CNN and MSNBC got Trump elected last time, not cash. Nice group of people they are, they're going to do it again!

Why is raising money in a political campaign ever a good thing?



Seriously. Anyone that advocates for it is an idiot.

Incorrect. We pay for all the flights to and from his stupid rallies because he should be at the White House most of the time.

Trump pays for his attorney fees from the campaign donations for all their services they provide.

No, not incorrect.


"all our money he has wasted on his rallies" is a direct quote from that post of yours.



Paying for the flights, isn't part of paying for the rallies. If it was, then Trump would have to comply with the government rules re who to let into the rallies, and he doesn't have to comply because the campaign is paying for all expenses that are considered part of the rallies.



Any POTUS makes his/her own schedule, and the government pays for his travel/the expenses re the aircraft and vehicles they designate for him or her, no matter where he or she goes, no matter who likes it or doesn't.


By writing "all our money he has wasted on his stupid rallies", phrasing it that way, it was obvious that you didn't know that the campaign pays for the rallies.


You'd rather he stay put at the White House because, among possibly other reasons, you don't like him. I don't like him either (and I would never vote for him), but I realize that he has a right to set his schedule and fly wherever he wants to, as Obama did. If people dislike where he decides to go to enough of a degree, perhaps that will influence such people to not vote for him in 2020.

You know what you find by the 99? Farming country - so no liberals, feces, typhoid, rats, or bubonic plague, but still over run by illegals.

However, you know how these lefties like to gloat about "5th largest economy" blah, blah, blah? Guess where much of that comes from? Those very people along the 99 that the snobs spit on. They take credit for what the farmers produce, but then trash on these crop growers, as if those in the farming areas are beneath them. Don't you just love liberals and their hypocrisy?

2020 Vision Wednesday: Trump raised $15 million in California in one day. That should worry Democrats.
No, he's not going to get impeached and don't underestimate his ability to beat the Democrat. If it's Biden, he's a proven loser like Hillary.
