It's been said before that the Democrats want to get into your bank account and the Republicans are more interested in what's going on in your bedroom. Not so much the case with Trump though. Still, it's rather like choosing between Leopold and Loeb but without the threat of a theocracy looming in the distance.

Then again, this is distraction question. Doesn't address the topic at hand.
Are you going to pretend you didn't read the rest of my post? Of course, you would.

In order to raise money, it's common practice on both sides of the political divide to write fund raising letters designed to scare the hell out of their donors to get them to open up their wallets.

Now that Trump has given up the guise of self-funding, look for Trump acolytes to start sending out appeals for cash promising the Apocalypse that would be wrought on America by a liberal Supreme Court.

That's how the game is played. Find the fear of your base and exploit it.




What other candidate financed their Primary Campaign?

LOL. Nuance escapes them.




"Dead heat" and "tight" are just scare tactics for you libs to not be complacent.

According to Real Clear Politics, this is the popular vote count to date:

Clinton........12,524,845
Sanders.......9,426,517

Clinton........ +3,098,328 votes (+25%)

Claiming that Clinton is beating Sanders is not only false, it isn't even debatable.

Trump can win if Democrats think that they don't need to come out to vote because Hillary has it in the bag. That's the message of that email, regardless of what you read into it.
Hillary is a bag and that is why they are not going to vote for her.

A bag of hot air.

While it is true that Republicans are more interested in what's going on in your bedroom, Democrats don't want to get into your bank account, unless "you" are the top 1%. What Republicans do is cut taxes for the rich, which undercuts revenue that then is made up by cutting programs for the poor and middle class, which then means the middle class ends up paying out-of-pocket for something that used to be provided by the government.

Planned Parenthood is an example of both. Republicans cutting funding means that they want to regulate the bedroom while also forcing PP customers to pay out of their bank accounts.

Before all of this got started the stories were out that Hillary had the vast majority of unelected Delegates already sewn up so don't bother.

The deck was stacked but Sanders has been able to chip away at it still. A guy in an election against a decent candidate doesn't get 4%.

Well, this is an unfortunate acronym for a Pro-Donald SuperPac

Clinton not only has more super-delegates, much more regular delegates and 25% more popular votes.
