[h=6]- AUGUST 03, 2016 -[/h][h=1]GRASSROOTS SUPPORT POWERS TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH SMALL DOLLAR DONATIONS[/h]Please read the following excerpts from “Fueled By Small Donations, Donald Trump Makes Up Major Financial Ground” by Nick Confessore, The New York Times, 8/3/16
Donald J. Trump all but erased his enormous fundraising disadvantage against Hillary Clinton in the span of just two months, according to figures released by his campaign on Tuesday, converting the passion of his core followers into a flood of small donations on a scale rarely seen in national politics.
Mr. Trump and the Republican National Committee raised $64 million through a joint digital and direct mail effort in July, according to his campaign, the bulk of it from small donations. All told, Mr. Trump and his party brought in $82 million last month, only slightly behind Mrs. Clinton, and ended with an enormous pool of $74 million in cash on hand, suggesting he might now have the resources to compete with Mrs. Clinton in the closing stretch of the campaign.
The figures mark a major achievement in Mr. Trump’s campaign, which until recent months was largely funded by a trickle of hat and T-shirt sales and by Mr. Trump’s wallet. And they suggest Mr. Trump has the potential to be the first Republican nominee whose campaign could be financed chiefly by grass-roots supporters pitching in $10 or $25 apiece, echoing the unprecedented success of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont during the Democratic presidential primary.
Mrs. Clinton has “been doing this for 20 years,” said Steven Mnuchin, a New York investor who serves as Mr. Trump’s finance chairman. “We’ve been doing it for two months.”
…
But the campaign’s figures suggest that after months of dithering and false starts, Mr. Trump has begun to exploit an opportunity that many Republicans have long viewed as his for the taking: marrying his powerful credibility among grass-roots Republicans with the high-tech tools of large-scale digital fund-raising. During July 2012, for example, Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee reported raising a total of just $19 million from contributions of less than $200.
“There was always that potential, but you didn’t have candidates who were as uniquely positioned in the same way that Trump is,” said Patrick Ruffini, a Republican strategist who ran digital fund-raising at the Republican National Committee under President George W. Bush.

Clint Eastwood: 'I’d have to go for Trump'

He isn’t breaking out his chair again, but Clint Eastwood has something to say about this election.
Trump racked up support from the actor and director, though not an official endorsement. Eastwood told Esquire that if he had to pick between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, “I’d have to go for Trump."
He continued, criticizing Hillary Clinton, “You know, 'cause she's declared that she's gonna follow in Obama's footsteps. There's been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle. She's made a lot of dough out of being a politician."
Eastwood is no stranger to politics. He made headlines for interviewing an empty chair representing President Obama during the 2012 Republican National Convention and even served as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
As for Trump’s controversial campaign?
“He's just saying what's on his mind,” Eastwood told Esquire. "And sometimes it's not so good. And sometimes it's … I mean, I can understand where he's coming from, but I don't always agree with it."
Eastwood says that Trump’s candidness is refreshing.
“Secretly everybody's getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That's the kiss-ass generation we're in right now,” he told Esquire. "Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren't called racist."
Eastwood then brought up one of the more controversial moments in Trump's campaign.
Trump criticizes a federal judge hearing a fraud lawsuit against the now-shuttered Trump University, saying his "Mexican heritage" makes him biased against a candidate who has criticized illegal immigration from Mexico.
"You know, he's a racist now because he's talked about this judge," Eastwood said. "And yeah, it's a dumb thing to say. I mean, to predicate your opinion on the fact that the guy was born to Mexican parents or something. He's said a lot of dumb things. So have all of them. Both sides. But everybody—the press and everybody's going, 'Oh, well, that's racist,' and they're making a big hoodoo out of it."
If Clint Eastwood had to write a stump speech for this election? "Knock it off. Knock everything off."

Trump has NO dementia: White House doctor says president had a perfect 30/30 score on cognitive screening test that Trump REQUESTED
- White House has been beset with claims that the president is mentally impaired
- Charges were leveled in 'Fire and Fury' book by author who says most of Trump's close aides fear he's not mentally capable to be president
- Navy doctor Ronny Jackson examined Trump on Friday and added a cognitive screening test to the regimen because the president asked him to
- Trump scored perfect 30 out of 30 on the test, ruling out Alzheimer's Disease or other cognitive impairment
- Jackson said this was the first time a sitting president has been given such a cognitive examination

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's IMPOSSIBLE you're that fucking stupid. The first doctor's report misspelled the doctor's name, you fucking moron!!!!! You'll pardon me if all subsequent reports from this "doctor" are to instantly disregarded. SOMETHING TO SAY, YOU BLUBBERY BELLIED, LYING PILE OF SHIT????? Where's the post where I wished death on Twittler, you steaming turd????

[h=1]It Sure Does Look Like The Doctor’s Note On Trump’s Health Is Fake (IMAGES)[/h] By
Conover -January 13, 2018
n a statement, the White House physician pronounced Donald Trump to be in “excellent health” then misspelled his own name. It was signed ‘Dr. Ronnie Jackson’ instead of Ronny Jackson, MD, FAAEM. The statement said that the exam went “exceptionally well” and added that the 71-year-old former reality show star is “in excellent health.” It almost feels as if the note was written by Trump’s personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, who declared in 2016 that Trump “will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”
Can you find any anti-democrat or non-biased stories on that website?
Front page is loaded with stories calling people "Racist", conservatives racist, everyone non-liberal racist... then a few stories about how Trump is crazy and needs impeachment, and how millions are dying because of Republicans.
Doesnt seem like a legitimate news source lol
The "doctor's report" with the misspelling of his name was released to the press, you fucking idiot, do you ever actually READ sources once you see who the article is by? Oh, yeah, you read that all the Twittler accusers were Democrats, and you gobbled up that 16,000 to 1 shot, and you read that the Gold Star widow attacked the Congresswoman who ripped Rump, and you lapped up THAT story like a hungry dog, too, Fucking moron...
I never read the accusers were democrats, I took a stab and assumed they all were, and the gold star was a tweet... Whats even more funny, is when I found out I was wrong, I admitted it immediately. Thats the difference between you and I... when you are wrong you ingore what you said completely and abandon your thread...
Remember Ben Carson and his license? How about all your Trump taking it in the Rump on election day threads? Or the dozens of others you just hope go away and no one ever brings up again.
At least use a credible news source
BTW how does that taxpayer meal taste today? Are you comfortable sitting in the home that was taken from an 87yo Veteran? Working on your new frivolous lawsuit yet?? Dont forget to file as a PAUPER so you can do it for free.... since you told the judge you only have $1000 a month in income
You "took a stab" at a 16,000 to 1 shot, which makes you a moron, and you took a right wing tweet as gospel, and posted it, despite considerable circumstantial evidence(that the Congresswoman was a friend of the families for MANY years plus they were in agreement every step of the way that Twittler was a lying toad, as usual) that the tweet was fake, so that AGAIN makes you a moron. YOU claim the source isn't credible because you don't agree with their politics, despite the fact that The story is TRUE, fuckwad, which-one more time-makes you a moron.
Can you show me WHERE I posted the tweet... or did you mean I quoted it.
So what does that say about someone who believed every state in the US revoked Ben Carsons license?
Also Journalism shouldnt be biased and no one should have to worry about their politics, because BASIC JOURNALISM is supposed to be about facts and the 5 W's... no biased and no opinionated journalism.
And you never once in these forums called out a story because it came from a news source you didnt agree with? Hahahaha I bet I could find more than 1 example of you doing that.
