| The Heidi Heitkamp's Kavanough 'Pay Off' - She loses the race, but walks away with the dough |
| 2018-10-28 |
| [Hot Air] Seems productive. Her vote didn’t stop Kavanaugh and might very well have doomed her in a must-win state for Democrats, but here’s 12 million bucks that would have been more useful to Phil Bredesen or Bill Nelson as gratitude for being part of the Resistance. It’s the candidate equivalent of one of those insanely lucrative GoFundMe campaigns for Trump enemies like Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok. There is no bottom to the reservoir of ResistanceBucks. What’s ex-Senator Heitkamp gonna do with all of this campaign dough? Unlike Beto!, another lavishly funded lost-cause hero, she doesn’t have a presidential run to plan. |

| #6 As I understand it a candidate can keep the leftover funds from their last campaign. If they even run for dog catcher again it can get IRS complicated. |

| #5 And John Kerry kept about 20 million in unspent campaign funds. No doubt it’s somewhere safe, with his navy records. |

| #4 Maxine Waters has a pretty nice mansion if I recall. A fine example of how she truly represents her constituents. |

| #3 They have a lot of money for their 'causes' none of which are effective charities other than using the public treasury as their personal charity distribution tool to satisfy their virtue signalling. |

| #2 Yes, many of them arrive in D.C. virtual paupers but leave multi-millionaires. Strange how that happens on congressional wages, very strange. |

| #1 Always remember, B, that outside of a few true believers the left is about using the apparatus of state to line their pockets. |
