Have we seen Trump's Sept 2016 fundraising numbers yet?   He's either very confident, or throwing in the towel.

Did trump see the new nate538 and other numbers, and decide NOT to infuse his campaign with cash, as previously planned?



Last week there was a story on politico about trump making a large additional contribution to the campaign in order to be competitive and to purchase $140 million in TV ads for the last month of the campaign http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/donald-trump-campaign-self-fund-228801

Donald Trump’s aides are discussing the possibility of asking him to write his biggest check yet to his own campaign to fund an ad blitz, and the billionaire candidate is open to the possibility, according to three people close to the nominee.
While Trump’s campaign has experienced a surge in small-dollar fundraising this month that could make an infusion of personal cash unnecessary, major Republican donors are nervous after a rocky first debate against Hillary Clinton and could ramp up pressure on their nominee to invest in the air war.

Trump’s campaign last week said that it was planning a $140-million television and digital advertising push between this week and Election Day, in an effort to cut into the massive advertising advantage enjoyed by Clinton.

That additional campaign contribution is evidently not happening and so the campaign is cancelling advertising commitments

Trump is conceding Florida. 

Sources say he has canceled $741,000 in TV ads in Florida alone and voters in our state started casting ballots this week.
