"He's not going to spend any more money than he has to, and he made his bet."

This is a MAJOR problem for Trumpsters. I read the exact same thing about Ross Perot. He had problems because he was not willing to spend his own money and tried to do everything on the cheap. Billionaires got where there are in part by being greedy skinflints. You think the Scrooge McDuck stereotype is not there for a reason? Trump Tweeted Tuesday that self-funding his campaign is not worth it, but he'll continue to do so. If he continues as he's been doing, it looks like he'll lose. Turns out it's much smarter psychologically to take donor money so you're less naturally stingy with it. Knowing that you are not allowed to spend it on yourself later, you have no choice but to use it on your campaign.

Think about that, Jedi (laughing at myself here- as if the stiffnecked ever think about anything once their mind is made up)

Both Perot & Trump built great fortunes for themselves. They didn’t do that by being foolish.

We keep electing these wastefully extravagant men & women and then wonder why they wind up being so wastefully extravagant with our tax dollars AND are incessantly seeking more.

Why can’t we see that, to them, we are just a blank check?
WE are the foolish ones (or some of us are).
