OK. I acknowledge $6.8 million was raised, as reported by named sources. Smart move by Trump to make this Haley crushing show in her home state just before the SC primary election. This partly explains Trump's weak January fundraising numbers. He was stockpiling the pledges to make this February...

Haley's Game Plan It seems Haley will stay in the race no matter how much she loses the state primary elections. I think she's doing this because the money is there to keep going, and she'll be ready to be the default GOP candidate if Trump dies, has a stroke, "loses it," or otherwise becomes...

Wisconsin Republicans Lose Their Gerrymandered Edge https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/02/19/gov-tony-evers-signs-new-election-maps-ending-wiscoonsin-gerrymander/72602408007/

That's a pretty weak report, and it is suspect on its face. The full story is here. The only reference to fundraising is, "A source familiar told Fox News Digital that Trump is expected to bring in more than $6 million at this single event." That statement comes shortly after the actual news of...

Trump Campaign Fundraising and Spending Looking Grim "On Tuesday, Trump’s “Save America” leadership political action committee reported raising just $8,508 from donors in the entire month of January, while spending about $3.9 million, according to a new filing with the Federal Election...

In the eyes of some, yes. In the eyes of some, yes. I think not. The lawyers who speak on this topic that I listen to are right more often than they are wrong and they say the appeals will be largely if not entirely unsuccessful. The credibility of the "old bimbo" is no longer an issue. The...

You are placing a lot of faith in Trump's coattails; the coattails of a man who cannot fill a rally like he used to, and who is racking up one loss after another in court; an adjudicated rapist, fraudster, defamer, and tax cheat.

As With Carroll, So With James "'If [Trump] does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,' James said in an interview with ABC News' Aaron Katersky." (Source)

A GOP Purge to Come? This article discusses a possible purge that may come to the national Republican Party. I have not been following the events closely, but I hear of state Republican Parties where pro-Trump people take control and run the organizations into the ground. If Trump seats his...

More Accountability. More ETTD The US Supreme Court let stand the lower court rulings that hold pro-Trump lawyers accountable for the lies they told. Those liars, those legal professionals now condemned for their “historic and profound abuse of the judicial process,” have exhausted all of their...

The $83.3 Million Carroll Clock Started Ticking 2/8/24 Trump has 30 days after this date to appeal. If he does not appeal, the $83.3 million judgement is immediately payable. If he does not pay, Carroll's attorneys will ask for and receive from the Court an order that empowers them to seize...

Jointly and Severally Liable to Plaintiff In his ruling, Judge Engoron said Trump personally and his companies are "are jointly and severally liable to plaintiff..." (Source). This means his companies can pay part or all of the judgement amount (about $455 million) or Trump himself can pay part...

DeSantis' Stupidity Exposed Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday came out in support of a proposal to limit book bans in schools—the direct result of his own stupid policies. https://newrepublic.com/post/179055/ron-desantis-mistake-florida-schools-book-bans

We have no way to verify how many showed up. Regarding the line, if the report is true, consider this (from ChatGPT): To determine how many people are in a line that is a mile long, we need to know the average spacing between each person. Let's assume a comfortable distance of about 2 feet...

Trump Supporter Response to NY Verdict is Weak A group of truckers, including "Chicago Ray," who has emerged as a spokesman, are saying online that they will refuse loads into New York City to protest the devastating loss Trump suffered in the now concluded New York civil fraud case. (Source)...

That makes my point. Two thousand is a far cry from the crowd size Trump used to produce. Trump has been selecting small venues for a while now.

Meaningless. We don't know the photo is real and we cannot verify the "mile-long" claim, and even if it is real, we don't know if it is from an event today. To know the truth about rally size, we need to know: How many in attendance? How do we know? What is the venue? How many seats? How many...

What Happened to Trump's Big Rallies? It's been a while since Trump has filled a large arena at one of his political rallies. His rallies are now held in smaller venues. Too many empty seats?

Bans, Monitors and Financial Penalties Last Friday, (2/16/24), Judge Engoron concluded the NY civil fraud trial by issuing his 92-page ruling. The judge found Trump et al are unremorseful and highly likely to commit fraud again. "Their complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on the...

Trump Cannot Use Political Funds to Pay the Engoron-Ordered Judgement Trump cannot easily turn to his political donations to pay the [Engoron-ordred] judgment. It is illegal to use campaign funds to pay an expense that is totally unrelated to a campaign, and although Trump super PACs spent...
