Picking up a pattern here? Why bother with PAC's when you've got auto body owners & sponsor legislation for them. Boo-hoo, the Guv vetoed most. Bruce rec'd appx $1000 in PAC funds, half of that not specified & the largest from the NRA.

Let's see - he beats his wife, cheated on her, has his family living on the dole, is addicted to alcohol & cocaine, recently took his new third wife on a cruise, neglected to file/pay some federal income taxes, and does not live here. Boy, if he ever kills a dog - he's history!
