When he started begging for money it was all over the place about the fine print..... all the small donations went to him and you had to be a donor of what...like 8 racks before any money went to the RNC, Etc.... I said it was funny as shit that broke ass/needy crackers will give money to a billionaire that said and I quote "I don't need any money to run with, so I can't be bought... I'm a billionaire...I'm incredibly rich!!!"
