It's all a cash cow maneuver that is seen as a go to when the election season is upon. You have 2announce 2start 2collect campaign donations. All that isn't spent, when they drop out of the race, is funneled back into their personal holdings. That's the whole reason we're seeing this absurd number declared & we'll see more as the herd thins. Watch the $$$. Like Beto's run against Cruz, he pocketed a number of mil with a few $ transfers.
Time 2close the campaign donations loopholes.
As 2 Mike. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. They are as greed driven as the rest & maybe more so.
