Jeremy Green Eche, a trademark lawyer, bought the URL for just $8.99 in hopes of Harris and Walz one day forming a Democratic presidential ticket.

You never know when you will have a nice pay day.
Good luck to Mr. Green Eche.

... And he's talked about this domain a few times in the Timely Domain thread 👇

Hey everybody, this is the seller of ClintonKaine.com checking in.

Political domain names are generally worthless unless you happen to get the correct combination of the two names on a presidential ticket, which means you're just playing the presidential ticket lottery. I was lucky to sell Cruz2016.com and BidenWarren.com during the 2016 cycle for $1500 each. BidenWarren.com was bought by a Republican dentist in Florida and I believe Cruz2016.com was actually bought by the Cruz campaign. I was lucky even to get $15,000 for ClintonKaine.com, considering the Clinton-Kaine Campaign didn't want it and said they couldn't offer more than $2,000.

I also had fun projects on some of these domains like Santorum-2012.com, ClintonBooker.com, and ClintonKaine.com, which got a lot of press coverage and drew attention to the things I was working on at the time like my webcomic. The press coverage also resulted in a lot of links to my domains, boosting their domain authority for search engines. I still own the first two domains and they include the original content plus a couple of links to my businesses.

ThatNameGuy's "projects" don't seem like real projects and they're also not interesting at all. Buying a .com domain for some catchphrase or pointless combination of words like JohnSmith4Florida or worse, a .org domain, and then putting a news article or a photograph on it is not fun or interesting. It's also not worth any money.

This cycle, I have domains for three out of the eight possible VP picks that have received vetting materials from the Harris campaign. These domains are HarrisWalz.com, HarrisPritzker.com, and HarrisRichmond.com. I have a bunch of other now-mostly-worthless Harris domains and several Whitmer domains (she may run in 2028 so they still have potential value). I have TrumpCotton.com too, which had potential and was getting solid traffic while Cotton was on Trump's VP shortlist.

All of my 2024 cycle political domains redirect to listings for the domains on my brand name marketplace, Communer.com. The listings have been getting a decent amount of traffic (a couple hundred visitors a day), which raises awareness of Communer. And if Harris actually does pick Walz, Pritzker, or Richmond (I doubt she'll pick Richmond), then I'll probably get some press coverage and links for Communer out of it.

If any of you have considered turning one of your semi-premium or non-premium domains into a business/brand, Communer may be a good way to sell it. We sell a lot of trademarks tied to matching .com domains in the $4k to $10k range.
