Just ask IL Gov. Rauner.If there's any solace to be taken from 2016, it's that a massive fundraising advantage doesn't necessarily pan out when people just don't like you.

It says something about the times we live in that this is exactly where my mind went too.
The money means nothing. Media attention means everything. Sadly our media is shit.If there's any solace to be taken from 2016, it's that a massive fundraising advantage doesn't necessarily pan out when people just don't like you.
Considering I had a friend tell me yesterday he isn't a Trump supporter but said Hillary Clinton would have been worse, I still fear he may get elected a 2nd term.
based on his previous win and the entire state of russia helping him. dems cant compete with russia AND trump.
Hate to be the one to say this..... but I think dude is going to win again. His supporters won't let anything faze them.... so much so that more people will vote for him next election than did last time.
I do na zi what you mean
He barely won despite all the help in the world and a uniquely beatable opponent (and said help making more beatable). What's he gonna do when he can't just go "BUT EMAILS" and get "lock her up" chants? What does he do when faced with a charismatic talker who can take him down verbally? What can he do now that his "unknown" quantity is gone (wherein many voters convinced themselves he'd be a moderate in office, or was gonna be a pro-worker president) and he's exposed as just another uncaring extreme conservative stooge?based on his previous win and the entire state of russia helping him. dems cant compete with russia AND trump.
It vanishes and people act bemused as to where it all went.What happens to this money when he is impeached before the next election?
I'm very happy for you. I hope you think of the 320 million others of us left here to fester.
It's scary that there isn't further scrutiny into these funding campaigns, as one can only imagine what sort of new bag of tricks is being prepared for 2020 with the additional headstart of donations(legal or otherwise).

Cool. I've been busting my ass for the past two years trying to do everything I could to stop this fucking nightmare. I've been canvassing, phone banking, donating, basically treating fighting against all this shit as my second job but after all this shit, after shit like Trump saying Nazis were good people, and the FBI is wrong, and Putin's a good guy, and Kim Jong Un is a great guy, and stealing from the poor to fund his fucking golf trips and thousands of other horrific things he's doing, if ALL THAT isn't enough for people to get off their fucking asses and vote him out in 2020 en masse?
I'm calling it. The nation's lost at that point. I'm not going to be here when he picks six Supreme Court Justices or some shit.
His poll numbers are where HWs and carter's were at this point in their presidencies even with Russian propaganda.based on his previous win and the entire state of russia helping him. dems cant compete with russia AND trump.
Defeatism is strong in posters here.*report of a decent amount of money in his campaign (slush) fund*
"I knew it, he's totally winning re-election!"
JFC, these are some stupid takes.

Because it's the only thing keeping him out of jail right now.Heh, he didn't look like he even wanted to be president now he doesn't want to leave.
Do they even have a remotely believable candidate?Forgive me for asking but why the hell are Dems not coming out to fight. I see next to nothing it in the press and I do try to look. (perhaps in the wrong places)
I have no idea what you are talking about. Fight what? Where? You need specifics.Forgive me for asking but why the hell are Dems not coming out to fight. I see next to nothing it in the press and I do try to look. (perhaps in the wrong places)
So uhm do Dems have a good candidate for 2020? Because if their candidate is weak again Trump will easily win.
