>Today's big news is the overall implosion of the Donald Trump campaign. He's repeatedly melted down on the stump over the past month. He's trailing Hillary Clinton by a mile in the latest polls. He fired his campaign manager this morning. His ego apparently doesn't allow him to beg other people for money, so he's barely done any fundraising at all. The fight to stop him at the Republican convention now has the support of nearly 400 delegates. With the election only 20 weeks away, he still has virtually no staff. He's being hammered by negative advertising on TV and isn't doing anything to fight back. (So far he's run exactly zero ads.)
>Except for the personal meltdown stuff, all of this is basically a money problem. Trump doesn't have any. In fact, pretty much everything you need to know about Trump's campaign—and his underlying business acumen, though that's a story for another time—is captured in FEC form 3P. As you can see, it shows that Trump ended the month of May with $1.28 million on hand. That's disastrous. It's unbelievable. It's less than a tenth of what he should have. It's less than a well-run congressional campaign should have. It's $40 million less than Hillary Clinton's campaign has. It's Donald Trump in a nutshell.
So what's going on? Does money stopped attracting money? Did Donald Trump think he could really go without the Establishment's funds? Why don't his supporters send him money? Are they cheap? Or don't they believe in his victory? Is the game already over?
>implying he ever actually wanted to be president TrumpTV incoming

>Why don't his supporters send him money?
Because he hasn't been asking for any?

You don't need to run ads when the TV news reports everything that you say. He doesn't have a problem with voters not knowing his policies, or his views.

The Republican establishment is punishing the base and Trump.
They would rather have Hillary than Trump. They have contempt for the base and want to teach them a lesson....don't pick the candidate that we chose for you and you will suffer the consequences.
Secondly, I don't think that Trump is prepared for this and the Republican machine is just letting him flounder.
Trump had better have one hell of a surprise up his sleeve. This is getting just brutal to watch.

I think the interesting takeaway from this is that you basically need 40 million dollars to be president, and what that says about our system of government.

all he does is fly around doing rallies and puts his ads out on the net, why does he need tons of money for this campaign?

Another shill thread citing sources from rabid anti-Trump websites ignoring his net worth hasnt been touched, just his wealth from the sales of hats and convention tickets.

since all willing supporters have probably bought a hat by now, what else could trump sell us? what accessory are we missing out on?
would an official MAGA tie be tacky?

Its a double shill. Dems and republicans.
Fucking scared to death.
Employing high quality Character assassination and now berating the size of money in his campaign account.
Though both parties have for years paid lip service to the idea of campaign finance reform. When a candidate self funds or operates on a shoestring budget...This is bad?
How fucking much longer do these cunts think this shit is going to work?
They are fucking scared to death of him and they should be.

But I thought liberals HATED money in politics? I thought Citizens United was the worst thing ever because we can't have these corporate fat cats hijacking our democracy?
Fucking liberals. I wouldn't expect them to support Trump because he's le ebil hitler man but they could at least point out he's doing what they said people running for office should be doing and not taking money from Wall Street and basically being a tool for the highest bidder.
What the fuck is the point of advocating for your principles if you're just going to insult and mock people for ACTING OUT those same fucking principles?
"What is it like to fire an AR-15? It’s horrifying, menacing and very very loud.
It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon.
But mostly, I was just terrified.
Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).
The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable."

I'm pretty sure Trump and his campaign managers underestimated the cost of a presidential run by thinking he could win by: starting early, with a very famous candidate, and with the support of thousands of very communicational fans. Now he has to make a standard campaign, participate to more debates, make alliances with the GOP and lower his tone a lot. But he has been so proud and so immature in his communication that he'll have a hard time harvesting more votes and more support.

Ever wonder why these threads never involve discussing the actual benefits of a Hillary presidency? It's because they know that we're not that stupid and will never vote for her. The best they can do is tear down the candidate we do like so that we'll be less likely to support him.
Don't fall for it

Barack Obama campaign was partially funded by a lot of foreign individuals living outside of the US, who gave a very small amount of money (5/10 dollars donations). That was a very small part of his campaign fundings, most of it came from the Americans

Connor Harris
CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG BUT
Wasn't this FEC filing for May? If I'm not mistaken, he didn't secure the nomination until late May. He was still going up against two opponents who both had very close financial ties with atypical GOP supporters.
He didn't start fundraising until June. So, really, we should be looking at June to decide where this is going.
Jaxson Miller
You aren't supposed to have money on hand.

It does seem like Trump didn't actually expect to secure the nomination as early as he did. He's having to transition into General Election mode months ahead of schedule and it is not going over well so far.
Jack Young
>As of the end of May, Trump's campaign account held just $1.3 million compared to Clinton's $42 million. Ben Carson, whose bid for the GOP nomination ended in early March, had $1.8 million in his campaign fund. Many Republican senators facing tough re-election fights this fall have considerably more money on hand than their party's presumptive nominee for president.
>Blanket terming "liberals" as leftist retards Keep it coming
Julian Bennett
How much did he have on hand at any given time during the campaign?
Josiah Williams
>Comparisons with the 2012 presidential race at this point are equally stark. Trump's campaign committee raised $5.6 million, to Clinton's $26.4 million. Mitt Romney's campaign pulled in $23.4 million, versus $39.1 million for Obama. Cash-on-hand for Team Romney was $85.6 million; for Team Obama, $142.1 million.

>Trump Spent Only $55 Million on Campaign So Far=> Clinton and Sanders Spent Over $174 Million Apiece(as for May 21th)
>According to campaign finance reporting through May 2016 by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump has now spent more than $55 million on his campaign. Democratic contenders Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have spent $174 million and $202 million, respectively, or more than $376 million combined. Trump’s expenditures are 27% of Sanders’ expenditures and 32% of Clinton’s.
>Trump loaned himself more than $43 million of his own money for his campaign. No other candidate has come close to providing this kind of money for their own campaign. The Trump movement is a great example of capitalism. Because Trump spent his own money he is more cautious in how he spends it and has achieved much better results.
>Sanders and Clinton raised $208 million and $204 million, respectively to date, totaling more than $416 million.
>zero cash on hand >badly bungled campaign (manager just fired) >zero ads >no plan to win anywhere other than "hurr rallies where I say 'crooked Hillary' durr" >too late to buy necessary ad time >too late to construct a coherent strategy >your own party plans to dump you at the convention and pretend you never existed Worst run political campaign of all time.

1. you're in France, so I assume you're Muslim upset Trump will win and you won't be able to ficki ficki American women 2. he had over 10 million votes, you think he couldn't fundraise more than 1.3 million if he wanted to?
