“We don’t know if Donald Trump is willing to open his pocketbook,” says former Romney deputy campaign manager Kate Packer, until he “demonstrates he’s willing to actually spend significant dollars.”


Well, one thing we know for sure, Ms Packer, is that your fudge-packer-loving candidate Willard was a waste of EVERYONE’s money in 2012. Did he have his nose far enough up Obama’s rear-end to satisfy you personally? (Just curious)

He is willing to fund $100 million? That’s less than 10% of what it will cost. Where is the other billion?

Now that is bang for your buck!

Goes to show you if you are genuine, you don’t need a billion dollars to win the election.

Punching snarky, slimey reporters in the face is a great idea for a fund raiser....

Yes he’s lying, go figure. He’s been quoting that ridiculous $500K spending figure when it’s nearly 10 times that amount. What else is he lying about?

Entire article is great. Well worth the read and proves Trump's keen business sense, yet again.

I donated $5. ...and don’t think I don’t expect something in the way of construction contracts in return.

He should ask for online donations. As he himself has said, a voter investing in their candidate of choice is a different thing than lobbyists bundling millions to set up a quid pro quo.

Trump has stressed that he is willing to self-fund his campaign with up to $100 million

Not true, Trump said $1 billion.

In his words 'the press are a bunch of dishonest people. They're terrible'.

Thank God America is awakening.

Lol...heard Trump respond to this line of thought the other day...he basically said "I'm leading significantly in every poll I don't NEED to spend money just for the sake of spending money. I'm a businessman I'm begin wise with my money. You guys (reporters) should be commending me for being able to achieve so much by spending so little that's the way it works in the real world."

It is amazing all of these people clamoring for Trump to spend untold Millions on his campaign.

I admire the fact he knows down to the penny what he is spending. He has a Budget meeting every Monday morning to go over what the expenditures will be for the coming week. He has only about 5 people on his payroll,compared to say Hillary who has over 300.

He has managed to leverage his Celebrity to the point that he getting all the publicity he wants to campaign. He is using all of the Free Polling to his advantage.

He has been able to run a major Presidential Campaign on a shoe string budget and all of his rivals are jealous.

That alone should get people’s attention in that he is careful with his money and maybe he will be careful with taxpayer money also.

There is a lot to admire here as to how he is running his campaign in contrast to how all the others are.
