13. I bet I can guess where this came from, at least in part

On Thursday, for example, Trump is in Dallas, Texas, attending a major GOP fundraiser sponsored by the Republican National Committee. But people associated with the event say it’s already hitting snags. The RNC was forced to change venues at least once fearing protesters would disrupt the reception, where guests were asked to cough up as much as $250,000 for a “couple” to attend as part of the “chairman’s circle.”

But one Dallas-based Trump fundraiser alerted people on social media that if they were balking at contributing even the minimum amount--$2,700 for adults and $500 for a “young professional” – he would figure out a way to get them into the event without the donation.

“People are having a hard time writing checks for this guy,” said a major Trump bundler involved in the Dallas reception. “If they write a check they’re holding a tissue while they write it.”

I'm sorry for the FOX link, but it is funny all the same.
