I am on a 17-day business trip that has taken me to 15 different states. It will be 16 by the time I’m done next week. I saw my first “Trump 2020” signs already. MAGA.

If they persist use their postage paid envelopes and return them stuffed with junk mail.

“If they persist use their postage paid envelopes and return them stuffed with junk mail.”

Back in the day I got myself on 2 or 3 gun control groups mailing lists. Every time I got a letter from them with a handy postage paid envelope I’d stuff it full of plate washers and send it back.

Great fun.

I hate to disappoint you, but you will need to donate a lot more than that to meet Trump. A mere $4,000 or so won’t do it.

[Conserv]

Nice. If it happens, you will have to post the details.

“3 - I am sending nothing because I don’t support Trump or Republicans at all...”

Seriously? If so it’s like they are trying cover the lack of money by blaming it on Trump.

><><

They’re not blaming Trump.

They’re playing on making people feel guilty.

Jeez, everything is not blaming Trump. Read it again and you might get it.

I was a Bundler in 2008 [Fred T] and raised $40,000, will bundle for Trump.

[wardaddy]

There’s a lot at stake

But what about after Trumpus Magnus

I feel like he’s the Prussian with his finger in the dike

[Reno89519]

Aside from judicial appointments, which Republicans are slow-walking, my guess is that too much of what Trump has set out to do is all talk, little physical results and will just as quickly disappear. Or, more likely, be swamped by the invasion of illegals getting in under his watch. Sadly, even if the border was closed tomorrow, there are millions already in the country, 30-60 million. And the number leaving are not being talked about because they are so incredibly few.

[Reno89519]

How much did you bundle for Cruz? If I recall correctly, you once wrote $80,000.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’m aiming at the future, not the past. You should too.

[Reno89519]

Yet you talk about Thompson and entirely skip Cruz. A Never Trumper waiting to tout Cruz? Why hide your previous bundling and constant support for Cruz? I don’t recall you saying it was wrong, never apologize for it, etc. Anyway, if we can’t be honest about the past, what does the future portend?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I remember how vicious you were about Cruz, why feed you ammunition now?

[Windflier]

Trump is going to kill this.

[GizzyGirl]

I donate $100 directly to our great POTUS every quarter. Makes my heart happy!

[NetAddicted]

T-magic? Great name.

[apillar]

The most insulting part is they give 3 payment options:

1 - I am sending $50+ in support of RNC...

2 - I don’t have much but am sending $15 to cover processing fee for the survey. (which they most likely don’t read anyway)

3 - I am sending nothing because I don’t support Trump or Republicans at all...

I chose option 4 - Straight into the shredder unopened...

With political donations I will go to directly to the candidates website I want to support. I never respond or even look at direct mail requests.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"The Trump campaign said nearly 99% of its donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26."

This to me is an important stat in the story. That means there are a lot of people donating 20 bucks here, 100 bucks there. These are not big money donors, just regular people. And if you donate to the campaign, that means you are certainly going to vote for the man/woman.

[catnipman]

“A mere $4,000 or so won’t do it.”

max legal donation per person to a campaign is $2,800.00 ...

[GOPJ]

...$30 million in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined...

Great job President Trump...
