Trump Campaign Raises Record $125 Million

[morvoran]

whatever this site was better off before a political board was added, at least it stayed gaming related any political news i mean

. Like the saying goes,"if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen". Maybe change your site settings to hide this section from your view, so you can have your "safe space" back. Just a suggestion.

And I'm sure your avatar is the spitting image of yourself, Bubba.

. Yeah, I look just like a cartoon black guy. Pfff, whatever.

I don't see race in that image. I see inbred Trumpbilly. Shrug.

What? Maybe, you should try not looking at things so broadly as you didn't seem to understand where I was coming from or where I was going. I must say that you chose your user name well.

I stand by what I said. I only ask that you listen to some wisdom in regards to what you are saying. I raised a well mannered point about the following:

As the commander in chief, Trump has the obligation of any enlisted service member such as stated in the oath, "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;"

You are using this oath that service members take and saying to take action against those who you disagree with politically.

Because what you just edited your post to after I raised my point to:

No greater enemies to our constitution than the treasonous Democrats in Congress, those running for president that want to take away our 2nd amendment rights and make us a socialist country, or the lying lame stream media.

This shows you are definitely misaligned to think that oath is to be used against those who are running for public office. If America votes them in and then they all gather enough votes to abolish the 2nd amendment, well that is the will of the people. Do I agree with it? No. Is that what Beto or any other democrat's true position? (I'm presuming that's whom you are referencing) No. I'm not having a gun control debate here and I'm not going to have you steer the conversation away from what you did. You used the oath of service inappropriately and I think it's something that someone who speaks with other service members who served overseas would think twice about doing so in such a cavalier manner. This is advice from someone that's been around. Take it or leave it. Improve yourself or don't.

Just to be clear I'm not speaking out of partisan motives, I've said the same to democrats who were protesting after 2016 election. If we end up removing electoral college after 2020 then we do so democratically via legislation. Vote in congressional leaders that will seek to change that if it's important enough.

Wow, just because somebody runs for office doesn't make them immune from committing crimes. That's a Democrat tactic they are trying to use to prevent the Republicans from investigating their corruption.

Why do you think Killary Clinton is, conveniently, looking into running again? She can just say Trump is colluding with other countries to attack an opponent once the GOP starts looking into her again.

I'm not falling for it. Good try.

I'm not saying that anyone is above the law. We discussed this in great length in a previous thread. I suggest you return to it if you think Trump used the correct channels to investigate a political rival. The fact that you stopped discussing there is enough of a concession for me to pursue this no further, especially on this thread.

Also, this is about campaign finances. Stay on topic please. And for the love of all that is holy: Hillary Clinton is not running in 2020. Unless she does a public announcement, let's not quote steve fucking banon as a legit source when he's drumming up fundraising for Trump.

(see how I tied it back to campaign fundraising? let's try that shall we - now I'm admonishing you, only for not entertaining an on topic discussion with actual fruitful discussion - However, if you just want to yell in a vacuum with more nonsense I'll give your childish behavior no further attention.)

Campaign finance- who's yelling?- campaign finance - my childish behavior? -campaign finance- what are you talking about? Just because you add two words to your reply doesn't make it on topic. -campaign finance-.

I just donated $25 and figured I'd let you all know. I smile every time a Liberal is outraged. You know who I'll be voting for in 2020!

 

[canelodirecto]

The irony of it all is all the dum asses that are donating to his campaing are paying to get raped in the A-hole once the disaster that the orange menace is creating in the economy when it finally blows up. Then you'll see them begging to find a job while Trump enjoys a stay at one of his hotels off shore enjoying all the money he stole and made while being a fake president

Donald Trump, very hated guy, but smashes Obama’s record, more then doubling it.

So how did a very hated guy with Impeachment talk going on right now who apparently is doing poorly in Polling numbers do this? Is there an unaccounted for support not in data?

And what does this mean, bad news or good depending on your political affiliation?

It just means corporations and special interests are all in and are gonna make it rain for him. go figure.

Also while money does play a role it may not mean a political win in the long run. Jeb bush spent mad money last time around and did not do well all around. Time will tell.

why would that bother anyone? its your money. *tongue in cheek* why dont you donate more? That will really show us.

My guess is that the rich elite is all too happy with their tax cuts.

A lot of his donations are also coming from people that are fighting against impeachment. Impeachment talk has got his base riled up.

There are many studies that the president that raises the most money are ones that win elections. Noam Chomsky has many talks about this.

About from what I'm getting a little over 90% of the time. Jeb Bush must've been in the less then 10%.

True but a breakdown of where the money is coming from would be better information.

Again I am not too worried about the money spent. There already some billionaires that have gone on record that have pledged warchests to the campaigning of whoever ends up being the democratic nominee as well. Add to the fact that if the democrats get a populist as a final candidate you will see their personal amounts raised as well. Remember whats the point of throwing money at this time if you dont know who your guy/gal is going to be? As a matter of fact this may be one of the campaigns with the most money spent in history. Citizens united. YAY!*

*sarcasm for any incoming Maroon.

Maybe but would it really matter in the end? Its overall who makes the most regard less of who it came from. Rich people can buy their presidents in.
Democrat donations are too spread out, there's so many candidates, this might be a negative for them in a who can raise the most contest.

Most likely Biden is their Democrat of choice for who they will donate too. Other anti establishment candidates not so much.

for a clearer picture:

https://www.dcreport.org/2019/09/13/democrats-amass-a-300-million-war-chest-to-fight-each-other/

300 millions among all the candidates and thats just round 1. once the nominee goes in expect the amounts to go nuts (for both sides, really)

Also Bidens numbers are slipping. We may get Warren. (I am a Bernie guy, but at this point its early to know anyways)

P.S. thank you for the honest discourse, @SG854 this is a breath of fresh air in comparison to as the discussions as of late.

Numbers are always slipping.

All I know is next election is going to be Ape Shit. All this build up and boom.

Does anyone have on hand what the combined efforts of the democratic primary are in Q3? I found this in an image search on NYT but its behind a subscription. So I'm not going to bother linking the site. I couldn't find anything on Biden or Warren Q3. I guess I can link their Q2...

$21.5 million - Biden Q2

$19.1 million - Warren Q2.

Also isn't that RNC and Trump. So is that for every congressional and Trump? Anyone have more information?

If Q2 biden and Warren were similar to Q3 and you add all the other Q3 raising of the candidates listed above we are at 114.7 million. This isn't that big of a gap. I'll keep an eye out for the official Q3 for other candidates.

I intended to update this when I found out the Q3 numbers to Biden and Warren

Biden - Q2 = 21.5
Q3= 15.2
Warren - Q2 = 19.1
Q3= 24.6

It looks like Biden has tapped out on his high dollar donors. He might get a small upswell in donations due to current press coverage but it could be argued that this publicity is more harmful than good.

EDIT: Yesterday I tried to edit this on my phone and the changes must never have saved. Anyways info is available for those who are interested.

 

[J-Machine]

all those small donations are proof of Argumentum ad populum in the polls. tbf the left had been very systematic in attacking those outside their group so of course the majority of right leaning people are gonna shut up and hide their views and wait till its time to vote to privately share their view. It's also why we get baiters like moron voran thriving on social media.

those on the left did this and they should feel ashamed of being such hateful man children but i guess the backfire effect is karma enough to show hate isn't gonna make you win.

 

[Taleweaver]

I... Don't really know how to bring it without sounding like a whiny leftist, but meh...

Ahem... Sounds like you'll need to subtract about 325,000 dollars of that amount because it came from foreign influence.

Yeah... GG, guys. I knew that if I made a pun about it earlier, I'd get even more miles, and equally even more Republicans would insist that such a thing would never happen.
... But here we are : your fucking president has learned NOTHING from the Mueller investigation. How does it feel, eh? Trump flat out sells the US presidency for the highest bidder (because unfortunately @SG854 is all too right : money buys presidencies because there's always some dumbasses that vote based on commercials rather than the news.
