      This is exactly what they’re excellent at. Spending other people’s money with no real plan to recoup it, hoping the next big sucker will come along and bail them out to a golden parachute before the floor falls out.

      But now the floor is falling and someone has to hold the bag. It’s probably not going to be any billionaires.

        No plan to recoup it? The trump tax cuts paid for their donations multiple times over. Pure graft.

      It would be pretty easy for anyone to do a hostile takeover of the Libertarian Party. Anyone can register as a member and according to Wikipedia they have about 700,000 actual members. Billionaires and the Mitt Romney/Mike Pence/Ted Cruz wing of the GOP could swoop in and leave the name ‘Republican’ to the MAGoos.
