Trump raised more Small Donation money in ONE MONTH than Hillary Clinton did in the ENTIRE 2016 GENERAL.


This... isn't even remotely true. It's not true if you quantify small-dollar donations the way they're usually tabulated ($200), or even by $100.

The only chance Trump would have to beat Clinton in small-dollar donations would be in a month:month comparison, because he has to rely on the inefficient and expensive practice of direct mail that can bring in a lot of very small donations. Even still, his average monthly donation last month was $61; Clinton's was $50.

You're delusional with regards to the well being of the average worker or the cash flows of our state.


YEAHNO, but this brings us back to: if something I wrote was "half true" or flawed in any way then you'd actually be able to demonstrate that -- you can't, because you don't know how to discuss this subject matter in a way that's grounded in fact. That's what makes challenging me on something a particularly stupid exercise, no matter how much you might happen to disagree with what I say.

The previous Corzine embezzled and lost nearly all of the pension money by investing it in shady places. Nothing that Christie did was even close to as bad. He's flawed, don't get me wrong.

Trumper got $60 mil in small time donations this month. Opensecrets says Hillary got 60 mil total for the year so far.

No, I just know how to check a source before I cite it so that I don't say something embarrassingly stupid:

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/candidate.php?id=N00000019

ETA: Oh, never mind, I just saw that you were using a useless metric that means nothing instead of just being deluded, my mistake.

Though it also shows Trump having raised under 2/3rds that, soooooo

http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-trails-hillary-clintons-funds-by-50-million-1473307430

"In August, Mr. Trump raised $70 million in small donations for his campaign and a joint party fund, in addition to $18 million in larger donations for a second joint fund."

I think we're both interpreting these sources wrong somehow. Not sure when the date cutoffs are.

No, you're interpreting them wrong because you're a mouthbreather who listens to whatever his echo chamber tells him. I understand just fine that the numbers don't include August and thus it's a completely worthless comparison.

What are Clinton's small donations for August then?

All the sites I saw hid the details.

I'm pretty sure your best bet is to make pointless assertions about it without doing any actual research.

President Trump's thread has 7699 replies.

I do believe the criminal hildebeast threat hasn't even broke 1k.

Guess that means President Trump is so much more popular.
