The polls have shifted decidedly since Trump entered this contest and showed what a lightweight Beta is

So can candidates just give money to other candidates?

I know there are laws regarding campaign finance. It sounds like a giant loophole, if a candidate can take contributions intended for his campaign and just give them to someone else.

It’s really the redistribution of other people’s wealth that liberals are all for.

Reaffirming the stereotype of the progressive hypocrite:

Redistribution for thee, not for me.

Socialists want to share OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY - - NOT THEIR WON MONEY...

Everyone knows...(Cohen)

Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

There’s that Beto commercial where he touts he will represent all Texans in DC regardless of party affiliation. Yeh right Who’s he fooling other than the gullible Dummies. He’ll always be a 1+ vote for Schumer’s cabal just like he does for Pelosi. Cruz gets my vote guaranteed.

There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.
Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

I thought Don Henley wrote that song. His version is on one of his greatest hits compilations.

I would support campaign finance reform that involved forfeiture of losing candidates campaign funds.
It should go to the Treasury fund.
Donors, be they individuals or corporations or unions, should be allowed to give but politicians should not have a permanent slush fund at the conclusion of their campaigns.

I wish he spend some of that money on commercials where he wants medicare for all and gun control.

The same old “can’t we all get along” commercial is getting old.

We want socialism and we want it NOW! /betovoter

Democrats from outside Texas poured millions of dollars into another lost cause - trying to prop up the campaign of “Abortion Barbie” Wendy Davis. If they want to throw money down the drain to make a statement on behalf of doomed, zero-chance candidates, they should have at it and we should encourage them.
