(90,865 posts)Presidential candidates are SUPPOSED to be helping down-ballot candidates. Presidential candidates have much more drawing-power than others, and are SUPPOSED to share the largesse. That's how they help get more candidates from their own party elected so they can get more stuff DONE after they all get to Washington DC.
Trump is not helping anyone but himself, afaik, because he is a dick. Also he keeps bragging he can fund himself, and now he's out of money and wonders why he's not getting help. Like I said, the man is a dick.
I keep hearing that Bernie Sanders hasn't been sharing his donations, either. I know, I know, he has great plans for his "revolution" but if he doesn't spread the money around to other candidates soon he's not going to have any coattails.
Good lord.
