An imperfect though telling metric in presidential campaigns is enthusiasm among small donors, those giving $200 or less. It's a rough proxy for enthusiasm among the base, and just as polling shows President Trump receives a more ardent embrace among his base than rival Joe Biden, the individualized money story reflects that as well.
Americans who donate to campaigns are more likely to vote, according to the Pew Research Center. "Among those who say they vote always or nearly always, 21% said that they made a donation, compared with 4% of those who seldom voted or voted only part of the time," the Pew survey found.

That’s material for a good campaign ad: Trump is supported by the little people. Biden is for leftist fat cats like Soros and Steyer.

Over half of Bidens doners self report as being unemployed. Whereas less than 3% of Trumps doners are unemployed.
Something is fishy. Unemployed people dont have disposable income.

Yes, #2! If a person is unemployed where the heck does he get extra money to give away?? I saw those stats somewhere - a policy group noticed the discrepancy and was investigating. Seems an obvious form of money laundering.

Soros, Steyer, Bloomberg and the Hollywood cocktail crowd versus retired small-business owners like me who can scrap together a $50 or $100 donation every month or two to keep the Crazy Crowd from taking over our country and turning us into Venezuela. Wish I could do more. But we must make a pact among ourselves - broken glass in November. Put the mask on, ignore their threats of violence and stand in line as long as it takes to pull that lever (FOR RED ONLY.)

Yes #3, and they have laundered money before so, it is likely they would do it again. I think maybe it was the Clinton's laundering Chinese money.

I made a donation to the Trump campaign and now I can't get rid of the phone calls. Even put my wrong number in the system but they still found me. Kind of pisces me off.

That’s just part of campaigning, #6. I donate as often as I can and I daily receive emails and texts from the Trump campaign. It happens with any candidate. If you donate to one conservative you will receive emails and texts from every conservative candidate you can imagine. I delete most of them but I will send another Benjamin to PDT today.

Commies and Liberals have all the big money. WASPs, not so much but at least we worked for it instead of inheriting it.

I've also donated for the POTUS's reelection. I have received some phone calls but not that many. I HAVE received numerous requests for donations via snail mail. On one day last week I received 11 pieces of mail, 10 of which was from various organizations and congress people asking for additional donations for Trump's reelection. I love the President and will absolutely vote for him but the mountains of mail his campaign and its surrogates are sending out is excessive, I think. However it is so critical that he win that I try not to get too frustrated with it. But if there is a lot now I hate to think about next month.....

There are many large organizations like unions and the butcher shop known as Planned Parenthood that would thrive in a Biden presidency. He his familiar with the old adage, you scratch my back and I'll scratch your whole body including sniff your hair. Biden and his pals would immediately bail out the failing blue cities and states to keep those dim votes counting. It will hurt but I'm sending DJT another donation today.
How is that investigation on his criminal son, Hunter, coming along?

Each American donor has a vote in the General Election, while covert foreign donors are not by law supposed to have a vote. Does that even matter to the leftist and liberal Democrats of this age?
Keeping that in mind, would you rather have 500 small donors or 2 big donors?

I think we make too much of the "UNEMPLOYED" angle. If you list yourself as retired, presumably you are also considered unemployed. Federal law requires you to name your employer. Don't read too much into it.
