1. How Much Money

Is he getting from rich Republican donors to do this?

[John1956PA]

4. I think he is very wealthy and has a big ego. n/t

[Ocelot II]

5. He is very wealthy himself. I don't think he's getting help from Republicans,

or that he needs it. I think it's the same kind of ego trip that makes other very rich people believe that being rich makes them special.

2. Who?

Never heard of him. Big mistake. In my view

[Ocelot II]

3. I hope his campaign crashes and burns on takeoff.

And I say this as a resident of the district next to his, and as one who has always thought he was a pretty good Congressman. But he has a shit-ton of money, which makes it possible for him and other similarly-situated rich people (Bloomberg? The governor of ND, whatever his name is? Ramaswamy? That fat orange guy?) to tilt at this particular windmill, irrespective of their actual qualifications. He has seriously pissed off the local Democrats, so he may find himself primaried and out of any job at all, not that he needs one.

6. He thinks he is another Bloomberg coming to "rescue" the Democrats, when no one asked for him

[mcar]

7. Who?

[bigtree]

8. so how many days until he issues a statement that he's withdrawing?

...and announces he's writing a book to keep his name on the lips of Jake Sherman?
