Donald Trump's campaign started the month with a paltry $1.3 million in cash — a mere fraction of Hillary Clinton's $42.5 million war chest — putting the GOP frontrunner at a sharp disadvantage heading into the general election against Clinton's money machine. … And it's not just money — the filings revealed a campaign staff of less than 70, a number was dwarfed by Clinton's nearly 700 paid employees, and few of the campaign's expenses suggested work had begun to build out a more robust operation. All together, it's the most lopsided fundraising start to a presidential election in the modern campaign finance era."

if Trump pulls this off, it will be something of a miracle!!!!
#4 You heard that to? Ben Shapiro has a big case of Trump Derangement.
Every day it is the same with him.
Oh yeah. Little Ben Shapiro has really boxed himself into a corner. His poor judgement was on full display when he joined his tart girlfriend Michelle Field’s Cory Lewandowski hoax.
He’s a precocious little boy who was in diapers when Reagan was in office and he displays all the wisdom that you would expect of someone who has an exaggerated opinion of his own intellect.
If Trump’s 20 million Twitter followers would send him a mere two dollars and 25 cents apiece, he would have more money than she. So I don’t see a problem. If he needs money, many of his followers would send five, ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred or more. He also has plenty of personal resources, including numerous offers from wealthy friends to provide funds.
But he went to University of California and Harvard law school.
He is are better or massively in debt.
He does some good.

What an insane waste of money. All to get a miserable, murderous criminal into the position of the greatest power over the people she despises (us).
Oh look! The fan of Jeb Bush returns after a long hiatus, just to smashmouth Trump!
Troll.

Bingo. He uses all media to his $ advantage. Press conferences are free. How to create one? A) just call for one, especially after a major event; B) say something carefully worded to sound far more outrageous than it is. Media will then BEG you for time.
And that is just traditional media. He’s got Twitter down too.
Exactly! Trump has played the media like a worn out fiddle thus far. The “media” of course being good little Bolsheviks will try their best not to give Trump control but ratings matter. Plus Trump does have his own money if he decides to dip into it.
He will have to because the RNC will be utterly useless in this campaign. I really believe he needs Cruz and his ground game and the conservative voters it would bring to the table. Cruz as VP would further infuriate the GOPE but unless Trump picks Paul Ryan or Bob Cornhole and agrees to make him co-president they are going to be supporting Hillihag openly or privately so they need to be written out of the equation for victory in November.
True that there is plenty of time left but this shows a disturbing trend. No independent donors or PACs want to get on the Trump Train.
A businessman is better at handling resources than a failed SOS.
Well we still got 5 months to go and there could be a dramatic turn around at anytime during those months. I grew up in New York city and knew Trump since the early 80s and I can tell you this is guy who HATES to lose more than anything in his life. He is just absolutely and utterly fanatical about winning to the point where even if he does lose, he can’t accept it which we saw some of during the primaries. That ALONE should convince anybody he should be President because this is a guy who will work his freakin’ butt off for me and you, who will doing anything to succeed so not to be called a failure, this is a GIFT, a one shot gift and it comes down between him and career criminal who will sell out this country the second she steps into office. Trump will win the election though, that’s my prediction. Whatever it takes to win this race, you can bet he will do, down to the very last inkling of a possibility. She is absolutely nuts for running because he will expose every last thing she ever did in her professional life, most of which seems to be criminal. He’s a brilliant guy and I suspect he’s going to come up with a plan that nobody ever thought of before and it’s just going to absolutely obliterate her campaign. What he DOESN’T need is backstabbing traitors like these two pigs Romney and Ryan constantly colluding with Democrats to try and bring him down. I just find that absolutely outrageous and clear cut harcore evidence that both parties Democrat AND Republican have been conspiring against the people all this time.
Thank you for that excellent post. I especially loved this line:
“He’s a brilliant guy and I suspect he’s going to come up with a plan that nobody ever thought of before and it’s just going to absolutely obliterate her campaign.
He will, just watch. The guy is a genius. He’s saved his butt a number of times and came out on top. Put it this way: You ever been in debt? A few thousand? Ten thousand while your income is a thousand? Trump has been in that situation a number of times except in the hundreds of millions, yet by some miracle the guy made these deals saving his ass. He *really* is the greatest deal maker who ever lived. I guarantee you even if he is behind in the polls, he will make deals to ensure he wins and he will save the country. This guy is going to go down as one of the greatest Presidents in US history, ultimately THAT is why he is running because he knows he can do it.
Love it!
I will likely ping you in the future as I tend to get nervous about these things, but I love your analysis!!!!!!
The miserable little prick is trashing ‘Boomers this morning. Evidently our lives were all charmed and we never fought in any wars, as if Little Ben is a regular GI Joe. Apparently Vietnam was nothing or some other generation fought it.
