That would require Trump to stop being a cheapskate and laying off all of his campaign staffers in every state.
It isn’t bad to run a campaign without having to solicit billions from Super PACs and constantly hounding people for cash.
The fact that the Gope is tossing their back into getting their puppets to sop up delegates should tell you where the real problem is.
Isn’t this the guy we want in office?
Someone who is conservative with money?
Not a spend spend spend liberal like everyone else?
Excuse me.
Trump’s “infrastructure” is the courts and the swooning (for now... but just wait!) media.
Trump says, he’ll sue and when cornered, he’ll use foul language and make unbelievable promises.
Believe me.
How is Roger Stone in relation to the Trump campaign anyway?
Stone also said in that interview that Cruz absolutely will not be given the nomination. Goes on to say that Cruz is the most despised man in Washington inspite of him being establishment to the core.
Wait until after New York, they will say the same thing about Cruz. It’s business man, just business.
It is his to lose.
Donald Trump 752 delegates
Ted Cruz 469 delegates
Trump ahead by 283 delegates
Stone is right. Trump needs to copy Cruz: better ground game and employ dirty tricks with delegates.
I’m a Trump supporter and agree that what has worked up until now might have to be changed going forward. He does need to shift gears but now that he is the only outside candidate that should help in the transition.
According the the recent New Yorker article, this is why Roger Stone left the campaign in the beginning. He wanted Donald trump to start spending up front to establish ground operations in the States.
The last time I happened to be in the big city he lives in, I happened by his house, which happens to be on a main thoroughfare.
The Trump signs were gone.
If I happen to run into him I'll ax him whats up with that.
Delegate count tells another story
I admire him being self-funded. I don’t want a candidate beholden to the donor class. Having said that, I do think he needs RNC monies to win the general if he becomes the nominee. I wonder how much, if any support he can get from them, though.
In a normal year, if a Romney, a McCain or as they expected this year, a Bush, were in the lead around mid-March, the remaining few candidates would drop out, and the GOPe candidate would coast to victory. All party resources, including those precious grass roots, would be devoted to that person. If he needs to keep delegates in Arizona in line, they've got a guy for that. If he wants the party to convince the last holdout to drop out, they've got means of persuasion. Every single party hack who has ever been on TV would be out extolling his virtues and declaring the necessity of rallying around the guy so that the evil democrats can be defeated. He would then have a triumphal convention, and all would be right with the world.
I mentioned a few months back that Trump was going to need the RNC's resources for the general election. Names of local leaders, get out the vote efforts, etc. I wasn't sure he would be able to get cooperation, since they likely want to sabotage his election, preferring Hillary, and so wondered if his money would be enough to get him through the ins and outs of the election. Well, the issue has come to the fore even sooner. He needs infrastructure from here to the convention, and to get it will cost money. He also needs to spend money on responding to relentless negative advertising. He's come this far, it is no time to cheap out.
I sure as hell wish he’d spend more on ads defending himself from some of the charges that are obvious nonsense.
Instead he made a barking Hillary commercial? That was stupid.
Time to step it up Donald, it’s obviously crunch time and a strong offensive could put this away.
Mr. Stone: My support for Trump is stronger than ever. I don’t like my candidate being attacked.
