We knew most things financial were grim for Trump, but we didn't know just how astonishingly grim they were, until this:
Just 29 people who contributed to a super PAC supporting Republican Mitt Romney’s presidential bid four years ago had donated either to Trump’s campaign, to the Republican National Committee via a joint fundraising committee he established with the party or to a pro-Trump super PAC, Great America PAC, according to a USA TODAY analysis of new campaign-finance reports….
Similarly, the analysis found only 23 individuals among the more than 3,400 donors who wrote checks to a super PAC supporting Jeb Bush’s candidacy in this election cycle had given to Trump or aligned groups so far.
Republican donors are now promising a flood of fresh money (uh-huh). But Hillary's well-financed, early-summer ad blitz is securing ground that Trump can never reclaim.
On the other hand, what does Trump care? His finances at Turnberry are looking good.
This is freaking hilarious. Trump off loads his entire campaign spending program on the DNC or tries to. And now the DNC is having trouble raising money because the serious players don't want the money they donate to be used for Trump. They want to salvage Senate and House seats. So they are by-passing the DNC. Self funding it is Donald. Rheince is going to have to brown bag it for lunch I think.

I agree, but you meant the RNC, right?

Of course. Thanks. On the plus side Trump is actually raising money for the DNC.
