Trump picks another winner
The remarkably-named MAGA crackpot Trump hand-picked to run for governor in Michigan is barely running a campaign at all:
The differences on paper are stark.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s campaign held 26 fundraisers in 35 days, has 49 people on its payroll and $14 million in the bank as of Aug. 22. Republican nominee Tudor Dixon’s is reporting two paid staff, held no fundraisers and has about $524,000 in cash as of late August.
For ever dollar Dixon had to spend at the end of the last filing period, Whitmer had nearly $27.
Whitmer has built a formidable political operation that has dwarfed her Republican opponent in the money game. While Republican nominee Tudor Dixon’s fundraising has ramped up, according to state campaign finance disclosures filed Thursday, she still has a long way to go to match Whitmer’s unprecedented nationwide fundraising presence.
Not that I’m complaining!
