I think one of my favorites was them trying to cancel Yeti because Yeti stopped giving NRA member discounts. People were destroying their Yeti coolers and I was telling everyone I would be happy to take them off their hands, instead.

One party has completely sold out and the other is just biding time until it can, too.
Let's be clear, though, they would still be getting paid even if HR1/SB1 passes. What the bill actually does to campaign finance is mostly meaningless. Also, this only places limits on campaign spending by foreign nationals. Any other campaign spending is still allowed as before, it just has more disclosure requirements.
And yes, I read the bill. A good chunk of it anyway. At 886 pages it's a good weekend read.
