    No, you haven't come up with anything original in months and just spout of trump propaganda and talking points.

    Glad we agree Trumptards are trump puppets.

    So did she lie or did she just short circuit on the truth?

    There is only one important senior advisor who has to take all of the blame for the campaign being in a Derp Spiral.

    Trump's single most important senior advisor and the one he pays the most attention to on all topics is himself.

    News coverage is national, not statewide, as are campaign contributors. It doesn't matter what state the candidate is in for either. Trump is not running for governor of a state.

    For months, many Democrats were sneering and chiding Trump for not having any campaign funds. To the diametric opposite, they now lament and sneer that he does.

    Explain how a campaign contribution that is from Connecticut and national news coverage of Trump in a rally in Connecticut is any less valuable that a campaign contribution and national news coverage of Trump in a rally in Mississippi?

    Clearly it didn't work. Trump exhibits all the signs of someone who didn't get enough attention when he was young. Being raised by nannies and servants did very little to make him a decent person.

    It appears that you are not understanding the OP at all. One does not need to go campaign in a particular state, especially to hold rallies, in order to raise funds. You see, there is such a thing as the internet. Ever heard of it? Well, the vast majority of fundraising for campaigns is done over the internet, so I would wager that the adults in the room really don't know why you are bellyaching so much. So, I will try to help your understanding. You see, in most national campaigns, there are safe states, penumbra states, possible battlegrounds and real battlegrounds. A candidate who is behind and running against the clock is going to want to campaign in either the battlegrounds or possible battlegrounds. Connecticut is in no way a possible battleground for a GOP nominee. A reverse example of this wout be Clinton campaigning in Idaho. Furthermore, the criticism of Trump not campaigning where a losing candidate who is trying to make up lost ground needs to go campaign - that criticism is coming from REPUBLICANS. So, I hope you now understood this very basic chapter on electioneering 101. Now, to answer your childish and badly worded question: no, a campaign contribution from CT is not less valuable than a campaign contribution from MS. But that's not the jist of the OP at all. Better luck to you next time!

    Oh, and just one little bitty side-note: Trump said yesterday in Connecticut that he was NOT fundraising:

    Apparently the newest Dem tactic is to try to intimidate and demoralize Trump voters by ridicule and snobbery.

    Thank you for answering the question. Safe to assume you can't find one except as you say in your own imagination which may give you solice but won't actually convince anyone who is interested in actual facts.

    Oh, and that was two, not one commie pinko leftist organizations.

    Ha, I remember when Trump said New York was in play. The dude literally says anything. Can't believe a single thing he says. He's mentally ill.

    Oh, he will travel to the Kremlin eventually.

    But, first he needs to cement (and solidify) his massively overwhelming advantage among African-American voters.

    Totally. No foolin'.

    Trump is more popular with the AA community than MLK was at the height of the Montgomery bus boycott.

    He will probably win Wash. DC with over 80% of the vote.:alcoholic:

    I have something original: Don't be a brainwashed tool of the establishment.
    That is all.

    Just think how the press would be fawning over Hillary if she campaigned in a State that was assumed to be out of play.

    Now, that's an interesting statement. Only, Clinton has yet to campaign in a state that is statistically not a major battleground. You do understand this, right?? Were Clinton to show up in Idaho or Wyoming, say, I certainly would laugh about it. But she is not silly nor a catastrophe like Donald Trump is.

    Get yet figures straight, bro: 99.99999%!!!

    Oh, indeed, I would. But Clinton is practical and not silly, so the case is moot.

    Pointing out that Trump is just rich white trash is neither ridicule nor snobbery, it is just a FACT!

    Trump voters ridicule themselves by supporting a reality TV star.

    Sorry but while there is ample evidence that he is trash there is no actual evidence that he is rich.

    He is certainly no Ronnie Raygun.

    If I feel someone is or has done something useful for society I do not choose to describe them behind their backs in that manner. How do you think your description of
    Trump in this manner invalidates the good he has done and could do? Are your sensitive aesthetic feelings more important than the workers abandoned by our elites in favor of get-rich-quick profits at the expense of our independence as a nation and our infrastructure that assures we will not starve or freeze to death?

    I find it somewhat obscene that you allow your tastes and inclinations more weight than the good of your country and all of its people.

    Just today there was a discussion in the news of how the corporations running our mega farms could choose to export all the food products they grow here if the prices were to become higher elsewhere.

    Do you want us to end up like Venzuela?
