REPUBLICAN frontrunner Donald Trump is spending a fraction of his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton as he continues to dominate political debate in the United States.
While Mrs Clinton wrote off £19million in the past quarter to bolster her bid for the White House, the billionaire property tycoon is estimated to have invested just £3million.
Since Trump's controversial demand for Muslims to be temporarily banned from entering the US following an Islamic State inspired mass shooting in San Bernardino, donations have been pouring in to his campaign coffers.
Experts estimate more than 100,000 supporters have given donations averaging £40 to his campaign, even though he is largely self financing his presidential ambitions.

Wow how about that, people respond to basic common sense.
TTTT
If the people lead, the leaders will eventually follow...
That is awesome. "Largely self financing" means he won't be beholden to unions, big business, leftist front groups, etc. Ditto for the donations coming from ordinary people, they are not buying influence or special favors either.
Great statement. Is it original?
In a world full of liars, the truth becomes outrageous.
I added ‘eventually’ otherwise it’s a saying that had some currency in the late 60s early 70s.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Not only is it a brilliant stroke from Trump to tap into the virtues of self-funding his non-PAC influenced campaign but he’s the only one running that can even pull it off. It resonates very well with the normal and sane citizens.
I love it.
At this rate he may even make money running for office. LOL
Average $40 for 100,000 is 4 million.
One of the newsies said, comparing Trump’s spending to other candidates, had only spent around $300k, while Bush and his PACs have spent between $30 and $50 million.
Yet, The Donald still is the headliner and is named in newsie questions to other contenders.
Quite a fete.

FoxNews: Major shakeup in the race as Cruz moves ahead of Trump
Yeah yeah. Newsies are as giddy as they were a few weeks ago when Carson was supposedly out-racing Trump in Iowa. Now, Carson racing to get to the same level as Kasich and Fiorina.
We need to do Trump $ bomb. Money bombs have always been popular on FR in past elections. The media needs to know we support our candidate.
A reminder! Many lobbyists along with the NRCC (headed by Greg Walden) & NRSC, filled with candidates like Cruz, Paul, Graham, Rubio are LYING to Trump supporters in emails selling them bogus Trump gear which finances THEIR Rino candidates. When will just ONE of these Senators expose their scam against Trump? They have taken millions of $ from candidates...do not be fooled.

Who exactly is panicking?
The big deal this morning was that Carter said no Iranians during the hostage crisis while Trump said no Muslims during this killing crisis. Iranians are muslims....
The media, the Republican Party to name two.
