Yes, others cowered before their attacks, but they did not have the personal funds to keep going when the attacks would destroy their funding. Since Trump doesn’t depend on outside funds, he can do this.
However, this means only the really rich can fight the media machine and win. Which means common people can never make a difference at this level.
Horsefeathers!!!!!
He’s giving us a template of ‘how to’
We need to screw up our courage and do it!
Do we want to be a people who cower from a raised eyebrow????
NO!
Sure, he has money.....but he burned his bridges with a lot of his ‘wealthy’ friends ( some who don’t call him a friend anymore, shallow they are)
...6 months ago!
He truly has aligned with us!
. Jeb has/had >100 million avalable spend.
You forgot to include how much Trump has spent so far.
I’m guessing from your comments that you don’t know, so I’ll tell you; less than anyone else.
Your caveat would be true, except for the undeniable fact that Trump’s money has been a non-factor thus far. He has only had to spend a paltry $300K on his campaign. His constant skillful use of social media, and his powerful personality, FORCES the drive-by media to cover him or get left in the dust.
I understand your point, but I think their are lots of ways around this. We've yet to see an effective internet-based campaign, with real-time internet campaign events and dissemination of ideas and candidate identity via non-traditional means (e.g. real-time online debates). This is just one alternative avenue.
