Political Cartoon: Early campaign contribution voting

Stories reporting on the third quarter fundraising totals for each of the 2020 Presidential candidates usually concentrated on the Democrats whose top five candidates together raised about $96 million. At the bottom of the stories, like this one in the New York Times, it’s reported that, oh, by the way, the one major Republican candidate raked in, ummm, $125 million — all for his little self. The story got swamped by news of whistleblowers, a Syrian troop pullout, and the NBA kowtowing to China, all seemingly bad news for Donald Trump’s re-election prospects. But anyone with hopes for a Democratic win in 2020 ought first to look at his purse.
