Sometimes, it pays to come in last. Just ask Stacey Abrams.
As the Democratic nominee, she took a shot at becoming Georgia’s governor in 2018.
Upon final count, she’d been bested by Republican Brian Kemp.
But why let a loss affect whether one wins? She simply refused to speak failure into existence.
“Is [Brian] the legitimate governor-elect of Georgia?” Jake Tapper asked her at the time.
She didn’t say yes:
“He is the person who won the adequate number of votes to become the governor. … Words have meaning. I spent my lifetime, not only as an attorney, but as a writer. And I’m careful of the words I choose. … He is the legal victor.”

interesting how politicians that never held a job in their life outside of politics become rich...
Evidently someone else is paying Abrams’ food bill.
Abrams also had $96,000 in student loan debt and $83,000 in accumulated credit card debt in 2018. She only had a positive net worth because a publisher had paid a $150,000 advance on her first nonfiction book. In that book, “Minority Leader,” Abrams wrote that she borrowed at a time when “my understanding of personal finance barely scratched the surface.”
Losing never paid so well:
As she launches a second bid this year, [lackluster finances are] no longer an issue.
Abrams now says she’s worth $3.17 million, according to state disclosures filed in March. That’s compared with a net worth of $109,000 when she first ran four years ago.
Because it's legal for someone to pay them $500,000 for consulting fees and not legal for them to donate more than a few thousand to their campaign.
Krispy Kreme stock is way up!
I’m thinking about identifying as a black grifter as a second career.
Seems pretty lucrative.
I have an Afro if I cut my hair short, am darker skinned than a lot of supposed black people, could fake black with some colored contacts (blue eyes).
Worried about pretending to be woke. Not sure I could pull that off. I have morals and consist internal logic that would probably get in the way.
She has found a way to take money from stupid people. As long as it’s legal, she and others like her will keep doing so.
She has mastered the grievance industry. She could teach Al Sharpton a thing or two!
Abrams and those connected with her were big beneficiaries of Facebook/Zuckerberg’s $350 million spending in 2020.
Georgia got the most of any state ($45 million) and 95% of that money went to “aiding elections” in Democrat counties.

A dollar a vote!
It looks like fat drunk and stupid is a way to go through life if you are a democrat, after all
> interesting how politicians that never held a job in their life outside of politics become rich <
Yep. And it doesn’t matter much whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican. There is room for all types of pigs at the trough.
The exception to this was Trump. He couldn’t be bought. That was one reason why the Deep State decided he had to go
Ukraine needs tanks,Why not send them an Abrams?
Even being worth $3.17 mil now, there's a better than average chance that she still hasn't paid her back taxes.
She just recently got a role on Star Trek: Discovery as the United Earth President.
This fat cow is laughing all the way to the bank. What a country we live in.
