It kinda makes sense. Big money donors simply hate what he's doing to the Republican Party. Smaller donors are swept up in all the boasting he does about allegedly having $10 billion and not needing anyone's money. It's hard to claim to be super rich, not need money for the primary, and then fundraise.I wasn't baffled that a wealthy man's campaign could score $46m in credit, it's surprise that his fundraising is so poor that even with his low spending there's a gap like this.
A whole new meaning to "self-funding"

I disagree. Fracture and rebuild is the only chance they have, sooner or later. Sooner is better if you're the GOP and you want to actually win elections.It is literally too late to do anything about it. Their best course of action is to let things run their course and then try again in four years. Doing anything now WILL irrevocably fracture the party.

Please don't fall apart till after the convention.

Everybody thought that Trump's campaign would be a dumpster fire. Turns out, he can't even afford the damn dumpster.
Trump is a thin skinned, broke ass, whiney little bitch. What a loser. Sad!
How much do we think Trump spends on hairspray a month?
I have trouble imagining Trump doesn't see that as a campaigning expense at the moment.
TV Ads in Iowa or a dozen more cans of the good stuff?
