Republican millionaires have a damn tough life.

It’s getting harder and harder for them to buy an election.  This year they have ended up spending millions of dollars against each other, much to my delight, and then they have to compete against Donald Trump’s free media.

If Donald Trump was trying to spoil the effect of SuperPAC money, he’s doing a damn good job of it.

“Paid ads can’t overwhelm earned media. It never could,” said one official with a super-PAC backing a Republican presidential candidate who wasn’t authorized to speak on the record. “All of that stuff is a much louder microphone than anything we have, but in a very real sense the campaign is just starting now.”

And there’s this to consider …

Trump’s dominance in free media has made the paid attacks against him almost meaningless. His rivals watched as a $1 million-blitz against him from Club for Growth did little-to-no damage.

So, if you were a millionaire trying to buy an election, you’ve got more problems than granny with one hoe and fifteen snakes.

You didn’t think about that, did ya?  Thank God for sparing you that heartbreak of wealth.
