These are the basics of campaign finance in 2020 — in two handy charts

After the Democrats pick a presidential nominee, he or she will be able to set up joint fundraising groups with the Democratic National Committee that can bring in more than $2,800 or $5,600 per donor. But the DNC already does have a joint fundraising committee with state groups — the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund — that can accept as much as $865,000 a year from an individual donor.

"Campaign finance laws"...LOL. Thanks to Citizens United the money is sloshing around wherever candidates and donors want it to go...what a joke.

Anyway, with coronavirus cases going up and the stock market going down Trump may be so despised by November Joe may not even need that much dough to whoop him. Probably better to spend more on downballot races where a few bucks might make a whole lotta difference.

Keep the House and increase Pelosi's majority...take back the Senate and boot Moscow Mitch...and get a true-blue Dem in the White House and President Putinpuppet the hell out. Then rock and roll.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
