I think this might be an actual attempt to win, rather than a cynical ploy to boost something else. The salaries being offered for primary campaign stuff in my area are miles beyond what anyone else offers, usually even in the general. If the goal was something as simple as scaring a few Dems on tax policy or gathering data, he could do it on a more modest budget without seeming out of line. He’s offering 6000 a month, with benefits, in Ohio through the November election regardless of how his campaign goes. That’s more than the state’s median income guaranteed for a position that usually makes somewhere in the minimum wage range.
