Tuesday night’s debate might feature 12 candidates, up from 10, but there are still plenty of Democrats running for president in 2020 even though they aren’t exactly getting the limelight. One of those candidates is the mayor of Mirama, Fla., Wayne Messam, whose campaign announced that it raised $5 in the third quarter of the year.
Wayne Messam is reporting he raised $5 in Q3 and spent $0. Has $31k on hand https://t.co/RgeCQXFhLm

I would have pocketed the fiver and lied. Somehow 0 seems less embarrassing than 5.

It's one Presidential campaign, Michael. What could it could, five dollars?

That's hilarious. He's a teribble candidate running a terrible campaign. Abusing and not paying staff too.

Anyone can reject corporate donors, but it takes a candidate of real integrity to reject all donors. ??

Same for me except $5 is also my cash on hand number.
