So he is using Republican money on himself rather than Republicans? You would think that's the big nono. Is it?
The Republican party has almost entirely debased itself.
Almost entirely? Like, what would it take for you to say they've entirely debased themselves?
Ted Cruz fought a case all the way to SCOTUS to allow unlimited campaign donations after an election has taken place. What makes you think other Republicans aren't using campaign and RNC money for themselves?
They all are.
I would be surprised if every federal politician isn't doing it. You can loan your campaign money at 20% interest and pay yourself back with your donors' money legally. Being a Fed is a license to print your own profit.
