I still support him? what do you expect me to say? i hate him and now support cruz?
do you know how expensive campaigns are? they’re not cheap. the average cost of a winning Senate candidate from 2016 was $10.4 million. Million.
Cruz had PACs/super PACs and special interest groups pouring millions into his campaign. Beto’s came from the people. i still support him, and I will continue to support him.
EDIT: so, i got another ask from someone (probably the same person) about how he wouldn’t give money to other dem candidates, so screw beto.
Campaign finance law limits Campaign-to-Campaign donations to $2000
let’s do the math here. there were a total of 33 seats up for grabs in the senate. Subtract one to account for Beto himself. So now there are 32 senate seats up for grabs. If Beto’s campaign (his campaign, not him. He himself does not hold the money, it does not go into his pocket) donated to all 32 candidates, that would be $64,000.
Take it to the House. All 435 seats were running this time around. If the campaign had donated to them as well, that would come out to $870,000.
He can’t just freely give other candidates money. He is limited by federal law how much he can donate.
