If a cheap S.O.B. such as myself, after 30 years of being politically active is compelled to donate for the first time ever to Trump, then there is then a serious Trump Tsunami happening.

Best to do so online, I suppose, at a legit link. I wonder how many checks to Trump the Post Office is DISCARDING, never to be cashed? Lots of older people still use checks!

I’m making my first Trump donation tonight after the debate. He has a matching challenge going until the end of the month.

It’s been reported that Trump now has the all time fundraising record for individual donations under $200.

I’ll be sending him one within the week.

Hey, when was the last time a billionaire asked you for a couple of bucks? The novelty of that alone makes it worth it. :)

Good for you. This election will determine which direction the country will be going in for the foreseeable future. I have already donated once this month and will do it again. Maybe tomorrow afternoon.

Republicans/Conservatives have again and again been proven to be bigger and better, voluntary donors than Democratic socialists/progressives. The latter prefer to have other people’s money spent. And they’re smug about it. Better late than never for you. Congratulations!

I’ll be doing the same. I believe donating after the debate will send a message.

I donated. At the time it was more of an anti-Hillary donation. After tonight I plan on making my first pro-Trump donation.

I donated on Trump’s campaign website. Even though I am of the Gen-X generation, being born just before 1970, I have travelled too much to carry checks with me or be dependent on the USPS mail. The one year I let my spouse take care of the bills I had my employer-issued AMEX corporate card cancelled. It was not because I didn’t have enough money FYI.

I do everything online.

The first candidate I ever donated to was Reagan. I became a card-carrying RNC and got Xmas cards from the White House every Xmas. The RNC took me for a real sucker. They started sending me questionnaires to identify the issues I was most concerned with. Then they used my responses to construct funding requests targeted to my concerns.

It took me years to get them to stop mailing me crap. But eventually they did ... until I contributed to McCain-Palin and here it came again. My contributions now go only to the candidate.

Well, congratulations, WMarshal, for finally putting your money where your mouth is, so to speak. :)

My one and only contribution had been to George W. Bush. I made my second one to Trump yesterday. Hopefully, it will result in the same outcome: Trump winning!

I made my first last week to Trump, and I’m in my early 30s.
