I'm decent at excel, but not an accountant. I do other projections with it in my day job. But I'm trying to understand how Kamala spent 500M on staffing and Trump spent $11M on staffing...so everyone who talks about how people just didn't show out for Trump, they just stayed home instead of voting for Kamala. She outspent Trump on staffing by 45x...but does that include Oprah's fee? Beyonce's fee? J Lo's fee? Cardi B's fee? Does that include the bus company bill for shipping paid rally attendees?
Because none of those people she paid for endorsements did anything, they didn't go into communities and stump and work the crowds.
People are trying to say this was a loss for Kamala, but if you look at the Republican party, it was pretty united except for like Romney and the McCains. Vivek was out there stumping, hitting podcasts, De Santis was doing gangster shit in Florida etc.
But remember, Kamala went on Call her Daddy, a space where she wouldn't reach who she needed to. Call her Daddy is a sex podcast, I didn't listen to it, but my assumption is they talked about Kamala's promiscuity? Diddy parties? what did they talk about haha.
Anyway, this thing was won on the issues, not personality. And we have some smart people on this board who voted based on personality it seems unfortunate. Or they're polar opposite on the issues that most Americans care about. They align with the elites...well the elite don't win you elections.
ETA: Back to Kamala's finances, how in the world do you spend $30M with Gusto? Did they contract out the HR to them, not just payroll? Event at a 500M staff payroll that seems excessive.
