by Axios | 10.15.19

President Trump's re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee said they raised $125 million in the third quarter of 2019 on Tuesday, setting a new presidential fundraising record, with $158 million combined cash on hand.

Context: Former President Obama and the Democratic National Committee raised approximately $70 million for his re-election campaign in 2011's third quarter. \"Trump is going to have more resources to deploy earlier and more aggressively than any candidate in history,\" Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to Obama, tweeted in response to the news on Oct. 1, when the campaign first announced the haul.

Trump's re-election campaign said it received 1,056,126 individual donations in Q3, of which roughly 98% were $200 or less, and an average donation of $44.50.

The big picture: Sen. Bernie Sanders thus far leads all 2020 Democrats in Q3 fundraising, with a $25.3 million haul and $33.7 million cash in hand.

\nSen. Bernie Sanders: $25.3 million
\nSen. Elizabeth Warren: $24.6 million
\nMayor Pete Buttigieg: $19.1 million
\nFormer Vice President Joe Biden: $15.2 million
\nSen. Kamala Harris: $11.6 million

Won’t listen to slogans, chanted mantras or generally any kind of marketing spin or “rebranding” crap. I firmly believe that everyone else is entitled to their erroneous opinions. Citizen vigilance and due diligence is price we must pay to live in a thriving, functional democracy.\nI fear that our citizens are too easily swayed by politician’s pablum about “babies”, “jobs” and now, in particular, perceived “enemies”. I fear that a citizenry focused on the “here-and-now” is easily tricked by short term benefits that have negative long-term consequences. I fear that our legislators are more concerned about buffing their constituents than looking out for the long-term welfare of our country- and are way too eager to provide those short-term benefits to the “here-and-now” crowd.\nI fear that honor is generally being sacrificed/replaced by expediency. I hear politicians eloquently argue for one side of an issue and later, when it’s to their benefit, just as eloquently argue for the opposite side. OK, so they are good at arguing- but what is that they actually believe? What is it that they actually stand for? An honorable person has values that persist even when it is not convenient or expedient. An honorable person has a moral compass that stops them from doing something wrong even if it is not illegal. A foul is a foul- even if the referee doesn’t catch you.\nI fear that each of our federal governmental branches have devised or discovered shortcuts which tend to protect them from the checks and balances our founders intended.","twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":"jimk","issue_count":4,"is_following":null,"influence_score":44640,"influence_level":40,"follower_count":1521,"following_count":81,"position_count":539,"id":"9odrQBnb","partner_id":null}],"article_comment":{"flagged":false,"id":1074468,"body":"It’s so disheartening and shameful to know that there is an abundance of willful ignorance and un-Americanism to support this miscreant and the Godless GOP in hopes of personal greed and power at the cost of our democracy.
