racer254 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 All the liberals here want money out of politics until they realize what would happen to their candidate if they got their way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebsell Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Trump is smart enough to play the media for free airtime. Not to mention he has been on every talkshow and stuff like that doing interviews. That's a shit ton of free publicity. Hillary is to stupid and to lazy to take advantage of it.

Momorider Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I suspect that the Republicans and Trump PACS will saturate the airwaves with negative adds the last 20 days or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been feeling a little too "under the weather" lately to do talk shows, speeches etc. But rest assured she'll have CU overturned if she's elected.

Catalina Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Seems to me that Trump is giving the main stream political types a schooling on how to run a campaign, and do it for small money. Most of us never expected him to go anywhere 18 moths ago, yet here we are. He has broken (or maybe rewritten?) every rule in the book, and may just win. Like him or not, you have to agree that he has gotten to where he is while spending WAY LESS money. Will be interesting to see how both sides run campaigns in the future. He has been able to stay in the game without becoming owned by big oil, big banks, or big anything else. Gotta give him credit for that, like him or not. Maybe in 4 years a more conventional candidate will run using some of his tactics, that might be the best thing that comes out of the last year... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Donald Trump Has Made More From Small Donors Than Any GOP Candidate in History by Valentina Zarya @valzarya SEPTEMBER 19, 2016, 12:49 PM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Linkedin Share icons He’s still lagging behind the Democrats. Donald Trump has broken plenty of rules throughout his campaign, but he has also broken records. According to Politico‘s reporting, which includes an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings, the Trump campaign has possibly already raised $100 million from donors who have given less than $200—more than any other GOP nominee in history. Moreover, the campaign has only been actively soliciting donations for less than three months: Trump signed his first email solicitation for donors on June 21. For comparison, John McCain and Mitt Romney, in 2008 and 2012, respectively, raised less than $64 million in contributions under $200. http://fortune.com/2016/09/19/donald-trump-small-donors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
