What? You didn’t get your $10K check from the NRA to vote for Trump? You really missed out.

My NRA check was Red and had Stalin’s picture on it too, BTW. But it didn’t bounce.

Hi guy.

In the fwiw dept, Cankles out spent Trump 2 to 1. And the Arabs and labor unions out spent the NRA 10 to 1.

It appears to be about the demonization of everything and everyone that Democrats don't like. The Russia fetish that the left has, is fascinating.

NYT says she spent $565M vs $322M for Trump so how can you buy an election by spending half?

I’m waiting for them to accuse all of us “Deplorables” of colluding with and being paid by the Russians too! Calling the left unhinged and crazy is too charitable!

The NRA doled out less than 2 million, like 1.8 if I remember correctly, last election to ALL candidates. Peanuts in comparison to many groups, etc.

Not only the NRA and Russia but Christians too!

NBC News claims that the NRA spent $9.6 million supporting Trump and $12 million opposing Hillary.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/04/14/somebody-just-put-a-price-tag-on-the-2016-election-its-a-doozy/?utm_term=.bee4de54b3c2

The Washington Post claims that Clinton’s campaign totaled $768 million in spending and Trump’s totaled $398 million.

If Hillary couldn’t overcome the NRA while outspending them 60:1, it’s not the NRA that stopped her. Similarly, the NRA’s pro-Trump message was dominated at 40:1 by the Trump campaign message. Additionally, the NRA’s messaging was primarily national, not focused on key states. The numbers would say that the NRA’s message was big enough to be noticed, but it should not have been decisive. As for NRA members as voters, the 5 million pro-gun voters were all scared to death of Hillary, and they certainly made a difference.
