12. All that money is paying Republicans to campaign

Think about it. A Party is a lot more than the candidates. There's all the consultants and office staff and lawyers and advisers and drivers and image managers and hair and makeup and then there the managers at the top who get CEO levels of pay with their OWN secretaries and office staff and assistants and lawyers and media consultants and,....well, you get the picture....it's big business.....BLOATED big business with thousands of non-volunteer types getting tens of thousands to millions.

And because there's so much money this time, it's being skimmed as well.

Now comes the REAL comedy to all of this. You watch, they'll run on their greatness in handling the economy and claim the whole campaign ends in massive debt.

Then they'll beg their stupid followers to help them out. For the sake of charity and loyalty to the party.

Then they'll start the whole thing over again in a few months for the upcoming mid-terms....
