Manafort to Maria Bartoromo: “We rasied way over 100 million from one millions donors in the last two months. We are very comfortable with our fund raising.”
Trump has also pointed out that the fund raising “internals” shows many voters, small contributors. This isn’t donations from 10,000 big money donors. Trump’s fund raising shows enthusiasm in the voter base. Big money donations are “protect the status quo,” or “buy access.” Not to say that isn’t enthusiastic! But it doesn’t necessarily translate to “more votes than the other guy.”
