If he tales pubic financing, can he augment that with his own personal money?
I have a hard time believing that anyone could be competitive with only $85 million. OTOH, $85 mil plus his own money could get the job done without any fundraising.

The dems are planning on spending close to 2B. If Trump tries this he will be crushed like a bug.
Have we forgotten how much media attention Trump garners without spending a dime? Look at the amount of money that JEB! has spent compared to Trump and where he stands in the polls. JEB!’s campaign is all but over having spent close to $110M, and Trump has spent less than $20M total. Trump has turned the status quo of the election process upside down and inside out.
