    You should sacrifice so a billionaire shouldn't have to. Makes sense, that's been the gop platform for decades.

    Trump has already met with the GOP leaders and has them onboard for financing when he actually gets the nomination.

    So, when he becomes the GOP candidate, he's going to jump into the pockets of corporate America.

    You actually thought he was going to fund himself? Really? One of his largest campaign expenses is paying HIMSELF for use of his airline, Trump Towers, and any other venue of his that he holds his events at. The only reason he's holding events on his properties is because the election commission says that you must pay for what you use, meaning if he uses his own places and planes, he gets to pay himself fair market value for their use.

    He's spent a whole lot more money paying himself than he's even thought of spending on advertising. Meet the Press on Sunday morning had a whole segment on it.

    he is asking for handouts from the average people so that he can serve them, not the corporations which clinton takes handouts from in order to serve

    - - - Updated - - -

    disenchanted bernie fans spent all their allowance money for booze and marijuana on bernie, nothing left for trump.

    hope the hard working taxpayers can save us and donate to trump.

    Trump is a LOSER.

    His rallies have been drawing ever smaller crowds.

    Some of his recent crowds have been embarrassingly small (relative to the venue).

    Trump is a LOSER. Donating to him is a WASTE of money.

    He self-funded his primary, which is exactly what he said he was going to do.

    Shameful that it must be explained. Again.

    Yet Obama's the one that bailed out Wall St. and the banks.

    And Hillary is being funded by them.

    Go figure. :roll:

    It would be easier if Trump simply gave speeches to Wall St and Saudi Arabia. What you libs are ignoring is that he's asking PEOPLE to donate and not corporations.

    Only the primaries as we have told you a billion times. But no worries, its not difficult to tell you again, and again and again.

    The lame duck.
    ~
    It started, as we noted Monday and Tuesday, with the attempt to transform the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11 into a domestic kulturkampf. First the Justice Department scrubbed the attacker’s declarations of allegiance to the Islamic State from a publicly released 911 transcript—a decision consistent with the president’s policy of denying Islamic terror is Islamic, but one executed so ham-handedly that the department was forced to back down within hours.

    Then came another futile set of Senate votes on measures to constrain the rights of Americans under the Second and Fifth amendments. Whereupon House Democrats made their Senate counterparts look almost dignified by comparison.

    “Using sit-in demonstrations inspired by civil rights protests,” as a Wall Street Journal news story put it, a group of Democrats hijacked the House chamber. Actually, they might have been inspired by House Republicans, who attempted the same thing in 2008. . . .

    This time, however, majority Republicans left the lights on, and one of the sitting-in Democrats used his phone to stream video to a social-media site, which C-Span eventually picked up. Thus everyone was able to watch the ridiculous spectacle.

    To be sure, it seemed very serious to people who sympathized with the sitters’ authoritarian aims—including most of the reporters covering it. Almost every news organization took to describing the spectacle as “historic,” as if in response to a memo from the Ministry of Truth. And that may not be as far-fetched as it sounds. NewsBusters.org notes that Pelosi, now the minority leader, “openly thanked people in the news media for creating an ‘echo chamber’.”

    All of Obama’s difficulties last week can be seen as examples of his being eclipsed by Donald Trump, who despite trailing in the polls has become the most dominant figure in American politics.

    Trump had put the president (and Hillary Clinton) on the defensive for downplaying radical Islam after Orlando, and he has changed the immigration debate by putting more-restrictive policies at the center of his campaign. The credit for bottling up Garland’s nomination goes to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans, but Trump was quick to endorse that effort: “I think it’s up to Mitch McConnell, and everybody else to stop it,” the future presumptive nominee said at a debate Feb. 13, hours after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. “It’s called delay, delay, delay.”

    Trump has been going after Hillary, Obama, and Elizabeth Warren like Mitt Romney and John McCain never did.

    Here's Trump's THREE problems raising money-

    1. Donors have seen his racist comments...and don't want to link themselves to them by supporting Trump.

    2. Donors have seen Trump's polling....and don't see any reason to throw their money away on a lost cause.

    3. Donors ask themselves a logical question- "Why should I give my money to a billionaire who said he could self-fund his campaign?"

    And what Trumpkins are ignoring is that he's paying himself a salary out of his campaign funds, and enriching his own companies from it. I'm not a lib. If I were a lib, I'd vote for Trump. I'm a proud conservative who can't vote for liberal, lying Trump.

    Oh you mean those same jobs Trump had NO PROBLEM outsourcing?

    Why should workers struggling to make money, give money to a billionaire so he can run for president?

    This is nickel/dime stuff. What he needs to do is go to all his rich buddies boardrooms, give a 20 minute "speech" (really just sit around and chit-chat about golf over a nice scotch) and walk away with $21 million in checks. They're not "political donations" if he gives some sort of "speech", right?

    I agree with you; here is a man who claims to have billions of dollars and all of a sudden he cannot afford to fund this campaign he's embarking on. I also believe during the early stages of the campaign, he claimed he'd fund the entire campaign.

    Looks like the cheap chiseler is going to sponge off of his supporters; as we say in french, suçoir!

    He's still outsourcing EVEN NOW. For one to learn a misdeed they first have to STOP.
