indeed, promising to rob Peter to give (some of the loot) to Paul

is still an overly-popular scheme

and we see precious little outreach or voter education or even policy discussion efforts from more conservative sources, they all seem to have just quit?

If the current Democratic fundraising run rate persists, I expect Trump will once again be outspent by his Democratic opponent. That’s a sobering thought, when you consider that the GOP’s traditional strong suit has been fundraising, which is necessary to counter the Dem’s free media, based on 95% fellow traveling journalists on the tube, print and digital media.

kinda misleading...just the three RATs mentioned raised 39 million combined.
I wonder what all combine raised ?

Pres. Trump may have to blow some of that dough in primary fights.
I wouldn’t put it passed the richest of the repubs Romney\Kasich\Weld\Hogan to run just to get Pres. Trump to burn money.

33 states have open primaries and the RATs are trying to make it open primaries in 50 states for 2020.
If that happens, different ball game. RATs could primary out Pres. Trump.

Dem Party fundraising is meaningless. The Dems fund their candidates directly and have almost unlimited funds to do so. It is their true religion and they will give as much as it takes.

Dems. are helping Trump raise money. Nadler, Schiff, Water, Pelosi, Schumer and Company are not very attractive public relation people. The biased Mainstream Media also helps Trump raise money. People sending the money are mad about the bias and lies told over and over.

Any of them that support the GND are socialists, thus they should divide all their campaign contributions by 30 or whatever and share the $ equally amongst all the other candidates, right?

The fascist anti America billionaires will let their money do the talking in the house and senate races. A handful of these bastards blew Republican spending in the house away in 2018.

How are the Rats losing? Three of them put together beat Trump in fundraising.

That’s a bit of a stretch. Bush, Perry and Cruz were already lining up tens of millions, and Trump had his billions if he needed them; they simply hadn’t officially started their campaigns.

“To be honest thats a little disingenuous. There are around 20 Democrats running. Once there is a final nominee the money will flow in like never before.”

excepting however, that tons of money is being burned up by the Dems in a 50-state, knock-down, drag-out cat fight between the 20, money that will bo longer be available to the ultimate “winner” ...

You think 2020 Democrats weren’t getting their ducks in a row in 4th quarter 2018? All numbers are actuals reported to the FEC, as required by law. They get their money lined up as soon as they can, because this helps intimidate less confident candidates into getting out of the race.

I’ve read elsewhere that ALL of President Trump’s ‘donors’ have been ‘Everyday Deplorables’ with donations of less than $200 each.

No big corporations (*COUGH* Koch Brothers *COUGH*) are shelling out the dough for his re-election.

Has anyone else ready this? I don’t remember the source - Sorry!

It’s very early. Wall street and Silicon Valley always side with corporatism I mean Democrats.
