I think Wu's only path to primary victory would be a ton of crossover votes from conservatives to get her to the general and have a much better chance at the GOP winning the seat (with Wu seen as a much weaker Dem cand than Lynch). It'd be a match between sane libs for Lynch and conservatives and fringe wackos for Wu (presuming it is between Lynch and Wu).

Democrats supposedly supported Todd Akin of "legitimate rape" fame in the Missouri senate race because they knew he'd lose to Claire McCaskill. The only problem here is that Wu is running for the House, which Republicans control, and even if they got her thru the primary, shed be destroyed by the republican, but that republican would be replaced in two years when someone relatively sane runs.

Tl;dr, too much investment for too little payoff. But I'd love to see the Wu vs. Republican debate.

Also, March 30 is when quarterly campaign reports are due. I believe these are made public. Any bets on how much Frank and Bri cook the books on this one?

Now that gamergate isn't the main SJW boogieman anymore, the new deflect technique is to accuse your opponent of being a Russian, despite the fact that being Russian is not inherently bad, and despite any lack of proof that the person is Russian.

Sane person: "As a voter in the area, I'd like to knwo why you're collecting money from people outside your voting district"

White Knight: "Don't you have some vodka and borscht to make instead of bothering my waifu, komrade?"

Sane person: *presents proof of Boston residence*

White Knight: "NYET!" *hits block button*

See? This was all goopergrape's fault! they hacked Brianna's brain and made him forget the link!
 
John has to remember that this is not Kickstarter, people is going to ask where their money is cough *wasted* i mean invested, people are going to make questions John, and if they know that you wasted your campaign money in Soylent, new Nerf guns and Star Trek timelines they are not going to be very happy about it
 
I think Wu winning could end up being a net positive and catalyst for actual change.

1) He gets elected and completely shits up the job by alienating his constituents and mismanaging money like a mofo.
2) People get tired of his shit and remove him from office.
3) People throughout his state/the country see that removing shitty leaders isn't that difficult and decide they've had enough of their own shitty leaders and remove them from office.
4) He goes full recluse/shut-in, gains 200 pounds, Frank leaves him for an actual woman, and then he has a heart attack and keels over in a bowl of chocolate pudding and tears.

Optimistic for sure, but one can hope, right?

Just a word aside to those who are fretting about the money Johnny is pulling in via donations

This is the best outcome because the FEC rules are very strict and every dollar he takes in has to be recorded and tracked. Any of it goes missing or is spent on personal goods or services and he will have to answer for it.

John basicly strapped a big bomb to his silcone tits.

We will be watching and all campaign expenses have to be listed and made available by request. Given Johnny's complete inability to be comptent at pretty much anything it's only a matter of time until he fucks up and misspends his campaign funds on some stupid trivial shit.

Then the fun starts!

So hope that he takes in the bucks bcuase the seriousness of the crime is dependent on the fraudulent amont.

Pretty sure this is what Jesse Jackson Jr and his wife went to jail for.

And you're 100% correct on how strict the reporting is. Check out the FEC website and search for a Congressional candidate.

http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/candcmte_info.shtml

You'll notice they have to track everything. I looked up Lynch's filings and he tracks the $6 coffee at Starbucks in the filing.

It'll also tell us the people who are donating to this nut. Will Wu's estranged millionaire parents contribute to the cause? How much money will Frank have to put in to get the ball rolling? All these questions and many more will be answered on April 15th.

Well done E.D. very well done.

So, what do you guys think, how likely is it, that the Wu's face an investigation on embezzling campaign funds for personal expenses in 2019?

While I want to agree with this, I very much doubt it will get much past June of this year. But, I have been wrong before, and for lolz sake, I hope I'm wrong again.

Legit question, does Flu have any contact with his parents or family at all? @Jaimas this would be your department, and I'm curious. I haven't seen anything in the wiki that mentions the current state of their relationship.

I think you are right. Tangentially, the thing I remember most about the Jessee Jackson Jr thing was that when it hit the news cycle was that people overall were far less outraged by the fact that he stole money than they were over what he squandered it on which was seen by some as "typical black guy shit" including fur coats and sports/entertainment memorabilia.

Anthony Weiner got hit to a lesser degree with a fine. I think he spent some money on some TVs, computer equipment, personal dry cleaning.

If this campaign lasts beyond April, I'm pretty sure John will end up far afoul of the FEC.

Wu claims they disowned him because he became a filthy democrat.

All evidence is that they try desperately to forget that she exists because she's a fucking cancer.

Well, given Wu basically doesn't want them to be their parents anyway, the feeling appears to be mutual.

That's just her being butthurt that they cut her off. If there was any chance of her still getting money from them, I doubt we'd get all the oh-so-wonderful "I WAS ADOPTED AND RAISED IN THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRY KNOWN AS MISSISSIPPI" stories that Brianna loves to go on about.

"Literally Wu?"

I too doubt he'll keep this endeavor up long enough to run afoul of the FEC, but I'd love to see it happen. Not for A-log purposes - no I'd love for the investigation to show what dumb shit he would spend the money on. I'm sure for every dumb thing he buys and shows off on twitter, there are 2-3 even more retarded purchases.

"Miss Wu, can you please explain to me why you spent campaign funds on 20 Sailor Moon dolls?"

Gear up boys, we're going in deep! On a serious note Wu's campaign is dead on arrival. Others have already mentioned the ugly reality that Wu will face if he would want to have a chance in becoming the nominee for his party, and I don't expect Wu wanting to get his hands dirty by building bridges with both voters and party members, raising funds, and so forth.
