Trump campaign says it raised $46 million in fourth quarter, dwarfing Democrats' hauls
Source: CNBC
By Elly Cosgrove,
President Donald Trumps campaign announced Thursday that it raised $46 million in the final quarter of 2019, as the Republican cashed in while he was being impeached by the Democratic-led House of Representatives.
Trumps total in the final three months of 2019 is far bigger than any quarterly total announced so far by any Democratic candidate.
It also marks the best fundraising quarter for Trumps reelection bid, according to a press release. The campaign also said it had $102.7 million in cash on hand heading into 2020.
President Trumps unprecedented fundraising is testament to his wide grassroots support and his stellar record of achievement on behalf of the American people, said Brad Parscale, Trumps campaign manager.

(6,110 posts)hello president Bloomberg! He is far richer than any of the candidates, including Trump.
But that is not how it works, we don't have president Rockefeller or Perot.

(6,377 posts)Yes, because he's the only Republican candidate. We have several Democratic candidates. If you combine all the money they raised with what Trump did, it's much closer.
I read in another thread that Bernie raised 34 million and Mayor Pete raised 25. That alone is 59 million, and that doesn't even count what Biden Warren and Yang brought in.

The usual croc.

WASHINGTON (AP) Federal judges are taking up the challenge to educate Americans about how their government works at a time when false information can spread instantaneously on social media, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote Tuesday in his annual year-end report.
With the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump looming, Roberts, who will preside over the trial in the Senate, focused on the independence of the judiciary and the role of judges in promoting civic education in the United States.
In our age, when social media can instantly spread rumor and false information on a grand scale, the publics need to understand our government, and the protections it provides, is ever more vital,? Roberts wrote.
Judges must continue promoting public confidence in the judiciary, through their rulings and civic outreach, he said.

(2,657 posts)Big, fat hair deal:
--Bernie brought in $34.5 Million
--Pete brought in $24.7 Million
Just the combined total of those two is $59.2 Million. Trump is a Chump. Add in all of the other money being spent on the Democratic side and they blow Trump out of the water. Hahahahaha!

(26,757 posts)Not only do our higher totals (split many ways) soak up a large portion of Democrats' available funds for campaign support... those funds are largely spent against each other. Trump gets to spend his dollars entirely on his own reelection (while technically "running for the nomination" . General election funds don't start taking hits until after the convention. Even after our (July) convention, he'll have several weeks of "primary" spending - while our eventual nominee will be eating his/her general election dollars.
Outside funding for independent messaging/GOTV/etc. will be critical.

(42,759 posts)Trump raised $46 million. The top five Democratic candidates raised over $112 million. Comparing fundraising where there is a single candidate on one side and at least five on the other is a silly comparison.

(5,801 posts)Of course the oligarchy wants to prop up red don. He's awfully good for their offshore bank accounts.
And of course the headline should be that combined Dems raised much more money than red don.
And of course money raised shouldn't be a measure of political viability in most cases (but in the present-day system of buying teevee ads, it is).

(21,664 posts)It's no secret Big Business prefers them, like they've prefered any number of fascist parties over the last 100 years.
The irony here is that business does better under Democrats, generally, than under the GOP.
But Republicans know how to sing their tune better than we do - and they're more willing to bribe them by way of tax cuts. It's a question of ego, really.

(8,758 posts)There is only one Republican on the ticket: Trump. The Dems have a bunch. Which if you are counting each candidate alone, yes but sum up all the Democrats? With Sanders, Mayor Pete and Yang alone, more people donated more money than Trump raised. Also missing from this is how much the DNC pulled in.

Head-to-head, Dem vs Republican, I bet the Ds out raised the Rs.

(12,422 posts)If you factor all Democrats the haul would be over a 100 million hauled in 4q....
So the headline is Democrats haul in over 100 million in campaign cash!
But no, our poopoo ing headline says the Con hauls in more....BULLSHIT
