■ Charities are more efficient than candidates. A charity that spends 25 percent of its budget on administrative costs, fundraising and communications is considered about average in the nonprofit world. The rest is used for achieving its goals. Candidates, however, spend every last dime given to them on overhead, fundraising and
communications. This is the nature of political campaigns. There’s nothing left at the end.
