Found in r/PoliticalHumor from r/BetterEveryLoop

There is some interesting info on this site (which seems legit). How or where do you get to see a breakdown of the individual donations that each candidate gets. Similar to this from the NRA.

Is there any merit to thinking that Trump might become his own worst enemy when the campaign really gets going? Will there be such a thing as Trump fatigue,…[Read more]

I also like Hickenlooper, but that name. President Hickenlooper. OK we can do that, I guess. LOL.

Detailed Maps of the Donors Powering the 2020 Democratic Campaigns (as of July 2019, per New York Times)

Focus is mostly on Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, Harris, Biden, and O’Rourke, with mentions of 15 others.
