Repubs cannot understand why Trump starting fundraising so late

[240 is Back]

Yet another clue he's sabotaging his own campaign.  He's now estimated to be half a BILLION behind Hilary in TV & campaign money.  Can ANY candidate win if he's outspent by 500 million?

Mr. Trump’s tardy fundraising start has some Republicans concerned he won’t be able to match the robust finance operation of Mrs. Clinton, who raised more than $240 million through May on top of $60 million for her joint committee with the Democratic National Committee. She has held at least 20 fundraisers for her campaign and joint committee since the start of May.

I believe Trump will have a financial disparity of $300 million to $500 million.”

NOW Clinton has a massive $ advantage.   He's outspending him in 8 battleground states by a mile.

Trump wrestles away control of his fundraising from the RNC - and then he doesn't bother to do it.

Massive incompetence - or something else?

Hillary Clinton is opening her wallet and seizing the moment.

Just hours after the votes were cast in the final Democratic primary, the Clinton campaign started reserving advertising blocks in eight battleground states on Wednesday, marking the presumptive Democratic nominee’s first significant attempt to define Donald Trump.

Clinton’s camp has already released one of the spots, which offers a harsh contrast between Trump — encouraging violence at his rallies and mocking a reporter’s disabilities — and the former secretary of state. Other spots are expected to be softer focus, positive ads about Clinton.

By reserving time in key swing states — at least Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia — the Clinton camp is sending an unmistakable message to the presumptive GOP nominee that it intends to press into traditionally Republican territory without spending too much time worrying about defending traditionally Democratic destinations where Trump insists he will compete, said a handful of high-level Democrats close to the Clinton effort.

more of a clue that he's a total amateur at this game (for example - see how Cruz was getting delegates due to his knowledge of that system - remember Trump complaining about this a few months ago)  along with being a delusional narcissist

He's also claimed that he doesn't need as much $'s as other candidates since he gets so much free media coverage

No need to make up some stupid CT when there is a simpler and more obvious explanation for his actions

[240 is Back]

Uh, no.

The private sector (where trump spent 45 years) is WAY more effective & efficient than the public sector.

I don't buy incompetence - He wrestled control of many things away from the RNC, then botched them.  He knows how to hire people, he made a show about it.  Leaving massive voids in his insfrastructure, not even bothering to make fundraising calls?


anyway - you support hilary, right?   Why would you do anything except deny the dem plant story?   He's working for your goal, right?

uh yes, Trump is an amateur politician

The facts are available for anyone who cares to look at them

Trump looks, talks and acts like an amateur and that's why he is clueless on needing to court big money donors or even understanding how to set up a ground game to win a general election

explain how he defeated the top GOP class in 30 years as an amateur.

by saying things the others were too afraid to say (which he knew the base was dying to hear) and selling his bullshit "brand" to a bunch of low information dumbfounded dipshits looking for a  Daddy figure and also appealing to the Washington "outsider" sentiment in this country

Mabye you'd like to explain why just a few months ago Trump was crying like a baby with a load in his diaper as Cruz was quietly picking up delegates in states where he lost to Trump.   Was it because Trump didn't (and doesn't) have a clue how the game is played?

BTW - I wouldn't call that group of 17 idiots the top GOP class in 30 years

I do

it make much more sense than your moronic "democratic plant trying to lose" bullshit....added with .."just in case he's not losing he will bow out, endorse Hillary and then wait for her to give him billions in government contracts" back up CT

Yeah, I'll go with incompetence since it's painfully obvious that's exactly what it is. I think one of those George Will links you posted even talks about this

Of course, Trump will also be a woefully incompetent POTUS as well.  Let me know if you want some articles where George Will and others talk about that.  I know you believe everything that George Will says, even when he just says it one just one time and calls it a  "thought experiment"

I do -  it make much more sense than your moronic "democratic plant trying to lose" bullshit.

Trump is a lifetime liberal with close ties to the CLintons.   That does kinda make sense.

Trump has a lifetime of experience running monster companies with tens of thousands of employees, yet has dropped the ball on his election team, which is hundreds of times smaller, and his ONLY focus right now.   That kinda doesn't make sense

his only "close tie" to the Clintons was inviting them to his wedding

Here's what Trump said about them attending (actually Bill didn't even attend the wedding)

Trump later told the press, “Hillary Clinton, I said, ‘Be at my wedding,’ and she came to my wedding. She had no choice because I gave to [the Clinton] foundation."

While Bill Clinton skipped the church ceremony, he attended the reception afterward at Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago. Trump later told Politico, “As a contributor, I demanded that they be there—they had no choice and that’s what’s wrong with our country.

Please stop with nonsense of him having a lifetime of experience running monster companies (unless you're referring to him running his only publicly traded company into the ground).

He's self claimed persona of his HOOOGE SUCCESS is a scam that he sells to suckers like you.
Here's a little 3 minute video about Trump's actual history in "Bizness"

Do yourself a favor and watch it so you can stop looking like such a fool

He's also given more $'s to Repubs thand Dems (and of course endorsed McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012)...and who is that Alaskan dingbat who endorsed Trump and is working on his campaign (another sign he's a total amateur) ?

[Straw Man]

Hey 240 - look what your hero George Will called Trump less than two months ago

Trump is a world-class complainer (he is never being treated "fairly") but a bush-league preparer. A nomination contest poses policy and process tests, and he is flunking both.

Regarding policy, he is flummoxed by predictable abortion questions because he has been pro-life for only 15 minutes, and because he has lived almost seven decades without giving a scintilla of thought to any serious policy question.

Regarding process, Trump, who recently took a week-long vacation from campaigning, has surfed a wave of free media to the mistaken conclusion that winning a nomination involves no more forethought than he gives to policy.

He thinks he can fly in, stroke a crowd's ideological erogenous zones, then fly away. He knows nothing about the art of the political deal.[/quote]

And golfing with him all those times.   Pics came out today.

Go watch the Bloomberg video and then also respond to your hero George Wills recent statements about Trump level of competence for both "policy and process"

Funny how he never bothered to mention in that recent article that Trump is a Democratic Plant.  You'd think he would mention that when he said that Trump "knows nothing about the art of the political deal"

I wonder why he didn't mention his "thought experiment" from last July? 

[240 is Back]

I guess maybe George Will has better things to do, than repeat himself for getbiggers that didn't see the light the first time he said it.   Maybe he's not in the business of repeating himself to Hilary supporters.

Or maybe he's just too busy since GOT came out.   You watch the old seasons, after seeing season 6, and so many more little things start to make sense.

really, then why did you write this

this isn't a wager on predicting when Trump will do something.

You said the only people who BELIEVE THIS are me and soulC.   Well, at least add George will to the list - he's been writing articles and screaming it for nearly a year now, calling Trump a dem plant.

At least add HIM to the list with me and SC?  his is way more than speculation offhanded.  He truly believes it and has written multiple articles pushing for that.

You claimed he wrote multiple articles and has been "screaming it for nearly a year" yet I could only find him mentioning it one time as pure speculation and calling it a "thought experiment"

What makes more sense is that he tossed out his silly "thought experiment" one time and realized how fucking stupid it was never realizing that dipshits like you would latch on to it as the Holy Grail and then add your own idiotic CT's (i.e. Trump is trying to lose, Trump will bow out and endorse Hillary...Hillary is going to give Trump billions in government contracts)

Trump supports Trump

The only one in denial is you (and honestly it's getting pretty fucking pathetic at this point)

If you would just provide some proof that Trump is a "mole" and a "plant" I'll be glad to take it seriously

I assume you can't do that because I've asked you many times now and you've provided bupkis

Campaign is now sending EMERGENCY emails for fundraising.

June 18, 2016, 11:56 am
Trump campaign calls for $100K in donations by the end of the day

By Jessie Hellmann


The Donald Trump campaign has sent its first "emergency" fundraising email to supporters Saturday, seeking to raise at least $100,000 by the end of the day.


That request follows a multimillion dollar ad blitz launched by likely general election rival Hillary Clinton this week.

"Right now we're facing an emergency goal of $100,000 to help get our ads on the air," the email said. "We need your contribution by 11:59 P.M. Tonight."

"Crooked Hillary is about to invade your TV with ads attacking Mr. Trump. But we're preparing to fight back," it reads, adding that the campaign plans to attack Clinton over her role in Benghazi and the FBI probe into her use of a private email server while secretary of state.
