California: 'resistance' state has donated more to Trump than to most Democrats in 2020 race
The Manchester Guardian ^ | July 18, 2019 | Vivian Ho in San Francisco

Residents of California, the self-fashioned “resistance” state that has sued the Trump administration more than 50 times, has donated more money to the Trump 2020 campaign than to most Democratic candidates in the 2020 race.

Donald Trump raised $3.2m in California since the beginning of this year, according to campaign finance data analyzed by CalMatters, a not-for-profit news organization focused on California issues.

Trump beat out everybody in the field except for Senator Kamala Harris, who raised $7.5m, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who raised $5.1m. Harris, who is California’s junior senator, has been leading in donations from the state since launching her campaign in January.

Trump bested even the former vice-president Joe Biden, the frontrunner in the Democratic primary, and Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have strong support throughout the state.

Although affluent donors in Beverly Hills, Orange county and San Diego contributed significant sums – and together constituted a majority of California funds in Trump’s campaign war chest – 92.8% of donations came from small donors contributing less than $100. Many of these small donations came from the central region of the state, which tends to skew more conservative.

Hilarious and President Trump may just be warming up in Cali. Democratics hardest hit. Oh never mind, according to Groper Joe they believe “truth not facts”. Face palm.

I know it will never happen in a million years, but I so badly want a full 50 state monkey stomp larger than any election in history. I dream of watching the election night melt down on continuous loop.

THE once-great state of Californication is
enslaved under a commie-nazi far leftist dictatorship...for all practical purposes.. which imposes the highest taxes and living costs and the most anti-liberty anti-citizen assemblage of laws and regulations in USA

while keeping opposing candidates off the ballots in many state elections, too

finally, there’s a Pravda/Goebbelesque mass media that constantly harps against PDJT and all kinds of Christian Jewish Biblical moral values

with public school teacher unions funding and parading with the homos in the Streets of San Fransicko

just shows you how far Calif has descended

on the road to Perdition

Please President, go to California at least once per month. As Willie Sutton said when asked why he robbed banks he said “because that’s where the money is”.

Yes, that was my thought, too.

I keep telling everyone that CA is more conservative than people think. We are just drowning in massive unchecked voter fraud.

Pretty much the same as MN. Take the democrat hellholes, near the state’s tallest buildings, and it’s pretty conservative.

Yup. 90% of non CA FReepers know nothing about the state outside LA and San Francisco. Up where we’re building in NorCal, there were Trump signs all over the place and in Central Valley. There are millions of us, just like the owner /operator of Free Republic and Victor Davis Hanson and Tucker Carlson.

Yep, here in Roseville we have tons of conservatives. I just wish Trump would come out this way. With a little effort, I think Trump could win CA.

Have you ever found yourself wondering why the republicans write off CA so easily. I mean the electoral votes alone say both parties should be fighting tooth and nail over it.

I think there are alot of states that would go republican if voter fraud was dealt with. Especially this election, I mean look at what the dems are running on. Literally an anti-American platform. If the republicans would just pull their heads out of their nether regions, we could be looking at a literal landslide. But no..... Trump bad..... orange man bad..... idiots!

Hilarious and President Trump may just be warming up in Cali.

If he holds a rally or two there, he would set the place on fire - resurgent Republicans and panicked Democrats**.

Even though he would lose the CA Eectoral votes, I'll bet his coattails would bring in a few more down-ballot Republican Representatives. He's gonna need all the help he can get.

** Can you imagine the pearl-clutching that his announced rally(s) would cause, knowing how big the televised crowds would be?

Trump could win CA. Just attack the facts of the wackiest of policies associated with the dems. Hold rallies at the dozens of military bases. 👍

Yep, hold rallies here in CA, and see how the dems explain away how he can pack thousands of people per rally, in CA no less. Once the nation saw how many Trump supporters there are here maybe they would look into the voter fraud going on in this state.

Literally an anti-American platform.
______________________________________
It’s actually worse than that. They are running on the threat that if they win, they will disenfranchise everyone who doesn’t agree with them and kill anyone who fights back.

Now: if you were trying to win hearts and minds, would you get in people’s faces with sincere (”we’re really not joking”)promises to target them, their families and their businesses with physical annihilation?

“Vote for us because we’re going to wipe you out if you don’t.”

And you’ll let us live if you do win?

Yeah, I didn’t think so. No, thanks.
