These government contribution are seed money for the network to raise more money from sponsors and individual contributors.. Originally Posted by stikiwikit

Apologies for my fuzzy memory in older age; but isn't the biological life cycle something along the lines of: plant seed, germinate, flourish, mature, bear seed producing fruit, die?

In essence, once a seed germinates, it is A) no longed needed and B) causes the planting to be successful for generations to come with out further intervention?!?

Did I miss an ice age? Are limited mass communication vehicles and high $$ barriers to entry still a thing?? Sounds olde fashion-ish to me...
I wouldn't count NJ in the lost column just yet. Something is happening up there.



Will Trump win NJ in 2020? Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

I do and Hitlery ain't popular. The crowd size of GEPOTUS rally in a town that has 5,000-6,000 people kinda also tells me what NJ thinks.

A single rally means nothing. I challenge you to point to anything REAL which would point to a Trump victory in NJ in 2020.

2 Democratic Senators
10 Democratic House members, 2 Republican House members
Democratic Governor

If you or anyone else wants to argue that states like Minnesota or NH might turn red in 2020 you might have a case. Not likely but possible. NJ? No way.
A question. I wonder where in the history of New Jersey that another event had 75,000 tickets requested and only 7,000 folks got in. Anybody?

Can you imagine if The Boss, or any other famous rock group, held a FREE concert in a venue seating 7,000 how many tickets would be requested?

I would guess in the millions.

Case in point. Austin City Limits has free tickets to their TV tapings. The Moody Theater seats 2,750 people and my understanding is that the number of people requesting tickets is in the 6 figures. I have enter several times and won once -- Billie Eilish.

I must have missed it. Could you supply the specific link that satisfies the narrow parameters of the answer, please? Originally Posted by Precious_b

You know, when is Mexico paying for the Wall?
You are in a rarefied circle because from the link I supplied, no one in Congress is privy to the answer and trump has hidden it from vetted media.

His tickets go for $75 to $850 depending on the seats, and they have been scalped as high as $10,000, so he's had to take unusual measures to weed out the scalpers and keep his tickets priced below market so that his true fans can attend.

Little Donald Trump only wishes he could bring in that kind of crowd.

The Boss is only worth about half a billion dollars, compared to Trump's three billion.

But Bruce Springsteen doesn't have a history of discriminating against tenants, stiffing his contractors, defrauding customers i.e. Trump University, holding deep-seated grudges against his competition, kneecapping them, and spreading blatant lies to sabotage their careers.

There is a reason they call Bruce Springsteen "The Boss". He has earned people's respect.

Obama won in 2008 and 2012. Trump in 2016. I have no idea what their rallies were like attendance-wise, Republicans vs. Democrats.

Do you really think that the people who attend Trump rallies are not Trump supporters? Rally size is irrelevant. No one's minds are changed. They are there to see a circus led by the biggest clown the office of POTUS has ever seen.
And I hear on the alt radical news that everyone that attends is given a free Bible!

I sure hope you do. It will make the crushing of your soul a gorillion times more enjoyable than the last two days.

Though the last two days have been good times. Huh?
