Discussion: Clinton Piles Up Dollars While Trump's Fundraising Nose Dives

Madame President has a serious campaign. She is running a serious and professional operation. Sheā€™s more supported by the American people and it shows. Business entity Donald Trump has indicated from the start that his ā€œcampaignā€ was to be about him and his ā€œbrand.ā€ He has been grifting his supporters all along ā€“ and this is why large numbers of big-moneyed Republicans refuse to financially support Trumpā€™s campaign. I look forward to the next couple of years when the investigations start revealing just what he and his family have been doing with his campaign dollars. Iā€™m looking forward to his trials. Some prison time is likely in Donaldā€™s future.

Well, there seems to be a pretty open and shut case against the Trump campaign for soliciting money from non-Americans. Literally hundreds of emails were sent to members of foreign parliaments all over the globeā€¦England, Australia, Iceland, the Netherlands, Finland. Merely soliciting the money is illegal, and they have been doing that in very big, and not so subtle ways (spam emails).

And then there is the UK-Telegraph report this week

Why all of this has been ignored by the MSM here is unforgivable, IMO. But he has been so blatant about it, I donā€™t see how the FEC can turn a blind eye after the election.

So. TPM has Trump in the lead in Florida. Fivethirtyeight has Clinton with just under a %65 percent chance of winning Florida. If anyone reads this at TPM, or if any of you, my wonderfully, intelligent friends know where TPM pulls their data from, Iā€™d appreciate an explanation.

Yeah, but Trump is a billionaire who is self-funding his campaign. His infusion of cash in the next 10 days is going to be huge. Nobody infuses like Donald!

Where do you see that? TPM has it as a toss-up, with Clinton ahead by 1.5 pts, a result that is driven by the Selzer/Bloomberg poll (see http://talkingpointsmemo.com/polltracker/flurry-florida-polls-show-close-race).

Sam Wang and the PEC also have Clinton with a > 60% probability of winning Florida.

they recently updated it. When I wrote that, Trump was ahead by a percent and a half.

Hillary and friends need to spend every nickel and then some. A simple win is not enough, we need to win thoroughly and deep into every state. Liberalism bubbles up from the grass roots and is lead by the likes of Barack and Hillary.

What we do locally is whet we get nationally.

No one has ever questioned the ability of the Clintons to bring in money. What they do with it, thatā€™s a different story.
