    Unfortunately, don’t think he spends much on campaigning anyway. He just rants at rallies he doesn’t pay the bill for and tweets, and lets the media do the work for him. All that donation money he just pockets, but at least it’ll mean less money for him? So still a good thing.

    If DeSantis could buy a better personality that impressive war chest could possibly mean something.

    Holy crap DeSantis has triple the war chest of Trump and Haley has more than half of Trump. I did not know that.

    If I ran one of Trump’s super pacs I would be irate with him and his legal expenses. I’d be bailing and support a candidate ASAP who isn’t wasting my money.

      I bet they still love him. In typical dictator fashion, anyone who doesn’t worship him surely has been purged long ago.

        I mean, look at bill barr. He thinks trump is a fool and said of the current legal troubles “He’s toast”, but when pressed he said he’d still vote for trump over a Democrat.

          I thought Barr said he hadn’t decided. I took that to mean that he wanted to remain politically relevant.

            He was hedging, but the reporter kept pressing and barr finally said something like, “Obviously I’d have to vote for whoever was the nominee.”

      Oh yeah. Vivek Ramaswamy, who is an Indian American, is running a blatantly white supremacist campaign. The mind boggles.

      Nothing about the dude makes sense - including the apparent hope that American conservatives who bristled at the name Kamala (“She is named after a Hindu goddess! Literal satanism!”) would vote for someone whose name is Vivek Ramaswamy.
