Harris Raised A Billion Dollars . . .

. . . but it wasn't enough to buy an answer to the question, "What would [she] do differently than Joe Biden?"

Through mid-October, she had spent $880m, while the Trump campaign had spent $354m, or only 40% as much. Harris spent $56m on payroll, Trump only $9m. Harris spent $654m on advertising, while Trump spent $378m. (The time period for the advertising is longer than the one for the reported total general election spending, which is why it is greater for Trump.)

You thought all these celebrities and social media influencers loved Kamala. Well, maybe. But they were also highly compensated for their appearances on her behalf. They paid Oprah $1m for the townhall that she did with Harris. They spent more than six figures on this set for Harris' Call Her Daddy podcast. They paid Village Marketing Agency $3.9m to recruit influencers to support her. And now the gravy train has ended. No wonder all the celebrities were crying the last couple days.

    So Oprah was paid one million dollars for her having that interview with Kamala Word Salad Harris?

    One million dollars? Yet the Queen of the Pop New Age Media Culture could not bother to curtail her honest facial reactions to the Blatherers' inane output.

    I guess she had already cashed the check!!

    LOL! Even a million dollars couldn't buy Harris respect.

    Think what happened to all the BLM money raised back in the old days….. My money is on old fashioned money laundering. For every ad, PR, catering, rally or transportation or what have you contract, every line item was marked up and overhead skimmed right off. And those transactions were for actual events. Add in the favoured NGO and helping not for profits who did nothing and it’s easy to make someone else’s money go away.

    I guess we're seeing that Trump is a much better business and organization manager. Not only that, but much of his advertising was guerilla advertising through memes.

    Kamala's advertising plan was so ineffective that I encountered her ads multiple times. I am not her target market. Every ad I heard or saw was a waste of money. Some of those ads, I heard sponsoring various Ricochet podcasts.
