work on "messaging and strategy".
My cynicism causes me to ask; "what happens to all that campaign cash if he doesn't spend it?"
I'm pretty sure it isn't returned to the donors.

(15,393 posts)so he plans to pocket that money, or put it into some "cough" foundation?
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)very much at this point without ticking off some wealthy GOPers with the means to see he goes down for violating campaign financing laws. But, he'll take a few percent for sure.
I think he's really looking for new ads angles, or getting ready to drop out. But, I'll be happy if you are right too.

(65,400 posts)It can be rolled into PACs for future party use, but the candidate can't "buy a yacht". (Quoting the piece.)
I know, I know, PINO Doesn't follow rules yada,yada,yada.
The fines would exceed to amount kept. PINO doesn't have that kind of liquid cash. It would be crippling to even try to keep it.

(65,400 posts)It would be only a portion of those funds, and that would be revenue, not profit, but I can see it happening.

The ad where the old lady gets murdered because Biden defunded the police was on constantly in PA. That had to have been expensive.
