Uhm. He is a legendary digital marketing genius.

I have never heard of this bilking you speak of. Details?

A legendary digital marketing genius that has effectively contributed to the Trump Team spamming my inbox with 500 messages a day begging for money

The article is objectively not unbiased. However, to simply downplay the issue as "trash" is potentially disingenious. The fact of the matter is that if you are on his email chain, you get 10-20 emails a day begging for money. There's a reason for this.

Here's a small Washington Examiner piece: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-says-he-is-prepared-to-use-his-own-money-amid-reports-of-campaign-cash-crunch

"Gone dark". I wonder why. He had 1.3 (or 1.1 can't recall) BILLION at his disposal.

Here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-14/trump-campaign-slashes-ad-spending-in-key-states-in-cash-crunch

Key points:

  • Campaign stopped advertisements in key states
  • Biden outspending Trump in advertising in critical states
  • Trump not running ads in Michigan and PA
  • Biden outraised Trump by >$100m in August [again, this wouldn't be an issue if Trump still had the 1 BILLION at his disposal)
  • Good points: Ground game (maybe?). Relying on small donors (vs. the big corporate Demon rats)

Key points: (source: FEC filings)

  • Biden has more cash on hand than Trump (despite Trump's once incredible monetary advantage)

Wow. You’re right! A no-source opinion article from a publication which was the lead for the Russia hoax changed my mind!

You’re a great mind. I’m sure your patients (mice in the lab) are happy to have you around.
