Please, please, please Santa, make it true.

*LMAO* It's a campaign! What's the use of having cash on hand the day after the election?

The use of it would be to put toward their next campaign, which such a strong candidate like Kamala Harris who ran a perfect campaign is surely willing to do.

She could also form a Leadership PAC with leftover funds, redirect funding to other candidates all the way down to local government, donate it to charity, start scholarships, or use it for any other legal expenditure that is not a personal purchase.

Except for the fact that she's an amazing politician who ran a perfect campaign...

I think a system that requires that much outlay of capital to be a value participant is disgusting, of a people that have lost their way, and likely corrupted.

That stated, the numbers are what they are: $20M of a $1B budget is a 2% cost overrun. One might prefer to see a 2% below budget outcome but a 2% over budget is not unusual for any large business project.

It is unusual when youve wasted a billion. Do you think a business would let you keep your job if you lost that much for them?

She didn’t.

I think a system that necessitates the need for that much capital outlay to make a candidate heard and viable for contention is one ripe for corrupting or, even more likely, pretty damn corrupt already.

How much did it cost Trump to get his hair or nails done or go on The Joe Rogan Experience? Did he pay Joe $600,000 to build him a new set?

When he first ran for president in 2016, how many billionaires donated to his campaign? He had like one friend, Sheldon Adelson, and he’s dead. Didn’t the rest of them give a morsel of their billions to Jeb and Hillary? If I recall correctly, they lost. Jeb, in fact, ran out of gas and $200 million after the South Carolina primary. He even had to dig into his own pockets and extend himself a loan in order to pay his other bills.

What I remember is the establishment—both old and new money—despised Trump. He campaigned by holding political rallies, and the bulk of his campaign funds came from small contributions and selling ball caps, the proceeds of which he used to buy ads on Facebook. He also got a lot of free advertising from the talking heads and press rooms at CNN and the New York Times—much of it telling the country what a scumbag he was!

You’d think Democrats would have learned by now that spending money on bullshit is not needed. What they need is to retune their message—but they won’t. First it was ignorant women who cost the first black woman the presidency. Than it was ignorant men, including ignorant black and Hispanic men. Now we learn it was mostly racist, ignorant white men.

It’s not he didn’t spend too much as well BUT the dark money in the Trump campaign. …

Outside spending on 2024 elections shatters records, fueled by billion-dollar 'dark money' infusion - OpenSecrets News

About $4.5 billion in outside spending has poured into 2024 elections, a new record.

$169 million from “America PAC” to Trump alone.

My case in Trump isn’t the money didn’t. It’s the one I’ve made all over these pages and it’s real, factual, logical, and undeniable.

Trump is a truly bad person. How do you support a known unprecedentedly bad perpetrator of bad acts without being a bit shady yourself?

How do you vote for Trump without your slip showing?

You sound like a Democrat. They’ve been calling half the country Nazis for years.

How do you vote for Trump without your slip showing?

Like I said, I didn’t vote for him, but, dark money or not, at least he supports my right to own a gun.

I sound like a retired law enforcer with a strong sense of right and wrong who knows how to find and follow an evidence trail, deduce facts from raw data and knows a criminal when the evidence states one exists. THAT is what I sound like.

Like I said, I didn’t vote for him, but, dark money or not, at least he supports my right to own a gun.

Good on you for having an ethical foundation that realizes giving a bad person power is not sound, logical, ethical thinking.

I carried for a living, public sector and private with my own consulting/services firm. I still carry today, but not for employment. I am not anti-gun. I am just anti dumb, untrained and unwell people having them because those groups guns are a danger to themselves and others, and those others include me and mine. I am fine with smart, trained, well people having them.

Its not just her who was responsible.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Yeah... the numbers don't include PAC money. Musk alone spent $175 million on Trump's campaign... do you figure he did that out of the goodness of his heart?

The point is that the Trump campaign spent the money wisely. Kamela spent over one billion stupidly.

It was a devolving of our national character that allowed for a few very wealthy people to use that devolving against us. They separated a majority into factions, placed them in juxtaposition to each other, and used their bickering as a smoke screen to cover their purchasing of our government to the ends of their minority.

We allowed it. It’s our fault. WE, in our aggregate, are responsible. The individuals acting not of sound ethical thinking more so than the others but we have all failed. The stain of this, and there is one and history will record it, is a national one upon our national character.
