My girlfriend gets these emails and always shares their subject lines with me! It's always doom and gloom... I told her that this is because Rand is trying to appeal to the Republican base and his staff must have determined that these buzz words work. I would guess that the language will change if he secures the nomination.
Let me take a wild guess. "Market testing has indicated that these headlines grab attention and result in more donations than happy subject lines." Frank Luntz approves.
"Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country, and giving it to the rich people of a poor country." - Ron Paul
"Beware the Military-Industrial-Financial-Pharma-Corporate-Internet-Media-Government Complex." - B4L update of General Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Debt is the drug, Wall St. Banksters are the dealers, and politicians are the addicts." - B4L
"Totally free immigration? I've never taken that position. I believe in national sovereignty." - Ron Paul

The latest subject line: Doomed.
I used to read the Ron, Rand and CFL emails. Some how I ended up in a bunch of other lists with emails that look fairly similar to what I get from them. Between all the emails it got to the point I was receiving so many I just stopped reading all of them.-----Original Message-----

With only 72 hours left before the deadline for my End of Quarter Money Bomb, I'll get right to the point.
If the media picks a candidate from the mushy middle to be our party's nominee, 2016 is destined for disaster.
And with polls showing me leading Hillary Clinton in key swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, the liberal press will pull out all the stops to diminish my candidacy.
They want to write the story that this election will be fought over "whose turn it is."
So I need to count on you to chip in a contribution to my End of Quarter Money Bomb before the June 30th deadline and send a message that Republican voters will select our party's nominee and not the media <http://if.inboxfirst.com/ga/click/2> .
<snipped>l, I'm running for President because status quo politicians from BOTH parties have failed us.
And from the day I entered this race, I believed I could win because the American people are tiring of candidates who run because they are "inevitable."
Polls show I'm the Republican best positioned to defeat Hillary Clinton because voters are rallying to my plan to defeat the Washington Machine by:
*** Cutting taxes and spending. My 14.5% flat-rate tax plan would drive a stake through the heart of the IRS, return $2 TRILLION to the American people, and create 1.4 million new jobs;
*** Ending the reign of career politicians by passing term limits;
*** Forcing members of Congress to read the bills they vote on -- instead of springing last-minute thousand page bills on the American people that are laden with handouts to those with the best lobbyists;
*** Repealing ALL of ObamaCare. Every last word of this horrendous government takeover of our healthcare;
*** Auditing the Federal Reserve;
*** Protecting the entire Bill of Rights -- including the Second Amendment, our right to religious liberty, the God-given right to life, and our right to privacy from government snooping.
But time is running out and I need to count on your support.
So please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to my End of Quarter Money Bomb before the June 30th deadline and send a message that Republican voters - and not the media - will pick our nominee for President <http://if.inboxfirst.com/ga/click/2> .

* See my visitor message area for caveats related to my posting history here.
* Also, I have effectively retired from all social media including posting here and are basically opting out of anything to do with national politics or this country on federal or state level and rather focusing locally. I may stop by from time to time to discuss philosophy on a general level related to Libertarian schools of thought and application in the real world.
Well done, OP.
I got an email today thanking me for past contributions and asking if I'd be willing to chip in $1500 before the deadline, but also that any amount is fine. Bold lol

Don't be feeble,
They have the ability to know how you engage the emails they send. I don't know their specific reasoning but it has to be the type of title that gets the most clicks, because getting people to click and hooking them to read line by line is what is the most important part of the emails, otherwise they're pointless.
Don't be feeble, the campaign is not crashing and burning just because they're using doomish sounding titles. They just want to reach the maximum amount of people for donations as this fundraising quarter ends.
THE SQUAD of RPF
1. enhanced_deficit - Paid Troll / John Bolton book promoter
2. Devil21 - LARPing Wizard, fake magical script reader
3. Firestarter - Tax Troll; anti-tax = "criminal behavior"
4. TheCount - Comet Pizza Pedo Denier <-- sick
@Ehanced_Deficit's real agenda on RPF =troll:
Who spends this much time copy/pasting the same recycled links, photos/talking points.
7 yrs/25k posts later RPF'ers still respond to this troll
Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.
H. L. Mencken said it best:
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
You have to understand that they're tracking everything about these emails from the click through rates on subject lines to the conversion rates on the back end (someone making a donation). They're also constantly A/B testing different subject lines and body content. If a particular subject for an email shows a below average performance, they're not going to continue using it. They're also measuring engagement and attempting to "nurture" the lists.
You cannot make a judgement on how well the campaign is doing based on it's email marketing material. As a full time internet marketer of 10 years, I'm quite certain that they're executing this properly.
Cruz is doing this too. I guess it works?
