He can't win a Senate seat in Texas anymore, maybe a House seat in an already blue district... maybe. He'll have to carpetbag if he wants to be in Senate. Lizzy promised him the Sec. Homeland Security position if he drops out. 1

The swell of cash was raised from through 182,000 donations, with an average amount of about $28, according to figures provided to The Associated Press by Biden’s presidential campaign. He's gonna need it if he stays in. I'll be curious to see the Bernie and Warren numbers. I know Trump raised $19M in October, so we "should" start seeing those three combine to close to that (still a few more stragglers left in the race, so maybe not quite yet). 1 1

That's a sad amount.

I can't tell you the last time I saw so much dancing on a political grave. And it is a grave as he's not getting elected to anything in Texas. That gun confiscation stance has made him un-electable there. He'll probably carpetbag to NYS. 4

Trump's getting plenty of big money and obviously will because that's what drives the Republican party. How much of his money is from small dollar donations? $5.3 million from 182,000 individual donations less than $30 on average is likely a much different path than Trump is taking to get his money. And yes, I think that really, really matters.

In spite of liberal beliefs, Americans don't like fakes. They don't like fake injuns. They don't like fake woman of color. And they don't like fake Latinos with faked names.

May? that or there are going to be no articles of impeachment recommended... 1

I googled it and it's oddly difficult to pin down and it seems like there's some variance in numbers. The couple I found look like Dems are vastly outraising Trump in small donors less than $200 per donation... like 40% vs 15%. So if you have a link, I'd appreciate it

It may be time consuming to go through, but the information is not difficult to find. It is in that thread. Well color me skeptical then. Time is something I don't have if it takes time to find it. Here's what I found: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-fundraising-q3/ Comparing the parties in 2019 so far The Democratic Party is putting a lot of weight on grassroots fundraising this election cycle. That’s in part because of ActBlue, an online Democratic fundraising tool that has raised over $3 billion for the party by helping to fuel a surge of small-dollar donations.1 When the Democratic National Committee made fundraising a criterion in determining which candidates qualify for the party’s first debates, it specified a minimum number of donors per candidate but not a minimum dollar number, prioritizing candidates who could demonstrate broad national support even if their fundraising totals were relatively low.2 No one is doing better with small donors than Bernie Sanders, who raised $43.0 million, or 57.8 percent of his total, from donors who gave $200 or less.3 Overall this year, 40.1 percent of Democrats’ funding came from small donors. For Trump, 15.2 percent of his total haul came from people who gave less than $200. Here’s the breakdown for all the Democrats as a group and for Trump on his own for the first, second and third quarters. What follows that excerpt is a chart that I can't copy and past that shows that for Trump, 15.2% of his money from the first 3 quarters is from small donors, 15.8% is from big donors, 67.8% is from transfers and 1.1% is "other" By contrast, for Dems 40.1% is small donors, 36.3% is big donors, 7.7% is transfers and 15.6% is "self funding," which is Steyer, I'm guessing. But again I'd be curious to see what you cited... legitimately. I'm not trying to call you out here, but with all due respect, I got absolutely slammed on here by some idiot for not linking a site when I posted something I claimed was a fact. I was told that's not how it's done here.
