Yes; so I looked this up, using Google to search for a New York Times report about if the impeachment is helping Donald to get new donors.
One New York Times article says both parties are using the impeachment to raise funds.
Anyone here can search in Google with something like "Trump helped impeachment donors", and also enter a specific big name paper to get what that paper is reporting about this.
A difference, though, can be between new donors . . . and new voters. Donors could be ones who already favor Donald. There are many evangelicals who already are hard-line to vote for him, but they may not have given.
Even so, the Times says he has gone after people he did not make a point of reaching to, in his first campaign. So, I think it can be likely he has made more effort, this time, and it is paying off.
During the first campaign, he used a lot of his own money. This time, the Republican Party is going after donors. So, he won even while not going after financially smaller people.
By the way, Tulc, another difference is now already the Republican Party is backing Donald. During Donald's first run, he was competing with various other candidates; not this time. This time, he already has the Republican Party working with him. I would say this is a difference to see.
Now, Mayor Bloomberg is interesting > if I have been informed correctly and understand right > he has used his fortune to help various charities. And it seems this is much more than what Donald has done with his money. Mayor Bloomberg, also served as mayor of New York City, being paid by the city a dollar a year, and he paid his travel expenses. And it might be he even paid for certain things to better New York. He had pet projects he financed, himself, it seems from reporting I read in the Business Insider.
By the way, Donald promised he would not take a salary for serving as President. I have yet to be told if he kept that promise. But Mayor Bloomberg has already served for a dollar a year.
Mayor Bloomberg had what would have maybe been a pork project, if he had used tax money for it > an aquarium in his office, or something like that > which cost thousands of dollars to keep up, daily, but with his own money. But his charity giving has been in the billions, if I remember correctly. And certain items have been in education, which I can see can be teaching to fish instead of handing out fish.
And Mayor Bloomberg has mainly used his own money to campaign, it seems from what I remember > don't be afraid to Google and check what I seem to remember!!!!
But may be his self support financially can help to keep the little donors inactive so they might not feel they are bonded with him, and are unneeded.
So, by depending on their own money, both candidates may have kept themselves distant from voters who need to give so they feel invested in and needed by a candidate . . . so then they vote.
So, maybe Donald is getting "smarter". I think he already knows how simply keeping attention to himself helps to keep people aware of him enough so they feel they know him. And so they are not likely to vote for someone else they are not familiar with. So, now, by getting financial attention . . . by activating donors . . . Donald has yet more of a way to keep attention to himself, so in a way voters don't know of anyone else to vote for.
And, for a while now, I have not been noticing him showing a lot of criticizing and badmouthing. He to me has seemed to come on more mild, but speaking clearly. This could be making him seem more sensible. And it is possible the Republican Party has been having a little talk with him.
During his "Apprentice" TV thing, he seemed much more communicative and smart about business and handling people. So, I was surprised he came on like he did during debating with Hillary. I am interested to see how he does things now. His "Apprentice" manner, to me, seemed much more authoritative and even presidential so I thought he could win the American presidency, with all the publicity he had . . . attention.
Maybe they told him to tone it down, and maybe if this is so, he likes it . . . after all, since this is how he behaved during "Apprentice". He seemed to enjoy that.
But Mayor Bloomberg has actually admitted he has been wrong in how he has done certain things in the past.
Has Donald openly and plainly pointed out how he has been wrong????
People have made an effort to discredit Mayor Bloomberg, about past things. If those things really are past > Jesus expects us to forgive, right? And Jesus even forgave people, right while they were still crucifying Him. So, I would be prayerful and careful about judging anyone by his or her past . . . especially in case a person has received correction.
I am curious if the Republican Party strategy people have been somehow correcting Donald's approach.
God wants us to pray for all > 1 Timothy 2:1-4. Prayer
"for" means with love and hope
"for" > loves
"hopes all things" > in 1 Corinthians 13:7. My temptation is to make fun of ones who so boast they will win, but they turn out to be losers. But Jesus wants us to love and care for every one, like He did on the cross.
