Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging.
From the Washington Post, 4/11/16.
DT is kicking himself about that one. Oh, that’s right, he will only offer vacations in tacky hotels (only my opinion) or golf courses (golf membership is down so that might not work) but there are always casinos where he can get some money back.
My favorite time period is not the same as DT’s so our tastes are polar opposite.
