Hope he spends all of it on such things as this cringe-worthy “dance”:

It’s actually pretty benign. Spam is short for spiced ham although it’s actually made from Pork picnic meat.

Basically it’s just coarse ground picnic meat, spiced with a small amount of gelatin added.

Sliced and fried it’s makes a pretty decent sandwich. Tastes an awful lot like those small Danish canned hams you used to see in the old days.

Thank you but no thank you. Seen it, bought it for others, seen it prepared, still have no desire to touch it.

No,Massachusetts isn't a battleground state,

Wrong. Massachusetts is absolutely a battleground state in the Dem primary, which is what this contest is for. These candidates are running for the Dem nomination, aren't they? So it makes sense to make a pitch in the Mass state, which is closely fought right now.

A billionaire thinks he has a right to buy an election.

That will go over big.

Not really...particularly when compared to the pivotal importance of the NH primary.

You might taste it if there’s ever another huge World War and meat is rationed.

One of the first things we learned to cook in Home Economics when I was a kid was fried Spam in barbecue sauce, on rice. It was actually pretty good. Spam had become popular with many people during- and in the years just after - WWII.

My wife agrees with you. I waited till she went to Canada to visit family to expose my children to Spam and Spaghetti-Os.

If I ever taste another piece of spam I will puke.

Parents used to eat that crap every lunch back when I was a kid and I really learned to hate that stuff.

Surprisingly, the folks most averse to Spam are the ones that have never tried it.

I find that perplexing.

My first experience was 60 some years ago on an Explorer Scout camping trip and it seemed OK. Then I had it a few more times and it gradually became disgusting. Haven’t had in about 60 years. In WW II it was one of the main food aid items we gave to the Soviet Union. The Red Army pretty much ate its way across Eastern Europe on Spam.

I wonder what those same ones think of canned Corned Beef.

(I call it ‘Poor Man’s Pate’.)

Both of these are excellent items for preppers to keep on hand.

Aren’t these types running to help the “little guy”, the “less fortunate” - those who aren’t guaranteed EQUAL SUCCESS??? Then use that money to help those poor people and leave the rest of us alone, you idiot!

“In WW II it was one of the main food aid items we gave to the Soviet Union. The Red Army pretty much ate its way across Eastern Europe on Spam.”

SPAM, radios, and Studebakers. SPAM reminds of ham slices in C Rats. Most of the flavored ones are not good except NLACK PEPPER and HOT AND SPICY. Mix up some brown sugar and mustard and spread on it before frying. Add left over fried rice and kimchi and there is a breakfast.
Or substitute fried scrapple for SPAM.
