GOP Candidates With Low Numbers Should Drop Out

See Which GOP Candidate Has Run Out Of Money

The race towards the Oval Office is an expensive endeavor.

It’s estimated billions of dollars are going to be spent in order to determine who becomes the commander in chief come 2016.

Personal finances can help power a campaign… i.e. Donald Trump and his refusal to accept donations, but most have to fund their campaigns via donors.

Well it looks like one of the leading nominees has plum run out of money. He’s gong to keep running, he’ll just stop paying his campaign staff is what the reports tells us.

IJ Review writes:

Rick Perry, the former Texas governor now seeking the GOP nomination for president in 2016, is no longer paying his campaign staffers in South Carolina, National Journal reported on Monday evening.

The move to stop paying campaign staff raises serious funding concerns in an already crowded and financially scarce Republican field. Perry’s South Carolina state director Katon Dawson alluded to the status of the campaign in an interview:

“Pay is only one reason people do this… We’ll be able to live off the land for a while.” pay,” Dawson said staffers have been paid as recently as two weeks ago.

But the report of a compensation freeze remains daunting. The campaign has raised only $1.07 million, a far cry from GOP juggernauts like former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

At the time of the financial report detailing Perry’s first haul of 2015, campaign manager Jeff Miller said:

“Governor Perry is well positioned and between the campaign and independent sources, the necessary funds will be in place to run a competitive, successful campaign.”

In addition to the more than $1 million raised, Perry-supporting super PACs, which are not directly affiliated with the campaign, have reported much larger numbers.

According to a senior advisor for the super PACs, the two groups raised a combined $17 million in support of Perry.

Perry has been struggling in the major polls as of late, failing to clinch the number ten spot, which would have placed him in the primetime debate last Thursday. Instead, Ohio governor John Kasich squeezed into the bout, relegating Perry to the “happy hour” debate that took place earlier in the evening.

Many argue men like Perry, Petaki, Graham etc. should just drop out now so they can help narrow the field of candidates.

And for Perry to press on even though his campaign is on life support really does beg the question of why he’d want to continue?

As one commenter on IJ Reviews article wrote “Perry needs to drop out and put his support behind his fellow Texan Cruz”

The truth of the matter is so long as the GOP field remains solidly conservative then the U.S. looks to be in good hands.

Hillary’s campaign seems to be de-stabilizing in front of us, Bernie Sanders will never gain the kind of momentum needed to mount a serious campaign…so now it’s just a waiting game to see who becomes the front runner.

Who do you think it’s going to be?
