I can see there's a good argument that he shouldn't be out of pocket, but I wouldn't be so quick to pay his expenses.

First of all, its a part of the party rules that winning a nomination vote does not mean you get the nomination. Chandler probably knew that, and with his past, he should have known getting the nomination would be hard even if he won the vote.

Second, he spent $127,000 for less than 1000 votes? In a nomination contest? Something's not right there.

Third, he solicited and received all kinds of donations. I doubt he intends to pay his donors back.
