Trump shatters GOP records with small donors
Read it and weep Hillarybots.
Trump is the "Republican Obama."
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...-donors-228338
Quote:
Donald Trump has unleashed an unprecedented deluge of small-dollar donations for the GOP, one that Republican Party elders have dreamed about finding for much of the past decade as they’ve watched a succession of Democrats — Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and, to a lesser extent, Hillary Clinton — develop formidable fundraising operations $5, $10 and $20 at a time.
Trump has been actively soliciting cash for only a few months, but when he reveals his campaign’s financials later this week they will show he has crushed the total haul from small-dollar donors to the past two Republican nominees, John McCain and Mitt Romney — during the entirety of their campaigns.
All told, Trump is approaching, or may have already passed, $100 million from donors who have given $200 or less, according to an analysis of available Federal Election Commission filings, the campaign’s public statements and people familiar with his fundraising operation. It is a threshold no other Republican has ever achieved in a single campaign. And Trump has done so less than three months after signing his first email solicitation for donors on June 21 — a staggering speed to collect such a vast sum.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said a senior Republican operative who has worked closely with the campaign’s small-dollar fundraising operation. “He’s the Republican Obama in terms of online fundraising.”

How much of it will he pocket somehow, given that this is his modus operandi.?

From what I understand, his fundraising is jointly through the RNC So they may be watching closely, but he may pay himself a commission for his fundraising.

Comparing Trump to Obama in any fashion has me ROTFLMAO, thanks Joad.
BTW, Did you read the whole article? "OBummer" as you call him, raised almost $500 million compared to Trumpo's measly $100 mil, Joad.

Trump will get more bang from his 100 million than Clinton will get from 500 million.
Clinton has outspent Trump 110 million to 19 million and is barely breaking even in the polls.
Face it Dude. Your candidate sucks at campaigning.

Clinton's campaign has spent more than $110 million on general election television advertising, while Trump's campaign has spent less than $19 million.

'Trump used $258,000 from his charity to settle legal problems' D. Fahrenthold
"Donald Trump spent more than a quarter-million dollars from his charitable foundation to settle lawsuits that involved the billionaire’s for-profit businesses, according to interviews and a review of legal documents.
Those cases, which together used $258,000 from Trump’s charity, were among four newly documented expenditures in which Trump may have violated laws against “self-dealing” — which prohibit nonprofit leaders from using charity money to benefit themselves or their businesses." WaPo

More dirty deeds from the Donald.
