The decision by Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson to endorse Donald Trump could have huge implications for the presumptive presidential nominee's ability to raise money, Newt Gingrich says.

Excellent! Hope this continues. Trump will need a lot of funds to oppose Hillary successfully.

Problem is, Adelson is a big open borders supporter.

Adelson is a big Israel-issue voter. Hillary and Sanders (Jewish background or not) are not supportive of Israel, while Trump is. I’m not surprised he came out in favor of Trump.

I think, at this point, someone really ought to place Jonah Goldberg, Erick Erickson, AllahPundit and the entire staff at Ricochet on suicide watch.

They commit suicide, and we all get to watch. ;)

A) don’t support have 0 influence on any issue
B) support, accept losses on some but not all

Trump doesn’t need a lot of funds. That’s one of the main points of his candidacy: he doesn’t have to sell himself to Jabba the Adelson.

So far he’s pretty much spent zilch. If we were to carve off $500 million from his own net worth, he’d probably have it in the tank.

If his net worth is anywhere near what he claims it is, that would be a relatively painless amount to end up as President.

I’d rather see them wake up and start supporting Trump.

But if he can raise money for other Republicans in his name, it helps him consolidate power in the party and in Congress. Those piggies love the teats. They are whores...give them money and they’ll love you. That takes a LOT of money. Billions across the country. Adelson can be very helpful. He can survive a crackdown on cheap labor and open borders, his margins are astronomically Yuge.

Yep, Adelson is the one who kept Newt alive 8 years ago.

Of course he says that. Sheldon pulls Newt’s strings.

You can be worth billions, but to come up with 500 million in liquid cash aint easy! Even for a billionaire.

I don’t think Trump’s going to beg for money. If they give it, I don’t think there will be any promises of ‘strings attached’. - Anyone contributing to his campaign should know by now the Mexican invasion of illegals is probably the number one or two issue taking him to the white house.

It’s always easy to spend other people’s money.

Add Glenn Beck. What are he and Levin saying these days.

I’m sure, Cruz spanked his daughters the other night.

Could this be an internet live streaming event?

CAn you imagine, Trump flies into a town where some guy is running for office... along with others...They’re there to greet him. Thousands show up. Trump introduces these guys, the people see them. They vote for them.

THe people on TV and the GOP are stupid if they don’t think there’s going to be huge coat tails with Trump.

Romney perplexes me. Total POS....the biggest total POS I’ve ever seen. Americans knew it too.

I thought as the nominee he is automatically entitled to money from the RNC?
