Or he can continue to run a lean machine operation and take the Tax Payer public money, $100 Million.

I doubt he will sell any properties or borrow against them. He hates debt and he will not sell assets. Yet he hates the Super PACS also.

The debts owed are to himself as he loaned his campaign that money.

Hasn’t dispersed the funds to all the vet organizations either but may not have received all the donations from others yet.

His monthly payroll is probable more that $35 million.

This thing costs over $100 million.

What it really comes down to now, is who has the most baggage, and skeletons in the closet. Trump or Hilliary?

I imagine we're going to find out between now and election day.

These are loans to himself. He will probably pay some right before 12/31 for tax purposes.

Donald Trump will create a new party of the middle class republicans and the middle class democrats.

I don't think it will be only middle class, and I don't think it will be a new party, but it will shake up the GOP for a very long time.

I just am hoping when he makes his case, that he doesn't abandon what bring him to the table.

At this point we have a system where there are 2 slots open for a race - evolved over the winner take all system we have that necessitates a 2 party system. The Democrats and Republicans long ago were different but over time it really is a uni-party on most issues - that had to happen for the cold war. Few policy shifts, etc.

Inside both parties there are at least 3 to 4 different ideological factions. The Cold War unified the GOP factions and New Deal unified the Dem factions.

The Dems still believe in socialism so their coalition can stay relatively intact. But the Cold War ended and there is less reason to have the GOP factions agree. The War on Terror unified the GOP factions but it proved a poor substitute for the power the Cold War had on the GOP mind. After Iraq there unified war party system broke up and now the GOP is many factions under one tent.

Trump being against interventionist neocon BS wars, against free trade and keeping the social safety net and exporting illegals to keep a safety net viable unites many of these factions under his tent.

May it be so! Those are the true conservatives, as defined at our founding by Benjamin Franklin.
