And/Or a way for a rich donor to have a workaround for campaign donations limits.
I smell money laundering.
I'm confused about the mechanics of that. They still need to pay for the gift cards and that money needs to come from somewhere. And even if they manage to hide where the gift card money is coming from, a 20:1 money laundering scheme sounds ridiculously inefficient.
It's the other way around. He has money. He needs more followers (donates). He's buying them.
What's the benefit of getting a higher donor count? Is there some election rule about that?
Yes, it states it in the article but you need 40k doners and 200 from each state.
I don't see how that would be possible.
This seems simply a way to buy in to getting on the debate stage.
