Soltis Anderson: Bush Campaign Has a Shot at Being a Contender with Campaign Shakeup

‘He’s making the smart choice now by choosing to kind of retrench and sort of pull back in terms of what his campaign is spending’

ANDERSON: "It’s got to be frustrating for Jeb Bush because he came into this race wanting to run this joyful campaign where it was going to be all about his ideas and his record as governor of Florida. And it’s been hard for him to get enough oxygen around that despite the over $100 million with the super PAC. But he’s making the smart choice now by choosing to kind of retrench and sort of pull back in terms of what his campaign is spending. You know, this is what you saw from the McCain campaign in 2008, had a very rough summer. He came back to be the nominee. The Gingrich campaign in 2012.  Had a rough summer, retrenched, changed strategy, came back and won South Carolina. So, I think by making smart choices now, the Bush campaign has a shot at putting itself on a path back to being a strong contender."
