The latest federal-election reports show that Trump is doing
surprisingly well getting backers in this bluest of blue places. With
nearly 15 months to go before the 2020 election, he already has drawn
more donations from Seattle addresses than he did during the entire 2016
campaign.
In Washington state, where his approval rating is 28 points
underwater, Trump has still racked up far more donations, big and small,
than any of the Democratic candidates — in fact more than the top six
Democrats combined.
I’m not talking about total dollars raised — though on that front
Trump is a juggernaut, too. But the total number of donations reflects
how many people are inspired enough by a candidate to send any amount of
money, sometimes repeatedly. As I wrote in 2016, about how democratic
socialist candidate Bernie Sanders was swamping the field in the
donations category, “it’s like a measure of people power.”
