The RNC isn't the primary source for funds, and Trump has not answered when asked if he will self-fund the general.

Out of $918 million spent by Romney, 351 million came from the RNC. The rest came from PACs and individuals.
If I was Trump, I'd raid the snot out of the RNC coffers, to put some teeth into the spite I'd have for their efforts to sabotage my campaign.
I agree with you that Trump should take RNC money — but will that hurt him in his claim to self fund? He should start explaining soon what he’s gonna do.
Also (if you will) when self-funding does Trump come under the same reporting requirements as the others (the monthly, quarterly expenditure/income data)?
