The auctioning of prime space to candidates has ended, as well as expecting the candidates to pay for everyone’s food. I’m not sure they can stop candidates from paying for tickets and busing in loads from senior citizen homes though.
Burn it down? No way! Seeing Mike Huckabee jam guitar for an Elvis impersonator is an essential way to evaluate a candidate!
