[Imperfected]

Don't worry, he'll just declare bankruptcy. Again.

 

[Akuun]

Don't worry, he has all the money, the best money, trust him, believe him.

 

[johnsmith]

Only 30 staff members ? Is that standard ?

Wait, wait. Trump's entire campaign staff is 30 people? Has it always been this small?

Doesn't Hillary have hundreds of direct employees?

Clinton has 700+. She has more staff than he does in a single state..

 

[Orbis Tabula]

What happens if a Presidential campaign runs out of money? Do they have to withdraw?

Nope, nothing like that. You just don't have the money to fly around on your airplane or air ads.

 

[SwiftDeath]

To be fair(not really) Trump has said he hasn't started the GE yet. Lol

He has no clue how to run a campaign.

Yeah Trump has the best Republican campaign strategies, the smartest.

Just tremendous ideas all around.

Frist, Trump's going to prioritize CA and NY and not leave until he's sure he wins them.

Then he'll swing by Utah to say Hi and belittle Romney in his home state.

Then maybe if he finds time he'll go to some of those more conventional swing states.

 

[rjinaz]

It's almost as if the primaries and general are completely different and require different strategies. Weird. It's a shame he's not a politician, he might have known that.

 

[AusRoachman]

Really hope at the end of all this he loses a ton of money , seems like even republican donors don't want anything to do with him.

 

[Risette]

Only 30 staff members ? Is that standard ?

Not at all. It basically means he has no campaign at all.

 

[Slayven]

It's happening, slowly but surely. The approach to the GE is only going to get him lower.

The Behind Scenes will be awesome, I hope Ken Burns does it.

 

[WedgeX]

I laughed out loud.

How inept.

 

[rjinaz]

Clinton has 700+. She has more staff than he does in a single state..

He has so many supporters, and they would probably work for him for free. I'm sure they are the brightest, and the best. He has nothing to worry about.

 

[giga]

Not at all. It basically means he has no campaign at all.

He is the campaign.

 

[marrec]

30 Staff Members?!

Even Bernie feels sorry for him.

 

[Tom Nook]

What a mess.

 

[Boombloxer]

Wait, wait. Trump's entire campaign staff is 30 people? Has it always been this small?

Hillary basically has Obama's operations, which is top-notch to put it lightly.

The rumors for years have been that Trump's financial empire is mostly on paper, and in reality he doesn't have all that much cash on hand. One of the reasons he gets super-litigious when people start sniffing around his finances. Josh Marshall of TPM has kind of the beginnings of the look into this, and there's probably a Pulitzer waiting for the journalist who could actually bring the truth of Trump's finances into the light.

This too. I suspect we'll find out more as the months wane on.
But 1.3M isn't a lot for anything--and he's still campaigning in like, CA.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Really hope at the end of all this he loses a ton of money , seems like even republican donors don't want anything to do with him.

Me too, he already lost the TV deal with the Apprentice, Arnold took his job. lol

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Itd be hilarious if Trump dropped out at the RNC. Called everyone idiots on his way out

 

[WedgeX]

The Behind Scenes will be awesome, I hope Ken Burns does it.

Can this be narrated by Barack Obama, please?

 

[Stinkles]

I thought he was using his own money

Sure, and he's totally worth ten billion dollars too.

 

[TAJ]

There no way he'll fund his own campaign? ?

He couldn't afford to even if he spent everything he has.

Me too, he already lost the TV deal with the Apprentice, Arnold took his job. lol

They really go for people who drive successful things into the ground.

 

[Pyrokai]

Can he actually drop out?? If so, then what?!

 

[johnsmith]

I thought this was a great comparison.

 

[ffdgh]

Wonder can this get better worse.

 

[Cromwell]

What a mess.

A big fat mistake.

 

[rjinaz]

​

I know this is a running joke, but I really hope people don't believe this. Have you seen his speeches? There is no faking that kind of anger that he wears on his face. He's not that good of an actor come on people.

 

[Astral Dog]

with this, the assassination attempt and the star vandalizing Trump is having a hell of a day.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I thought he was taking RNC money for the general.

 

[Justin]

1.3 million on hand
45 million in debts

Sad!

 

[Rebel Leader]

Itd be hilarious if Trump dropped out at the RNC. Called everyone idiots on his way out

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Hey now, he doesn't have 30 staff members.






Lewandowski got fired and then an advisor made fun of that on Twitter and resigned, so he has 28 staff members.

That's just how he likes it! Lean and flexible and easier to oversee!!!!

 

[Laekon]

Does campaign money really matter? It seems Super Pac money matters more right now. Plus Trump has already beat a lot of well financed people already.

He's not bringing in any superpac money either though.

Wasn't the other guy a volunteer? Or was that wrong?

If you been paying attention to the past 8 years is easy to understand why. (EVERYTHING WAS OBAMA'S FAULT, death panels, take away your guns, Dictator, king ect....)

That shit won't fly in the general Election

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Can he actually drop out?? If so, then what?!

It would probably be a first in history. I mean, he would still be the only eligible candidate due to the deadlines in registering for presidency, but the RNC might go to one of the third parties or more radical conservatives.

 

[TaterTots]

It's clear he is the Republican nominee....which means he will definitely be getting more money despite his, "I don't take money" speech.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Trump is a mess.

 

[Yekshemesh]

Trump supporters, post if you're OK.

 

[Slayven]

Can this be narrated by Barack Obama, please?

Only if Obama is allowed to drink and go off script

 

[rokkerkory]

Amazing business man

 

[EatinOlives]

Wow

Wooooow

The Trump campaign is truly a dumpster fire.

 

[Big Baybee]

Trump already focused on his media empire when he loses the election.

 

[Enduin]

This guy. This guy, he's a nice guy. Or so I hear. But let's be honest. Let's be honest, he's a loser. He's got no idea. No idea. About what he's doing. He can't run a campaign. He's got no money. He's got no money. 1.3 million dollars? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? That's chump change. I'm worth 8 trillion dollars. 8 trillion. I don't mean to boast or brag. That just a fact. 9 trillion. A fact. And 30 staffers? Come on. Seriously? Come on. I have 800 black jack dealers at my Enduin Casino in Vegas. 800. All of them Ivy Grads. But they work for me. Enduin. Because I'm the best. They love me, the blacks, jack dealers. But this Trump guy. Total loser. Dump him. He should bow out in disgrace. Disgrace. Because he's a failure and a pedophile. I don't necessarily believe that. He's seems like an OK enough guy. But that's just what I've heard.

 

[Opto]

One thing he has is that everyone talks about him. But he's running out of things to say and he's going to go even lower to keep himself relevant without actual ad money

 

[Crisco]

Of course, no one with any sense is going to give this assclown money. I'd imagine even many of his supporters don't want any FEC paperwork showing they gave him money. He's a complete disgrace to the party and politics in general.

 

[TAJ]

It's clear he is the Republican nominee....which means he will definitely be getting more money despite his, "I don't take money" speech.

The Trump supporters I know are trying to tell me that when he said he was going to finance his own campaign he always meant just the primaries.

 

[kirblar]

lol @ the "we won't donate if Warren's the VP" threats.

 

[chuckddd]

Who needs a campaign when you can just keep saying stupid shit and end up on the news everyday?

 

[WedgeX]

Only if Obama is allowed to drink and go off script

Agreed.

Enduin you have always been the best.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I actually don't know, but either way it's hilarious.

You can't pay campaign staff or build a ground game with Super Pac money.
