Donald Trump For President?
Donald Trump for President?
Somehow I doubt it. First of all do you really think that Donald Trump has time for being President? While I’m sure he has a lot of confidence in his son, daughter, and his board I doubt he has complete confidence to leave his company in their hands for 4-8 years when he is in the prime of his business career.
So what is really going on here? Well I have an idea, and quite frankly I think it’s a great idea. Who is the break down.
So how much money can a single person donate to a person running for President? Not much. A total of #2,500 to any one person, and a grand total of $108,200 if you donate to multiple people, and parties and PACs (what ever those are).
So how do you get even more money thrown in for your cause? You run for President, and get as many donations as possible. At this point you argue your point – Which just so happens to be identical to another member in your party.
Then you do one of two things. Either you run in the primaries, and who has more support gets to move on…. Or better yet just before the primaries you bow out, and put your full support behind that candidate whose values just so happen to be the exact same as your own. At this point a large percentage of your supporters vote for the other guy.
And at the end of the day you have raised millions of dollars for your cause that otherwise would not have been donated - Because legally it couldn’t be with just one candidate.
I think it’s a great concept. And to a lesser extent it happens in every election cycle. The difference is that the other candidates don’t have it planned, but when you have two or more people trying to run under the same party almost every single time the person who loses throws his/her support behind the person moving on. No not all the money donated in these cases is going towards the same values, but if you are running for the same party most of your values are going to be the same.
