They raise millions than they lose, where does the money go?

1. they can keep it

but they cannot use the money for personal use. They can also donate money to other campaigns, but I believe the limit is 2500 dollars each election cycle. If they have a whole ton of money left over, they can give it to charity.

2. Could this also apply to...
Moveon.org or something of that nature? Could they keep it going twoards defeating you-know-who without getting hit by the spending limit like Soros did? Just a thought... :think:
