When Donald Trump told Republicans that his campaign had money, it was a lie. In meeting with Senate Republicans, Trump's campaign privately admitted that they have no money and will not be able to run television ads until after the GOP convention in July.http://www.politicususa.com/2016/05/28/republicans-stunned-trump-reveals-presidential-campaign-broke.html
The Washington Examiner reported:
Donald Trumps campaign has alerted Senate Republicans that he wont have much money to spend fending off attacks from Hillary Clinton over the next couple months.
The notice came when Paul Manafort, Trumps senior advisor, met with a group of Senate Republican chiefs of staff for lunch last week, sources familiar with the meeting told the Washington Examiner. The admission suggests that Trump will be far more dependent on the GOP brass for money than he has led voters to believe, but its consistent with his reliance on the Republican National Committee to provide a ground game in battleground states.
They know that theyre not going to have enough money to be on TV in June and probably most of July, until they actually accept the nomination and get RNC funds, so they plan to just use earned media to compete on the airwaves, one GOP source familiar with Manaforts comments told the Examiner.
Trump is also refusing to use his own money to fund his campaign. In other words, what Donald Trump is telling the voters is completely different from what is happening behind closed doors.
This guy is a HUMAN JOKE!!!

BTW - I'm sure you know all that but I wanted to make the point.

(2,792 posts)Even if Trump gets organized, donations will, at best, trickle in, although the MSM will give him all the free time he wants, since they love his entertainment value (and ratings) so much. But Gary Johnson may get more votes in the end than Trump does.
I am befuddled as to why Bernie believes only he can defeat Donald Trump. I have some stale bread that could defeat Donald Trump, whose mouth is his own worst enemy.

Can't believe what a gift this guy has been to democrats. The GOP did this to itself by not bitch slapping the tea party years ago.

It's time to tell temper-tantrum Bernie that he can't have everything he wants.

(20,135 posts)Once there are no more, it will be basically impossible for him to convince people to give him money.
