I’m no fan of large amounts of money sloshing around in the political process, BUT, just for today…HAH HAH HAH HAH! Heh heh. Oh, jeez, this is rich.

Unless and until both political parties mutually agree to measures that drastically cut back the amount of money required to run campaigns—good luck getting the Kochs and Adelsons to agree to that—Democrats have no choice but to raise as much as they can. To refuse to do so is unilateral disarmament, otherwise known as political suicide.

Trump’s just following his basic business model – fleece the rubes, go in the hole, line your own pocket along the way, and then in the end stiff your suppliers.

My prediction is that Trump’s campaign will be the first ever to officially declare bankruptcy, after the election of course. At that point, how can you expect someone with the attention span of a 2-year-old to put any effort into retiring campaign debt?

Coming soon to a cheap advertising spot near you, an argument that Republicans are the true people wanting money out of politics.

Trump: 1). Why should I have to disclose cash. This is illegal. I am not even showing my tax return.
2). I am multi-billionaire. Why doest the liberal media count that? I am The Richest person in the world.

From what I’m reading this is just absolutely unheard-of and disastrous. One headline: “There Is No Trump Campaign.” And it’s not meant in some metaphorical way. The stuff that’s usually in place isn’t, and there’s no money to pay for it to be there, or time to get it set up if there were. Genius Boy went out and partied instead of studying for his finals, and now it’s finals time and he doesn’t know jack. Nobody has seen anything like it before. Amazing.

That’s also one of the biggest reasons I initially supported Clinton over Sanders. You don’t bring a slingshot and spitballs to a gunfight. I’d like to see her take him out early, take him out of contention completely, and then focus on down ballot races. I’ve recently seen a couple of pieces questioning the GOPs grip on the House, and the Senate seems to be quickly slipping through their fingers. And we already know Clinton will get to flip SCOTUS. So, there exists a very real opportunity for Democrats to control all three branches of government. I’m thrilled we have a candidate who understands the army we need to fight and win. Sansa Clinton!

Unlike, say, Trump.

It is amazing. But in a very, very good schadenfreude-y kind of way.

I’m just kind of in disbelief about it, to be quite frank. Should I enjoy this as the apparent scenario where your opponents (and only your opponents) all get stuck in a horror movie and the monster’s butchering them left and right with abandon? Or should I assume this could somehow be a setup and there’s actually a trap hidden somewhere?

I mean, can they really, truly be this stupid and incompetent???

It’s so confusing!!! :confused:

This is truly baffling. If he doesn’t have the liquidity to self-fund a POTUS,wtf is he doing? As I understand it,he can’t control how the RNC spends money it raises.

Yea, but Trump’s like a bazillionaire and can pay out of his own deep, well hung pockets.

Maybe his campaign should hire some former Trump University employees to do the fundraising.

Actually, that explains it. He can’t reach far enough into his pockets because of the short fingers.

You know, I kind of think Trump thought the GOP had a magical money spigot somewhere that he’d have access to once he became the nominee, and is surprised the money hasn’t miraculously appeared for him to spend as he sees fit.

He’s the conman who actually won the con, only to find that what he actually won was a radioactive money pit. And he still has to pay the debt from the con itself.

On the one hand, Chinchilla-Head could nullify the fundraising gap on his own money – probably.

On the other hand, Trump never spends his own money ON ANYTHING.

He’s doomed.

#Draper Sterling
Sound familiar? Two of the main characters in Mad Men. Ran an ad company. Totally fictional.

Well, among the disbursements listed by Trump last night was $35,000 for “web advertising” to a company called Draper Sterling.

The company was incorporated only one month before getting this business.

The address for the business is Londonderry NH. About 5 miles away from Corey Lewindowsky’s home.

D’ya think, maybe, this is worth looking into?
