Jeb Bush spent a lot of money in Iowa, and at the end of the night had little to show for it. He spent about $2,800 per vote. Gimme a break. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was not in Iowa on caucus night, but his cash certainly was. The former Florida governor spent more money in Iowa than any other candidate and still lost big in Monday’s state caucuses.
According to ad-buy data collected by Morning Consult, Bush and his super PAC, Right to Rise, have spent about $14.1 million on ads in Iowa. That’s more money than any other presidential candidate has spent in the state. And ultimately, the return on investment for Bush was dismal.
Since he received just 2.8 percent of the vote in Iowa Monday night — and walked away with just one delegate — Bush ended up spending about $2,800 per vote.
That’s about 18 times as much money as first-place winner Ted Cruz spent for each vote he received. It’s also 34 times as much as silver medalist Donald Trump spent, and 10 times the amount spent by third-place winner Marco Rubio.”*

I think Jeb’s whole life has probably been one big break. Time to wake up & smell the adversity.
The fact is, the time for buying votes & elections is almost up. Dynasties are out & Political Revolutions are in. No one’s clapping for half-ass or fake politicians anymore. No please & thank yous from us anymore. The Bern is coming, Wolf PAC is coming, we’re all coming for Washington to take our Democracy back.
