Well donor money will continue dwindling fast. Cruz is poised with big money against Trump self-funding. I believe I read that Carson was cutting staff heavily. Jeb is on fumes and tonight after Rubio performance a lot of big donors are placing panic phone calls as to who to coalesce behind. If Cruz shows well Tuesday then support will start to move his way.
Trump’s grassroots donors have given him more money then he has spent on his campaign.
Don’t kid yourself. Trump has plenty of money from donors. Donald Trump’s presidential campaign filed its first report with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday, providing a rare look inside the mogul’s unusual political operation and revealing a campaign powered more by grassroots donors than the famous billionaire at its helm. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/trump-campaign-donor-funded
There’s still too many of them and I’m not so sure they’re going to get knocked out any time soon as long as they can ‘show their face in the debates’.....as Carson did tonight, who I think is looking for face time, a political pay off, and his campaign to still take in funding even though he’s done and he knows that. His team quit until he hauled back some of them...he really doesn’t have a campaign doing much at all except “book him” for the face time he covets.
Cruz I have no concerns about.....his ground game is very focused and specific....and his team outstanding. I agree with you that if he does ok Tuesday some donors will start moving toward him....Carsons have and some others....but it’s still early so we shall see.....March is coming!
If will be interesting to see the attitude by the establishment on whom to support after Tuesday. If Marco wins among the GOPe they have a real problem after the debate tonight. They know the Dems will tear him apart.
If Bush comes out on top of the GOPe pile then they have the person they wanted to begin with but he is so weak and a Bush. Also, the GOPe had a lot of people endorse Rubio this week and they cannot just switch so quickly in their support.
If Christie or Kasich were to get to the top of the pile I am not sure where they win again but Christie would do better than Kasich.
I just hope the GOPe has a group of candidates going forward at least through the SEC primary. Split their money and opportunity to coalesce around a single candidate.
