7. Sometimes you get a big boost in fundraising because something good happened.

Jul 2024

President Biden got a boost right after he nailed the State of the Union, for example.

The boost after the debate felt like it was more born out of desperation and worry.

" four sources close to the re-election effort." who also happen to work on putins troll farm. nt ImNotGod Jul 2024 #3

You have evidence for that? brooklynite Jul 2024 #6

Well .. FarPoint Jul 2024 #35

The campaign needs close to a billion dollars for the campaign. brooklynite Jul 2024 #41

They are doing just fine...we will support Biden FarPoint Jul 2024 #63

And now you have identified the root cause of all our problems Grolph_ Jul 2024 #86

Fucking classic! FHRRK Jul 2024 #87

Yes, "un-named" sources say that while the campaign itself says something very different... Think. Again. Jul 2024 #68

However, Trump outraised Biden in the second quarter: Music Man Jul 2024 #100

That maybe so... sheshe2 Jul 2024 #111

That article does not contradict the OP hardluck Jul 2024 #108

When was the last time you posted a positive post Emile Jul 2024 #4

Thanks Emile Jul 2024 #75

I'm just amazed at so many long posts in such a short period of time jmbar2 Jul 2024 #78

So we should choose our nominee for President based on a poll of donors? Jersey Devil Jul 2024 #5

Did somebody say that? brooklynite Jul 2024 #12

Well, all your posts seem to be suggesting that Biden should withdraw so what other conclusion can there be Jersey Devil Jul 2024 #24

I don't think my posts suggest anything. brooklynite Jul 2024 #33

Breathlessly declaring a "disaster" is what started this whole mess to begin with Jersey Devil Jul 2024 #42

Yeap.... FarPoint Jul 2024 #57

Sometimes you get a big boost in fundraising because something good happened. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #7

NO. The boost after the debate was born of commitment to the candidate! nt Trueblue Texan Jul 2024 #105

Maybe Joe should commit some felonies. LuvLoogie Jul 2024 #8

In the next debate, he should refuse to answer the questions. kerry-is-my-prez Jul 2024 #112

thank gosh for anonymous people, NBC would wither away if it had to actually name sources nt msongs Jul 2024 #9

Nobody seemed to care when anonymous sources spill the beans on the Trump White House. brooklynite Jul 2024 #14

We also have elite newspapers like the Times making journo 101 errors. shrike3 Jul 2024 #25

Got Hillary in there. Good job. shrike3 Jul 2024 #10

Why yes, yes they did. sheshe2 Jul 2024 #118

When in doubt, slam Hillary. shrike3 Jul 2024 #123

So...what's the solution? Blaukraut Jul 2024 #13

If Biden to withdraw, the new candidate will have to collect his own funds. LisaL Jul 2024 #15

Could Biden turn those funds over to the new nominee? Blaukraut Jul 2024 #21

Nope. Unless its Harris, all that money goes back to the donors. shrike3 Jul 2024 #26

And if they step over Biden and Kamala, they might as well give the Trump keys to the White House right now, LisaL Jul 2024 #46

Yep. But the PTB know so much better than us peons. shrike3 Jul 2024 #48

They will get their tax cuts if Trump is elected. LisaL Jul 2024 #50

I guess the simplest answer is usually the correct one. shrike3 Jul 2024 #51

False. Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #62

Different than everything I've read, from reputable sources. It goes back to donors, who can then redonate shrike3 Jul 2024 #88

Well, you made the initial assertion, so show your work Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #89

Here ya go. NBC okay? shrike3 Jul 2024 #91

From your link: Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #92

Um -- you know a superpac is not a candidate, right? shrike3 Jul 2024 #95

You claimed the Biden-Harris campaign *must* return donations to donors Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #97

its not that you have to return the money to donors if the campaign ends... brooklynite Jul 2024 #99

Okey-dokey. And here I thought you said Biden could just give the money to the next candidate. shrike3 Jul 2024 #124

If he's going to continue as the nominee... brooklynite Jul 2024 #17

He actually doesn't need to do anything. LisaL Jul 2024 #22

Not the issue... brooklynite Jul 2024 #28

Here, I will agree. shrike3 Jul 2024 #30

And would it have done any good to switch out Bernie for Hillary? LeftInTX Jul 2024 #66

I - again - am not saying Biden should be replaced. brooklynite Jul 2024 #69

So says the "Party line" choie Jul 2024 #103

What more can he do, though? Blaukraut Jul 2024 #45

He has to sit down with them directly. brooklynite Jul 2024 #47

Doesn't Joe have a press conference tomorrow? Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #49

Will it help? Yes. Will it be a BIG help? I don't know. brooklynite Jul 2024 #53

Thank you n/t Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #54
