Republicans Stunned After Trump Reveals That His Presidential Campaign Is Broke (HRC GP)

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.

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.

The Washington Examiner reported:
Donald Trump’s campaign has alerted Senate Republicans that he won’t have much money to spend fending off attacks from Hillary Clinton over the next couple months.

The notice came when Paul Manafort, Trump’s 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 it’s consistent with his reliance on the Republican National Committee to provide a ground game in battleground states.

“They know that they’re 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 Manafort’s 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.

Since he has been making "loans" to his campaign. The Donald is no where as rich as he claims to be. If he did self fund he'd go banko before November.

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

He's not filling bedrooms in his hotels. The cash flow isn't what it once was: I wonder how long this will take to adversely affect his debt covenants.

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.

When no one pays in, there's no money. Screw taxes! Let the roads and school pay for themselves! Everything will magically get done without me paying a dime.

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.

We have a golden opportunity to go after Trump for 2 months when he has no cash. But Sanders apparently wants to squander it and force Democrats to deal with his bullshit.

He may have to borrow money from the DNC, in order to keep campaigning against Hillary.

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

Once there are no more, it will be basically impossible for him to convince people to give him money.

Isn't that what he's done here with the GOP?
