The proof is in the pudding. There were a few people on here who didn't know if Trump was to run in 2020. He's running alright and he's running hard.

Nobody knows if Trump is running lady bug....raisiraisingmoney is wtf they do.....don't get me wrong , he may run.

You just never know....he would be an idiot to say he was not running because of something called "lame duck"....look it up.

There is a train of thought that if he hets a Dem controlled House that could drive him nuts or he could start cutting deals and drive folks like you out of his camp.

Botton line....too early to know.

That's true, politicians raise money all the time, and they use it to scare off opponents. Myself, I think he should declare victory after the elections and turn it over to VP Pence.

Trump has done a great job!

Whether he’s running or not is irrelevant. The link points out that the story is Trump has already raised an historic sum of money. His support is strong. Looks like the polls are wrong again.

I was replying to her analysis of the link.....not the link.

She is assuming he is running just because he is raising money. They may or may not be true, she seems to be having a hard tomttime grasping that fact.
That would be like Le'Veon Bell returning to the Steelers and some nit wit fan proclaiming you're going to the Super Bowl ......that may or may not be true

Make no doubt about it -- Trump is running in 2020. As for his unprecedented fundraising:

"A little bit of math shows that in three less months of fundraising, Trump has raked in more than 26.5 times what Obama had raised for his re-election race and 32 times what Bush had raised.

The reason for that massive disparity is simple: Neither Bush nor Obama actively sought to raise money for their re-election campaigns during their first two years in office. Bush collected just $265,000 in individual contributions over those first two years while Obama actually refunded more than $179,000 in individual contributions in his first two years.

Why did they make that decision to hold off on fundraising? One practical reason and one symbolic one.

The practical reason is to not directly compete with the party's candidates for House, Senate and governor -- all of whom are on the ballot in midterm elections. Most donors like giving to the president -- it gives them a feeling of prestige and power that cutting a check to a House or even Senate candidate doesn't. So, when given the option, lots of donors will choose to give to the president rather than to down-ballot races. Sure, there are some contributors who can and will write checks to candidates up and down the ballot. But, it's not all donors -- and the theory is that every dollar a president raises in his first two years in office is money that could have gone to aid his party's fortune in Congress and in governor's mansions around the country.

The symbolic reason past presidents have avoided raising money in their first two years is because they have wanted to send a signal to the country that the campaign is over, they are the president of all the people and they are focused on doing the job to which they were elected not worry about getting reelected immediately. It's the whole there's-a-time-for-campaigning-and-a-time-for-governing thing."

SpeedR....a lot of things can happen between now and then. Trump is a fat old man....and if he loses the House and starts getting investigated properly, he might tire of 'winning'. Lol

Tsmokies · 10-16-2018, 05:13 PM

Lol. If you give the very very rich a very very big tax break they will support you very very well. It's not rocket science people. It's the GOP fucking the middle class. The dumb ones are still bent over taking it in their ass. And loving every minute of it.

It's funny as fuck though. We know the smart women have had enough of the GOP white old men. Nov 6 will tell

puekaw · 10-16-2018, 05:32 PM

Another lost soul, the dems have been fucking the middle class for years, what's amazing is that they make their supporters furnish the gasoline. HERE IS YOUR SIGN

Did you see where the deficit was the highest since the recession when hardly any tax revenues were coming in?

Trump is spending like a drunken sailor and he cut the yaxes on the wealthy and raised them on the moddle class woth those stupid tariffs!
