So I guess it is pretty nice to have the National Taxpayers Union on your side.

Caught up. Im telling you though, your not going to get much at all if you copy and paste the same 2 sentence post in 5 different cities.

With the large number of states voting in February, there is no way to deliver your message without money. Is the websites ever going to bring in money? You can't run a real campaign with the low dollar amounts that is being given in fundraising events.

It's your own fault if you only have $200,000. Then again, even though I have 10 times that, I completely agree. By Super Tuesday we should have a lot more money than any of us do right now.

Thank you for your comments but in a realistic (real life) fundraiser a candidate that gets 50-300 thousand dollars wouldn't be in the race very long considering the cost that it takes to run an effective campaign.
I would rather spend my time with the people and do campgaign rallies than creating 30 different fundraisers in the hopes of getting 1-2 million dollars.
In most sims, candidates have 4 years to do fundraising events to prepare for an expensive run for the President. Due to the obvious, we didn't have that opportunity and that should have been taken into consideration for this election if so many states are going to be decided at one time.

The thing is is that it doesn't take into account the fact that candidates get donations even when not doing fundraisers.

I think whoever is doing fund raising should, "up", the funds for all the fund raisers to make up for the in proportional amount of money we have. I mean I understand that because this is the first election there is such few money, so just this one election "up" the amount of money.

If it was up to me, you guys would get 1-12 million each month, depending on how well you're doing.

Well here is a comment for you "Im not giving you more money just because you wrote 2 sentences and charged 15,000$ a plate then someone who wrote out a long nice speech with detailed plans and charges. " Follow the advised advice and you will get more, as the Democrats have been doing.

I'm not bashing you Oterez, I'm just saying for compensation for all the candidates.
Also it was "$1,500" and it was more than 2 sentences.
Also, Quantity doesn't mean quality...

It originally said 15,000. As for quantity, dont expect me to give you much for copy & pasting a couple sentences in 5 different cities.
