If all of Trump’s supporters who sent money were of the same class of donor as Hillary’s donors, Trump could pay off the deficit.

OK, so Hillary raised $62 Million for her campaign, and $81 Million for joint fundraising committees with the DNC.

So is Trump's $90 Million comparable to Hillary's $62 Million, or her $143 Million?

Hard to figure out this stuff, it just flows like water.

If Trump fundraised at his rallies he would have much more money.

While Hillary raise $149 million vs. Trump $90 million, she has been wasting it on commercials that seem to losing her votes.

People see Trump in Lousiana and sending aid to Florida, they see him in Mexico being Presidential while all she does in public is raise money.

I bet Trump has as much cash on hand as her

Pickles has been running the same exact ad day and nite.

I'm insomniac so I see it at 2am and in the evening TV.

Its the same one where Trump says eff them but they blerp that word out.

And every comment they are using from Trump garner cheers from all of us at home.

The tag line at the end states

Something like One Wrong Move...sorry I just cannot remember it but yeah, it makes me want to vote for Trump twice! Right the money flows like water but we cannot fix the budget....UGH!

The thing is, Trump doesn;t need to spend nearly as much as her- all her $millions have gotten her nothing

He sands ot a tweet and reaches millions

He could run his whol campaign from a webcam and server in his office.

Just hold nightly web sessons (like the rush ditto-cam) where he corrects the media lies of the day

With Trump's effectiveness for every dollar spent it's more like he raised 9 billion. He gets more done with fewer dollars than any politician in history.

It does seem that Clinton's advertising has already reached saturation. If this is just the start, we are going to be bonkers by the election!

lol the one I can't understand is Gary Johnson's. One of his claims is to vote for him to keep the government out of your bedroom. Huh? Did I miss a major issue or something? My guess is that line is just an old Libertarian re-tread.

Based on the statement that he took in $80 billion in July, apparently it relates to the $143 million.

Trump doesn’t need as much money as Hillary, so if the ‘pubs are smart they’ll down ballot the contributions - get the rich Republicans to pay to keep the Senate Republican.

Agreed. I found where the $80 Million July haul was $64 Million raised by Trump and $16 Million by joint efforts. One would assume that Trump raised more than the $64 Million he did in July.

Looks like the RNC needs to get the Pb out.

I see that same ad on all the news networks day and night here in Texas. I think the ad helps Trump more than it hurts. I agree with everything he says in the ad.

“he gets more done with fewer dollars than any politician in history”

That’s because he no politician, he’s a businessman. He is not used to just pi$$ing money away like the bitch is doing. When Trump has spent money in his life it always been his so he tends not to waste it.

that is also why the establishment fears and hates him.

the high dollar lobbiest, pollsters, ad agencies, lawyers, bundlers, and MSM are not getting any money from trump.

they really fear that he will govern in the same prudent business like manner.
