"Jeb Bush needed a big debate performance more than anyone on the stage. Instead, he faded away, and his campaign isn’t even bothering to argue otherwise.
Banging on the CNBC production team’s door halfway through the debate, campaign manager Danny Diaz reamed the debate host over how little time Bush was getting. In the end, the one-time front-runner scored less than seven minutes, worse than almost every other candidate.%% When the debate ended, Diaz and campaign advisor Michael Steel faced relentless questioning in the spin room about how long Bush would remain in the race.
“I think we’re in for the long haul and we’re in to win, but I appreciate the question,” Diaz said to a reporter asking if Bush would still be in the race by the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.
But one week after seeing payroll slashed and consultants fired, some Bush staff wondered what the next round of recriminations would be – and if a blame game was about to begin. Many of Bush’s top donors found their already thin confidence further shaken."
