I also see that the people behind the curtain that always have claimed that it costs so much money to run for office. Must be crapping themselves as they can see the gravy train going of the rails.
You’re right about that. But Trump has some distinct advantages - his own transportation, tremendous business contacts, his own security, an apparent tremendously capable staff, he knows how to capitalize on situations to his advantage and, in his case, the political climate is right for such a person as him as a candidate.
One of my friends ran for the local school board a couple of years ago and I was one of the many volunteers who helped him in his campaign. I could not believe the resources - both in terms of manpower and money - that it took to campaign for such a small district. Really gotten to be something else.
