08-14-2019- Democrats, The Party Of The Rich- Trump campaign's small-dollar donations surge, marking major shift for GOP
We've heard it all Before. The party of the rich. Against the Joe Bag of Donuts. The Country Club Crowd. Ladies and Gentleman I present to you the Democrat candidates of 2020. WHAT? You heard me, the Democrats. How could that be? Trump the billionaire, the champion of the little guy? Republicans, big money, rich donors. Look at President Trumps numbers. This from Maxim Lott FOX.
Sixty-one percent of money raised directly by the Trump campaign this election cycle came from small donors (donations under $200), according to Federal Election Commission figures.
And now the Democrats.
Those figures vary significantly from candidate to candidate, however, with Sen. Cory Booker getting just 21 percent from small donors, former Vice President Joe Biden getting 38 percent and Sen. Kamala Harris getting 41 percent. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg has 49 percent from small donors, with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard at 61 percent, tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang and Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 67 percent, and Sen. Bernie Sanders at 77 percent (the most). In last place is New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who got 9 percent of his individual contributions from small donors.
So you tell me, who is the little guy mostly supporting?
