(Vanity) Discussion: Who has money for campaign donations and does it matter?
Vanity ^ | March 24,2020 | ConserativeInPA

Joe Biden's campaign is low on cash. Trump is in good shape, and he has a free bully pulpit with presidency and the ChiCom Flu. Biden has to resort to ill planned and executed shadow briefings for messaging. Unemployment is exploding. Money is tight for those Americans. Granted, the rich can afford to donate to campaigns, poor economy or not. Businesses, no so much. What effect does this have on the election? On campaign ground operations? On get out the vote efforts?

Biden gets about a billion in-kind from the MSM.

Plus Bloomhead will figure out how to throw him another couple billion through the PACks.

It doesn’t matter.

I suspect Bloomberg lost more in the crash than in his campaign.

I think a huge amount of it goes into media buys. Commercials and such.

FWIW, I still occasionally donate, but never, EVER to the RNC.

Bloomberg’s campaign proved that money doesn’t guarantee election.

What does he do with all his money? Maybe his kid can chip in!

I don’t know any amount of money that would stop my vote for Trump. Reminds me of the blacks that complain about voter repression. What could anyone do to suppress another persons vote if they were determined to vote?

So far, being retired with all government-backed pensions/SS has kept us from feeling any financial pain (and having our IRAs in minimum guaranteed with 100% principle protection helps a lot) so we will continue support for FR, a Christian Radio station my wife likes, and President Trump - with an occasional few bucks to other conservative candidates that seem to need the help.
