Donald Trump Is Frugal With His Cash in Republican Presidential Race Front-runner won’t pay for TV ads or efforts to get on ballot, say people familiar with his campaign By REID J. EPSTEIN and HEATHER HADDON Aug. 11, 2015 Donald Trump never skips a chance to remind audiences of his wealth, but he is proving reluctant to spend his own money on campaign essentials typical of a major presidential candidate.
The New York developer has rejected paid television advertising as unnecessary, and he has resisted investing in efforts

Why pay professional political parasites. They’re part of the problem. I’d (and probably many others) contribute time for NOTHING in return.
Let’s count the ways to take Donald Trump down:
1. Said Mexicans were killers and rapists (false, he didn’t say that)
2. Said McCain was not a hero (false, he didn’t say that)
3. Abused and raped his former wife (false, he didn’t do that)
4. His daughter works with Oprah so it’s all a democrat conspiracy (yeah right)
5. Got a call from Bill BJ Clinton to get involved and do a ‘Perot’ on the GOP (yeah right)
6. Drives all businesses into bankruptcy (uh huh)
7. Hates women and demeans them (uh huh)
8. Is a friend of the Mob, the Cosa Nostra, the Yakuz, the Triads and MS-13 (Okeee .....)
9. Refuses to pay for TV Ads (yeah he really needs ads!).
10. Refuses to be on the ballot (he’s a stalking horse!).
One could add so many more.
And then there are the ‘predictions’:
1. He will screw up.
2. He will flame out.
3. He will commit suicide.
4. He will be caught fornicating (what?).
5. He will .......... (fill in the blank, make it good).
That is why he is a multi- billionaire. duh.
LOL. He’ll probably figure out a way to run the campaign on a profitmaking basis.
He’s getting all the free publicity anyone could possibly want - he’s not going to spend a penny on ads in this campaign.
He doesn’t need to spend money.
He makes an outrageous statement and the media comes running.
Nobody gets rich by throwing money away. He’ll make the correct decisions when the important decisions must be made.
If he was spending big bux on ads and campaign stuff the headline would read ‘Trump Tries to Buy Election!’ But since he’s not they have to bitch about that too.
It’s a can’t win.
Of course.
Interesting that when one is spending his own money he doesn’t waste it in the same ways that campaigns do.
+1+1+1(!)
“But I do have to admit it bothers me that he doesn’t seem to be interested in getting on the ballots.”
Almost every day we see articles about Cruz opening offices with workers in state after state. I see none about Trump doing anything in states.
There are rules in every state about what has to be done to get on the ballot - perhaps Trump thinks the states should put him on the ballot because he is the best (according to him). If he doesn’t follow the state’s rules, he won’t be on those ballots. That may be when Trump says they aren’t “fair” with him and he splits and runs as an independent - except there are rules for Independents to get on every state’s ballot. Who knows what the self identified “king” of the world will decide to do.
Heck, he's make a mint selling his pom poms to the fanbois he has fooled with his ruse.
Trump getting "free" publicity from media? Yep.
Just take a look at the pages of FR and count how many times you see "Trump."
He didn’t become a multi-billionaire by throwing cash away without some value added.
I agree. I just wish he had offices in every state with the sole meaning of getting on the ballot.
I hope not as well. A number of radio/tv head talkers have proclaimed they will not take comments from the public on the subject of D. T. and the chaos created. They are attempting to stomp on the fire. Even web sites have stated to some degree, they are also attempting to put a lid on it.
D. T. is someone thay don’t wish to mention any longer. One way to quieten US/WTP and the Trump. He has outed such a large number of anti-Conservative persons if any of US/WTP have been listening to comments and observations, we KNOW the man is correct in his statements when saying the Republican party is just as corrupt as the dem party. When he can show George Will as a tool, Fox News as a tool, then the man has scored big time.
