The Republican presidential candidate raised $36.6 million in July, according to newly released filings to the Federal Election Committee. But that is $16 million less than his Democratic challenger for the month.

When fundraising by national parties and the super PACs backing the respective candidates are added to the total, team Clinton far outpaces team Trump.

The Democratic National Committee, Clinton and the super PAC backing Clinton, Priorities USA, raised a total of $94.5 million last month.

In comparison, the Republican National Committee, Trump and two super PACs backing Trump, brought in just two-thirds of the Democrats' total: $68.3 million in July.

Isn't this $68.3 Trump total quite a bit less than he was claiming earlier in the month?

3. I was just on the FEC website and could not find the disbursements, which were so interesting

the last time, like how much money was spent at tRump properties and who essentially was paid money by the campaign...

Are they not out yet, are just the totals out at the moment???

Everybody else in the universe hates Trump, I'm sure of it.

6. This is the first election I've seen where the Democrats have been able to out-raise the GOP.

It isn't anything to take for granted.
