Marco Rubio’s Campaign Adviser Shares Tales of Keeping a Tight Watch on the Campaign Budget

What more could a presidential candidate ask for, than to watch an opponent walk out of the competition? The next step is to capitalize on their exit

and convince the people that they have a foolproof plan and strategy for any problem. And that is exactly what Marco Rubio’s campaign manager, Sullivan, did as soon as Scott Walker willfully ‘backed down’ from the Republican side of the board, just because of a case of “profligate spending”.

What could have been a better and the most fortunate time for Walker to do all this, than just when Sullivan wanted to share how hard a time he had been having keeping a watch on the campaign budget. All his sweating efforts now finally paying dividends, the ‘devoted’ campaign manager was quick to share/announce how tight a hold he keeps on the campaign’s purse strings.

Being a devoted member of the Marco Rubio campaign, Sullivan was quick to grasp the opportunity to tell details of the lean budgeting techniques they followed. He shared some golden rules of “how to spend on a tight campaign budget” at the event organized by the National Review and Google. He announced to all and sundry, that the staff had willingly agreed to pay cuts to work for Rubio’s campaign.

Sullivan was quick to mention that Rubio flies commercial around 95% of the time. He inadvertently missed to mention that the remaining 5% of his travels were made aboard a private jet. A perfect economical solution for a lean election campaign, isn’t it?

Sullivan shared his tips for lean budgeting and said that he actually had to sign a piece of paper every time there was an expense of $500 or more for the campaign. He was humble enough to accept the fact that this did add on to his problems as he had to sign many papers while performing his duties. The campaign manager asserted that all these lean and cutting techniques helped to set a proper mindset and culture to their campaign, which was shared and appreciated by all the workers.

Sullivan had good reasons to boast, as in the past few weeks, Walker was not the only one who had to ‘step down’ from the election campaign. Rick Perry also stepped out of the competition because of ‘money matters’, while Walker simply had to give an explanation that the finances simply weren’t there, since he had 90 hired staff members. In this scenario, Sullivan had all rights to boast and be proud of the great job he had done keeping the money under control.

Rubio’s dedicated campaign manager was quick to mention that they used to sell out the yard signs and bumper stickers instead of giving them away for free, which was another golden tip from the wise man Sullivan himself.

Marco Rubio is seen as a viable presidential candidate by many and Walker’s exit has strengthened his claim to electability according to some.
