did you know that despite the fact that it raised a staggering 13 million dollars, The National Draft Ben Carson for President isn’t affiliated with Ben Carson and the small percentage of money it spent on independent expenditures didn’t go to him?


So where did it go?

a. the money goes to pay staff and six figure salaries for the Execs.

b. the less cynical answer is that many groups do direct mail fundraising. It costs $1m to raise $1m. So no money is left. At that point they have developed a list for the future. They’ve developed a valuable database.

Probably in to the pocket of the organizer of the PAC.

It went into people’s pockets, of course.
