Maybe he will run as a Palooka Republican.

That means he’s there to take a fall, and from what I read from another reply on another thread yesterday,

he gets to keep all the money left over from his campaign funds.

so if you don’t campaign very hard, don’t buy a lot of ads, then you have a lot of money left over and it’s all yours.

So some Republicans just are there to supply a warm body for the Dem to run against.

They deliberately lose. Then, apparently, go home with the leftover $$.

And that’s legal? How pathetic. Why would anyone donate?

That is not true and hasn’t been true for at least 25 years. It HAD been the case that candidates could convert campaign funds to personal funds, but that was cleaned up in the early 80s.
