While the media gushes over the Trump & Co. political money making machine?
Democrats are holding their own…
Democrats’ digital money machine had its biggest quarter ever to start this year, as online donors poured cash into the presidential primary and helped congressional Democrats build a financial advantage in many of their biggest House and Senate races.
More than 4.3 million donors gave $533 million through ActBlue, the online donor platform used by thousands of Democratic candidates and organizations, in the first three months of 2020. The group announced Monday that the quarter set records across numerous other metrics, too, including sign-ups for ActBlue Express — the feature that saves users’ credit card information, allowing one-click donations to campaigns using the platform.
Democratic presidential candidates accounted for a large portion of the first-quarter fundraising through ActBlue, with Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg bringing in a combined $162 million in January and February alone, per their most recent campaign finance disclosures. Reports covering March are due to the FEC on Monday from the presidential campaigns and ActBlue.
But even taking the presidential candidates out of the equation, Democrats saw a big fundraising jump via ActBlue last quarter — a huge boon to Democratic Senate challengers and House incumbents, after predictions that the presidential campaign would siphon away the online money that powered so many Democratic victors in the 2018 midterm elections….
From the latest WSJ/NBC poll–Biden is leading Trump among whites with a college degree 55-37.
In 2016 whites with college degrees favored Trump 48-45 for Clinton
One term….
Trump is betting on the economy and being able to say HE put people back to work…
He’s all over the place. A few weeks ago he wanted to be the war time President–no doubt thinking the old adage of “don’t change horses in the middle of a stream” might help him in his reelection effort.
Now he’s gone the other way. It’s the big bad Gubment that’s keeping people from working and somehow even though he is the President all the blame goes to the state governors.
He can try that. But in the end a President’s reelection is decided by how people feel about the incumbent’s performance in office and whether Americans lives are better off now than they were four years ago–not the perofrmance of state governors.
Oh, and if they were decided on the latter in the swing state of Michigan a new poll shows Governor Whitmer’s approach has a 20 point advantage over Trump’s. So once those polls sink in look for him to change his course yet again.
By the summer the virus will have subsided….
But the economy will be worst….
Trump IS gonna try his best to get the media to rewrite what has and is going on…Saying HE opened things back up and trying to duck any economic problems….
I hope people do NOT forget so fast….
What “evidence ,”besides the “models” that you’ve told us are no good , do you have that the virus will “subside”in the summer?
You have no idea what effect these “openings” are going to have.
Trump says everything will be ok.
Apparently,you believe him.
Me?Ill wait a little while before making a declaration such as that.
I understand how u feel Jack…
BUT?
Governor’s cannot keep waiting with Trump on their case and more and more protests and warm to HOT weather…
AND…
Their budgets getting blown to pieces….
In New York Jack?
The deaths numbers are 1/3 of what they where a month ago…
The positive test numbers are down 40%….
In New York?
The virus infections ARE subsiding ….
Even here Cuomo has started to SLOWLY bring down virus restrictions…
You quoting Trump IS a joke right?
The problem is going to be the worst states starting out ARE slowing…
The doubting state’s…
Which are much smaller numbers ARE gonna be where the infections continue …
The calls are up to the Governor’s…
And I notice yours seemed to believe Trump…
We’ll see Jack…
But the pressure IS ON the governor’s…
And not all of it is from Trump…
Texas and Florida hardly count as small states. In fact now (sorry 4th-place Empire State), they’re the 2nd and 3rd most populous states in the U.S.
I have no idea what this is all about?
Has nothing to do with my simple comment that your statement,”By the summer the virus will have subsided” has no basis in fact.
Even the experts don’t know that .
Certainly, you and Donald Trump Dont,
