Democrats shudder at Trump’s money machine
Politico via Yahoo ^ | 10/21/19 | David Siders

Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have raised more than $300 million this year for his reelection — more than any other sitting president in history at this point in the campaign.

Trump has nearly twice as much cash on hand — $158 million, between his campaign account and the RNC — as Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee had at this time in his successful re-election run.

Already this year, Trump’s campaign operation has spent close to $23 million on TV and digital advertising, more than 10 times the amount that the lone major Democratic super PAC spending against him, Priorities USA, has laid out so far in its online-only spending campaign.

The Democratic presidential debates are the biggest fundraiser for Republicans that have ever been seen. The Democratic Party is batshit crazy.

This means the Democrats are effectively reliant on money from the entertainment industry, Wall Street “fat cats,” and questionable money from multiple sources.

From little people like me every time I get a few extra bucks. Just like I do here to help keep the lights on.

Well, Obama split off the DNC’s money to his own OFA and Hillary raided the DNC state coffers for her own campaign.

They only have themselves to blame.

And that’s what I don’t understand either...

The so-called “Wall Street Fat Cats” are going to be taxed into oblivion if Warren or Sanders get into office.

You are correct, he is so hated and all of the polls are against him, yet he packs every rally he goes to and has raised record amounts of money. At sometime the media is going to have realize things are not adding up.

Yes, but I think one of two things is happening here.

1) Either Trump isn’t as disliked as the media tries to make us believe or...

2) The money isn’t flowing to Dems because of the hard drive left that the party is taking. That’s irrespective of Trump’s money - but more of an explanation of their lag.

Of course, it could be both. I just find it very interesting and I’m sure not complaining.

And that’s exactly what made me post. Though I don’t think the media will ever advertise it. Then again, this was on Yahoo.

Between the lines - all the way through this article - Democrats are screwed and they know it.

“if he’s hated so much by everyone, where is all this money coming from???

Had this question to a lot of my TDS friends. My retort is sometimes “so what about the other 65 million who voted for him?”

So what good will all that money do if there is no access to the internet a few months before the election? That algorithm is getting continually tweaked and more and more people are finding themselves unable to communicate on line. I think going back to direct mail is unrealistic but it is all the Right, including Republicans is going to have access to. If MSFT and Apple decree that Trump’s content is entirely racist and violent how is that going to be countered? Wait for the market? That will take a lot longer than this election and if we lose it it will never come.

Brad Parscale heads the campaign and is one smart guy. He will find the avenues to reach the voters and is confident they will.

I’m not worried at all about Tech censorship. They are on the retreat no matter what stupidity they deploy.

Trump 2020!
