Money can’t buy love (delegates? Maybe)

I have to laugh at some of the math that goes into elections. Hillary Clinton spent $5-million on Pennsylvania. She gained a net increase of 10 delegates. That’s half a million dollars per delegate. 

If it was that easy to win a presidential nomination, I’d just offer half a million dollars to each of the SuperDelegates and be done with it.

The problem is what happens when you lose. I spent $15-million in Pennsylvania knowing I was going to lose the election, but needing to keep the margin close, to make sure I didn’t lose more than 10 delegates.

What a crazy business.

To keep people from focusing on election reform and campaign spending and how I keep losing big states, I’ll tell everyone how I plan to remodel the White House once I’m President. 

First, we gotta get rid of that whole ‘White‘ House thing. It’s been around too long. Second, I’ll get rid of the Rose Garden and put in a basketball court.
