Bush won't speak with top political adviser
The Jeb Bush presidential campaign is trying something unique in 2016: The candidate won't be speaking to a long-time top adviser.
Mike Murphy is heading up a pro-Bush Super PAC and is therefore legally prohibited from dealing directly with the candidate or his campaign.
“He’s a good friend, and I’m going to miss him,” Bush says, according to Bloomberg Politics. “I hope to see him on election night and give him an embrace. But from here on out, I won’t be talking to him.”
"Murphy is in charge of Right to Rise, a super PAC created to get Bush elected. Because of regulations requiring a separation between candidates and super PACs, they can’t formally coordinate their efforts between now and the election.
"All the major candidates in the 2016 race will have super PACs working on their behalf, but Bush and Murphy are trying something unprecedented in U.S. presidential elections: building a separate, and better-funded, organization that will in some ways eclipse the official campaign as a vehicle for promoting the candidate."
