I got a call from the Trump Campaign for President 2020 on my cell phone.

John Whitmore asked me if I would be willing to donate and pledge my support to Make America Great Again and President Donald Trump.

I told him absolutely NOT. I would never support that piece of shit or give him one fucking penny and to never fucking call me again.

He responds:

“I understand.” Then hung up.

How the fuck did they get my number?

(yeah, of course, I'm on the now worthless no-call list).. I don't answer any of them and less than a handful ever leave voicemails.

I tend to google many of them and have found that over the past several weeks a very large number were from the NRA! Obviously, I'm as likely to give them one red cent as I would the Trump campaign, but I have no desire to answer.

...for a one-questions survey:

"Do you believe President Trump is doing a better job than President Obama?"

I immediately answered, "Oh HELL No!" which showed considerable restraint on my part, because I wanted to use saltier language.

Anyway, that answer showed the caller I wasn't outreach material, so he began reading a line like "Please feel free to visit our website..."

But I cut him off to say "Not likely. Goodbye" and then hung up.

Smart money says the GOPers aren't having as much luck convincing Dems to #WalkAway as they hoped.

I get 4 - 6 a *day*. Most appear to be from local cell numbers. I’m considering antisocial behavior.
