OMG I just got a call to re elect MF45

I live in SF and have NEVER answered an email or given my number out. It said I need to contribute to re elect MF 45 and defeat the Democrats. It was such a loud phone call. I was hoping it would repeat so I could have recorded it. Press 1 to contribute Pres 9 to be put on the do not call list. I couldn’t press 9 quick enough.

I guess my demographics of being a certain age, still having a landline and homeowner in a good part of the city got me on a list.

Trump's campaign people are simply taking his money at this point, with no expectation of winning.

The calls keep coming because they are calling from different numbers but the caller-id always shows NRCC with a 202 area code. The number they are calling has been a part of this Democratic household for decades.

The number was my local 415 area code.

I usually block unknown numbers but I had an important call I was waiting for and thought it was that person.
