Trump raises staggering sum as campaign goes virtual to drum up support
Fox News ^ | 07.23.2020 | Paul Steinhauser

Posted on 07/23/2020 1:15:31 AM PDT by USA Conservative

The president raised a massive $20 million from over 300,000 donors as he held the first virtual fundraiser of his 2020 reelection campaign on Tuesday evening.

The eye-popping haul is nearly double the $11 million raised last month by Democratic challenger Joe Biden at a fundraiser co-hosted by his one-time boss, former President Obama. Fox News confirmed that Biden and Obama will team up again next Tuesday for a second fundraiser.

While the presumptive Democratic nominee has eschewed in-person fundraisers since the coronavirus pandemic swept the nation in March, the president has continued to hold such gatherings. The Trump campaign says the president brought in $10 million at a private in-person fundraiser held earlier this month in Hillsboro Beach, Fla., and an equal amount at a fundraiser last month in Dallas, Texas. He raised roughly $3 million at an in-person fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., last month.

The issue, it seems to me, isn't whether Trump, the GOP and its supporters will accept the results of Nov 3rd's election, but whether the Dems, BLM, Antifa, Radical Left, and Communist sympathizers in the US will.

Judging from events in heavily "progressive" cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, San Francisco, Albuquerque, New York, and even D.C., I have my doubts they will.

I will not at all be surprised if the nation descends to outright anarchy, riots, and perhaps even Civil War after Nov 3rd, egged along by a sanctimonious "mainstream" media and self-serving, far-left press, air-headed Hollywood personalities and "influencers", late-night/daytime TV hosts, and Silicon Valley social media algorithms, all peddling a biased social narrative and canceling out, misrepresenting, and manipulating the cumulative totality of American opinions and masquerading justified American outrage against social collapse and fear of anarchy by the majority of decent and right-thinking Americans.

I do not disagree with you.

Many mayors and governors will reject the results of the election.

But first we must win the election over the fraud those same mayors and governors will utilize against us.

We need to stay focused.....first, beat the fraud and win the election. We can deal with the ramifications afterward.

If the left wants a civil war, we can give it to them in spades!

$20 million is nothing compared to the billions illegally supporting the Demonrats via any means (Soros, Derp State, Red China, et al) and all other in-kind support. Evil has a limitless supply of $$.

Well as Obama said, after reelection Trump has more flexibility. The flexibility to launch an all out war on these domestic terrorists. We need to back him up on that.

OH THE DRAMA!! It’s like calling a game in the first quarter. Most people will not even be paying attention until October.

I understand the result you’re seeking, but I can’t understand that thinking - unless Trump’s an Obama-like egomaniac desperate for a 2-termer “legacy”: Why not take years 1-4 and do the same thing? Why bet it all on a re-election that might fail due to DS shenanigans (like race wars or a plandemic)? Why allow the swamp to fester and add lives ruined during years 1-4? Why not just do it out of the gate?

(Don’t say “to build a case” please - that wasn’t the rationale you used.)

And Trump is still at 49% on Rasmussen. Same as Obama was at this time in 2012.
The media are not doing so great are they?

The outcome to date doesn’t speak to the free media contribution they are making to Biden & the Ds, and where would Trump be in the polls if not for their daily onslaught? Add voter suppression via phony push polls to their free contribution to Biden.

The media have been making massive free in kind contributions for the Dems since before the 2016 elections and so far haven't laid a glove on Trump. An estimated over $1.5 Billion in kind contribution from the media for Hilary Clinton in 2016 plus Hilary spending twice as much as Trump still ended up with Trump winning.
Four years of viciously anti Trump attacks 24/7 and Trump is still at 49% Rasmussen, same as Obama was and Trump is at over 90% approval with Republicans. That is higher than even Reagan had with Republicans. And the enthusiasm gap advantage over Biden is still over 25%.
Look, there is something called the law of diminishing returns. I doubt if the media can make much of any difference right now.

I guess my point is w/o their contribution, these close races would be 6-8 point victories, and true momentum builders. We never would have lost the House and DJT could have spent his time on MAGA and rebranding the Republican party from one of globalists and lobbyists to adherents of Americans first.

It’s a good amount, but he needs more to overcome the billions of dollars of free media Biden is getting.
