Donald Trump has a big problem with email spam

If you didn’t get Donald Trump’s first email asking for money, you may be among the silent majority—that is, the silent majority of people who signed up for his emails but had this message silently dumped into a spam folder.

A full 59.3% of copies of Trump’s “The First One” email got filtered out as junk Wednesday, according to the mail-services company Return Path.

The New York-based firm maintains a consumer panel of some 2.5 million people to help gauge how marketing campaigns pan out in public, and Return Path’s tools revealed some insights about the presumptive Republican nominee’s digital camp

The average open rate across Return Path’s government/non-profit category is 11%; a 20% open rate is pretty spectacular. Trump’s “The First One” message got a 12% open rate.

Sather credited Trump for keeping his correspondence unpredictable—“part of it is just curiosity factor”—and less frequent, leaving recipients “not as fatigued.”

But in that same time, Trump recipients marked 3.1% of those emails as spam; only .41% of Sanders messages and .02% of Clinton’s met the same fate. Three weeks earlier, Trump’s would-be readers were even less forgiving, marking 9.34% of his messages as spam.

Cruz’s spam turned me off several months before he started lying about Trump’s positions.

Ted and Heidi always prayed for hours and hours and hours before sending any of their pleas for money. Can Trump say the same?

I bought his book as well. Bet I couldn’t give it away now. Maybe have to pay someone to take it.

It is a bit much No, in fact it’s so overwhelming that just this morning I marked them all spam.

I mean, really? 9 emails to start my morning from Eric, a campaign advisor, supporters and DJT?

I’ll have at 3 more by the end of the day.

It’s called “Over Exposed”.

I got USPS mail from Rand Paul and Ted Cruz a few days ago. It bounced right into the circular file.
