What does the source of the money have to do with anything? He could have spent voters money instead although I don't see that the source should matter.
Nevertheless, when Romney stepped aside he had more wins and more delegates than anyone except McCain.
In fact, he had more than Huckabee and all the other candidates added together.
As for Jeb Bush..... He is just as big a pandering RINO and open border advovcate as his brother and John McCain - maybe bigger.
Romney did NOT “step aside”. He suspended his campaign.
Those who know Romney know he is deceitful to get what
he want, and this pseudo-”step aside” only occurred because
Romney was LOSING. Romney does not want voters’ votes to
count and this is yet another way.
He outspent the entire field combined. That is what really matters. I know Romney also raised a bunch. But he spent a staggering amount of money between his own wealth and the money he raised for only a small percentage of delegates. It is not an accomplishment.
