(6,168 posts)His cash crunch must be real.
posts here indicating the campaign has pulled all teevee ads or something like that. Perhaps that's true.
They are still advertising on Facebook, but very few TV ads. They are blowing money like a drunk sailor and a big percentage of their campaign cash is used to raise campaign cash! Almost a billion dollars and not much of anything to show for it.

(53,542 posts)before Labor Day? These people never did know what they were doing. Trump won in 2016 with dumb luck, Russian help, and a lot of free media attention. I think his dumb luck ran out and media finally got wise to him. I'm not sure Russia can repeat their success from four years ago, but of course, Trump can cheat. He's good at that.

The first $500K goes to my fee. After that, we'll see.

(53,542 posts)people in Trump's world handle finances! I think everyone is skimming off the top big time. Imagine donating money to a campaign and then finding out this is the way they spent your contribution.

(3,921 posts)That really is what it boils down to, we need to get rid of this dark cloud that is caused by Trump and his failures, and fix the (real) economy and healthcare and climate - all things important to the middle class.
