This. A million times.

I've donated to the Trump campaign but never when they've offered the matching because I don't know who's matching or if that money is already earmarked for the campaign and they're just calling it a match.

I would donate hundreds of dollars if I knew that money was being matched by someone who otherwise wouldn't donate, but I don't think this is the case.

I make donations to the Trump campaign (I'm on that dumb website). But I don't get the match thing. Why is it every day they claim they're "extending the deadline"? If it's really an "emergency" why would they do that? Why is it 500 some days and 600x others? LOL.

Because they're smart. They clearly know how to rake in the money. It's not like they're losing anything by asking you again, either you change your mind and donate this time or you don't. It's not like you're going to stop supporting Trump.

Slimy, you mean. Look I'm glad they're using what they can, but call it what it is.

Simple, another campaign finance thing is sending money to his campaign.

I can't donate directly to Trump more than 2800, but I can donate to various others.

So the GOP could set up a thing "We'll match X% of your donations within this timeframe" to help individual candidates. That is most likely the case. That's how the democrat side works.

It's just pure lies. It's a marketing tactic. I can't fault them because I'm sure it works, but it's underhanded.

Who knows what the match thing means, but what you know is that contributing money helps things. Just ignore the match.

I agree, I give anyway, but theres no need to insult our intelligence. I guess it helps some people donate, but it's still a lie.
