Damn, tRump's campaign raised more money then all Dems in Wisconsin

Wisconsin donors to the 2020 presidential campaigns emptied their pockets most for President Donald Trump, according to filings for second-quarter itemized contributions.

Trump’s campaign received $243,175 in itemized contributions, donations that exceed $200, from Wisconsinites in the second quarter. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s campaign raised $73,466 in the second quarter, the second largest sum from Wisconsinites. She was followed by Democratic presidential candidates Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders, who raised $43,031 and $42,099 in the second quarter, respectively. Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s campaign raised $36,705 in the second quarter, the sixth largest sum.

Trump money just doesn't go as far. He has to keep so much of it for himself.

only way to beat this monster, GOP election fraud & MSM's support is to get enough of the 90 million voters that sat out the last election to vote.

8. Getting "enough of the 90 million voters" in itself is insufficient...

...what is critical is where those voters live. If we turn out a lot more inactive voters in California, New York, or Massachusetts, all that will do will be to have an even bigger gulf between the popular and electoral vote, with the same eventual result.

Remember, all else being equal, unless we can "flip" a big red state or two this time, we need to recapture all of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Take two out of the three...you still get four more years of Trump.

Given that, seeing Wisconsin written off as just another "red" state is a sure way to lose again.

6. Per your link, for Q1 & Q2, Trump got $402,544, Dems got $371,810. Pretty comparable.

And the contributions to the Dems were for the primary race, which most people don't contribute much to, since it is seen as money to fight other Dems. When a Dem presidential candidate finally is picked or becomes the unassailable front-runner, their donations will go way up, as donors will consider it money to fight Trump.

By the way, sorry to be a grammar/spelling Nazi, be it should be "raised more money THAN all Dems in Wisconsin."

Unless it is to defeat someone like a Lepinski.

That we are that close to Trump with a lot of our people being neutral should scare republicans shitless.
