These candidates need funding. Free advice if anyone with the Trump campaign sees this: send out an e-mail / text blast with the link to the candidates' fundraising page asking them to chip in a few bucks. 1 million people donating just 10 bucks to each candidate more than solves this problem. The elites will continue to run the show if people sit on their hands and keep their wallets closed. It takes a lot of money, but not a lot of money per person, to more than match the elites and the donor class. And there are certainly more than 1 million Trump supporters on his e-mail / text list, I'm sure.
