Jeb Bush's campaign finds itself in such deep trouble that the former Florida governor and erstwhile frontrunner just announced that he was cutting the size of his campaign staff at his Miami headquarters by half and slashing the pay of his remaining staff by 40 percent in a last ditch attempt to save his flailing campaign. Bloomberg first reported on the news, confirming days of speculation about an impending, drastic shift. Bush announced last week that his third-quarter fund-raising was $13.4 million with $10 million on hand and he's seen no positive shift in his lagging polling. In what Politico described as a "a wholesale restructuring" of his struggling campaign, Jeb is firing some senior campaign staffers, doing away with a number of consultants and slashing his remaining's staff salaries by 40 percent in an effort to safe $1 million dollars a month by cutting his total campaign spending by 45 percent (TV ads and mailers excluded). "We are making changes today to ensure Jeb is best positioned to win the nomination and general election," campaign spokesperson Kristy Campbell told the Washington Post.
