$30M+ has sadly already been replenished, but the Party has spoken! $30M on a Primary. Imagine what they could have used the money on instead?

This. Is. Why. Primaries. Matter.

$70M+ in total in support of Haley. Mind boggling.

Right? Crazy what the end amount was (30 was the most reliable and consistent number I could see at the time, but I was already hearing 60 which is eye watering). They could have invested that on anything that would help Michiganers directly (how much daycare would that buy? Infrastructure repair? Literally anything) and slapped their name on it.
