Trump campaign: We're facing an emergency goal of $100,000
CNN Politics ^ | June 18, 2016 | Eugene Scott

The Donald Trump campaign on Saturday released its first "emergency" fund-raising email, in response to an ad blitz from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

"Right now we're facing an emergency goal of $100,000 to help get our ads on the air. We need your contribution by 11:59 P.M. Tonight," the email from Team Trump said.

"Crooked Hillary is about to invade your TV with ads attacking Mr. Trump. But we're preparing to fight back," it reads.

The email promises to release ads attacking Clinton on her role in Benghazi, the integrity of her donors and reported FBI probing of her private email server while secretary of state.

The urgent fundraising email is routine for most presidential campaigns. But it's particularly notable since Trump insisted repeatedly during the GOP primary season that he was self-funding his campaign, only to start asking for donations later on.

Republican officials and activists are increasingly concerned that Trump is underestimating the fundraising challenge ahead as he faces off against Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee....

CNN says: “Don’t you know the rules? Hillary can raise billions in illegal criminal loot and foreign bribes, but if The Donald raises a hundred thousand in legitimate campaign donations, we’ll jump all over him!”

Yes, that too. It’s the RNC, which will predictably use any donations to fund their pet RINOs.

Never give a dime to the RNC.

I got a call from the RNC today. I told them to shove it. I refuse to give a dime to the RNC.

I believe you, it sounds absolutely nothing like any of the e-mails I have ever gotten from the Trump campaign. It sounds a little bit like e-mails I did get from the Cruz campaign. Further, I have gotten no such e-mail from the Trump campaign — I get e-mails from just about all of the campaigns/candidates. Heck, I even get e-mail from moveon.org and left wing individuals such as Robert Reich.

You’re right,Guennie. The fact that they want only $100,000 is the first clue. It’s an “independent grass roots” group of some kind. If you go to the website, you’ll see a link to the real Trump campaign site.

Ver-ee suspicious! Also, curious why CNN is making such a big deal over $100K.
