2 million in the previous fundraising period.

The Golden State gave a huge assist to Clinton’s campaign, on the other hand.

The real estate tycoon is now the front-runner for the Republican nomination in a race that includes former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, George W. Bush’s brother.

The sums are miniscule compared to Bush’s total haul for the quarter of $13.4 million. During the third quarter, $749,000 went to items listed as hats, “T-shirts/hats” or “T-shirts/hats/decals”.

Trump started to call Bush and Rubio’s friendship into question late last month in a speech in South Carolina, where he said it was disloyal of Rubio to run against Bush and said the two “hate each other”.

“I – for one – would be less than forthcoming if I said we predicted in June that a reality television star … would be leading the Republican primary”, Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz said in a statement, referring to Trump.

Rubio got a look from another hedge fund billionaire, Paul Singer, who sent in $2,700 to the candidate. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) who ended the quarter with the most cash in the bank.

Regardless of how Bush’s super-pac is faring, his supporters still aren’t terribly impressed. Marco Rubio, Bush’s rival from the Sunshine State, raised only $6 million, but closed the quarter with more cash on hand, $11 million to $10.3 million for Bush.

“I congratulate Governor Jeb Bush on filing for the Kansas caucus”. “So, yes, I still am running for president”. That’s a drastic shift from his springtime fundraising report, when he loaned his campaign almost all of the $1.9 million it had. Sanders and Carson each pulled in more than Bush from Colorado. On the other hand, Mitt Romney also wasn’t doing so hot at this point in 2012 – however, he also never reached the single digits in the polls. Fiorina raised $7 million. The tax information showed Bush earned roughly $8.3 million in 2014 and paid just over $3 million in federal taxes. “Donald Trump has no knowledge about my relationship with Marco Rubio”. Even if their campaigns have enough cash to remain active in a few key states, they’re likely to be swamped by ads promoting competitors, without enough money to mount their own ads. “Nobody is going to have a headquarters in Columbia and three field offices this early in the campaign”. The campaign says it definitely isn’t a big deal that Carson, now in second place in the polls, is trying to sell books and make money for himself while a campaign is going on.

“I wasn’t one who thought I was a front-runner”, he told CBS.

‘Stop, ‘ Ruhle chided him, adding that the idea is ‘something I’m afraid of’.

By listing everyone who had raised at least $17,600, Bush essentially treated all 341 names equally, instead of distinguishing larger bundlers from those who raised the minimum.

“He was president, okay?” said Trump. Perry was in the same boat. But to say, over and over again, that George W. Bush “kept us safe” is to pretend this deadly violence simply didn’t happen.
