    Allies of Donald Trump have begun holding events in black communities where organizers lavish praise on the president as they hand out tens of thousands of dollars to lucky attendees.

    In some ways, I wish much of this was made up. So, if others think it is made up, I'm assuming they'll chime in.

    Sounds as despicable as the “Walking Around Money” Democrats have been dropping on Urban voters for decades.

    I read it. Does not seem like anything I would go to. Did not see anywhere they found it to be illegal. So what's the beef.

    When I first read the OP, I thought they were just willy-nilly passing out money. It turns out it looks like door prizes. Big deal.

    What does a vote cost these days? Anyone done the math on that lately?

    I don't know, but I have never been on the receiving end of that money. How do you get it?

    Me either...I'd be interested in hearing any cash offers...I'm sure it would be insultingly low, causing my anger to rise and possibly putting the would-be buyer out of business permanently......Ben
