      - But most of the schadenfreude is in the primary! Sure, there's a good bit in the campaign too, but... the schadenfreude in the primary! -- nm - Roger More Dec 11, 19:52
He wasn't going to lack for resources in the fall; his spending reset at the convention. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:12 1
- the campaign didn't see it that way -- (link) - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:16
