Kos: Why Donald Trump's $51 million fundraising haul is a good thing for Democrats (HRC GP)

Donald Trump finally raised money.

Trump raised $26 million for his own campaign, his team announced, with an additional $25 million raised jointly with the RNC at 22 separate fundraising events around the country. According to the campaign, 400,000 people donated, and 94 percent of those donations were for less than $200.

In addition to the $51 million raised, Trump contributed $3.8 million of his own money to the campaign. His campaign did not announce how much money it currently has on hand, or how much it spent during the month of June.
That number isn’t actually as good as it looks. Four years ago, Mitt Romney raised $106 million in June 2012, and had $160 million in the bank. But still, this is the best news to happen to Democrats this month—even more so than Hillary Clinton being cleared of criminal wrongdoing by the FBI.

Why? Because there is a real effort to oust Trump in a convention coup, and one that had picked up steam in the preceding weeks.
