means what he says about real funding. If this guy can perform nicely in front of the cameras, more money will flood in. He doesn't need to win to improve things greatly for the GOP and hurt us. He's entering as a spoiler for the Democrats AND to get the Republican Party a new face.
He has a nice resume of being concerned about refugees but is an ex-CIA officer who is strong on defense. He worked as a banker at Goldman Sachs before working for the GOP Congress but will undoubtedly pose as an outsider who's never held office and try to draw both anti-establishment populists and mainstream conservatives.
My scary question is, could they possibly hope to throw the election to the Republican-controlled Congress? I.e., could he win anyway?
But my almost as scary questions are,
* We now have a fairly good chance of getting a majority in the Senate, perhaps even control. Could he spoil that by drawing off voters?
* We have a distant but real chance of getting a majority in the House. Has that just become
virtually impossible for the same reason?
* How might this affect all the other down-ticket races we have hopes of winning?
