There are dozens of inconveniences that candidates must deal with in their quest for elected office. But running for office is not a right, it is a privilege. As such, they should weigh the pros and cons of being a candidate, and whether they can afford in time and/or money to meet the needs of campaigning versus mitigating the inconveniences using their own resources of time and money.
It is a slippery slope to say that campaign contributions can be used to pay for what is essential a non-campaign expense. What next? Using contributions to replace the wages of time away from a job to campaign? Using donor dollars to pay for medical expenses of an injury or illness occurring while going door-to-door? Allowing contributions to be used to cover a portion of the home mortgage because the basement in the candidate’s house is being used as a campaign office?
Just because Donald Trump does it means it’s right. In fact, it’s wrong. No candidate should be allow to use other people’s donations just because they seek public office.
Just another loop hole for politicians.
