That was before the campaign spent $160 million in October on ad buys
The most recent federal campaign finance records available showed the Trump campaign with $60 million cash-on-hand at the beginning of October. The campaign would go on to spend upwards of $160 million on television ads in the final month before the election.
Dropped to 68%. Prob didnt go any lower because Dem leaders QUICKLY conceded the election and worked with the Trump administration for a transfer of power.
fast forward and republicans dropped to 44%. Less then half! Because Republican leaders decided they didnt give two â â â â â about America and the long term effects. All they cared about was to rev up their base and convince their voters that they didnt really lose.
The parties are NOT the same. One was disappointed in the results and moved on.
The other is doing long term damage to the credibility of the entire American system of elections and doesnât care about the long term effects.
Was waiting for that.
1st -I never supported it. Most Dems didnt support her claims. And her focus was mostly around making it harder to vote, not state officials, poll workers, and ballots counters were actively participating in fraud.
Even still -Republicans RAILED on her for baseless claims. But now - They support it?
I have No issue with Trump screaming Fraud. We knew he would, and he âŚwell âŚhe lies. It doesnt matter. He is weeks away from being irreverent.
What is Dangerous is Republican leaders, Elected leaders, echoing it.
Doesnât matter how many false equivalents you try to make.
Never in modern history has a major parties elected leaders try to delegitimize a national election by feeding rumorâs of mass fraud, among multiplie states, involving thousands of poll watchers, poll workers, ballots counters, and elected leaders - even from their own party.
Indeed, such prominent Democrats as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Sherrod Brown of Ohio declared that the only way Ms. Abrams could have lost the election was if she had been cheated. They didnât change their position after the election was called in favor of Republican Brian Kemp.
and what were your thoughts on that? did you think âHmm -We shouldnt jump to conclusions. It was a super close race. Iâll wait until i hear the evidence?â or did you think âThats BS and a dangerous road to go down!?â
I know what my reaction was. And that was 1 states with a few hundred votes where most Dem leaders did NOT support (Anything from Nancy or Chuck you want to show me??).
Again - compared to the accusations people like Mitch is encouraging now. Multiplie states, thousands of workers, dozens of elected officials, ACTIVELY cheating.
And to suggest that Trump is raising cash for anything other than to build up a war chest to finance the cost of contesting the general election is ridiculous.
The fine print is the campaign telling us what theyâre spending the money on.
As has been pointed out we donât know where the campaign stands right now. It appeared flush with cash at the beginning of October but spend $160 M in just ad buys that month.
