The question is how big his involvement was there in 2010. If he got a look at the field (and let’s face it, it was all second-tier), he might’ve decided it wasn’t worth wasting money on. Would you have dumped $$ into Angle’s candidacy ? If I was working for Trump, I’d have told him not to spend one red cent on her, because she was a proven loser. Sometimes you have to pick your battles.
If I was wealthy yes, I would have given money to Angle in the general election, especially if Reid was a potential threat to my business.
I thought from the start “this b is likely to blow it” but at no point did I write off her chances, that race wasn’t Akin/McCrapskull.
