I truly believe that this is all a bluff and a game with Trump. His obnoxious comments about his fellow aspirants and fighting back any criticism (even when true), helps him to gather his narrow minded followers and as long as this is working, he will stick with it.

Consider the fact that Trump has invested $0.00 for advertisement or any for any fundraising activities whereas Bush and Clinton (more so) have been spending a bundle with little to no effect.

This is one of the reasons why Trump is scary to the GOP and any attacks on him does not affect his campaign financially but is assured of a vicious response.

Trump was born on third base and is convinced he hit a triple.

I kinda agree with you on that, and truthfully the more he talks the more we can come to a conclusion.

That's a good one, but he has grown the estate.

Not quite true that he hasn't spent any money.

He paid actors $50 each to come cheer for him when he announced he was running.

And then there is the fact that taxpayer dollars ($16,000) were used to transport people to his rally in Mobile Alabama.

Not sure if either of those examples fit the "advertisement or fundraising" criteria as that was what you mentioned in your post..... But I think a good argument could be made that they do in a sense.

Having made that point..... The total money he has spent is probably a fraction of what others have spent.

Beamon I think he really believes it. I mean if he believes he can put a 35% car tax on AMERICAN companies importing cars from overseas factories to the USA, believes we can take oil wells back from Iraq and ISIS, and thinks there are Muslim Training Camps in the USA then he most likely believes in birtherism.

I think in a one-on-one debate with either Hillary or Sanders Trump would be torn to shreds.

I mean he obviously was not smart enough to anticipate the birther idiot yesterday if all along he has been faking his ideology...he would have somehow avoided the frankensteins he created in his audience lol.

While lighting into teachers unions Wednesday, Ohio Gov. John Kasich said he would ban teachers' lounges if he had the chance.

"If I were not president, but if I were King of America, I would abolish all teacher's lounges, where they sit together and worry about 'woe is us,'" Kasich said at an education conference in New Hampshire sponsored by education group The Seventy-Four and The American Federation for Children.

Kasich tries to make nice with Latinos here in SoCal and sticks his foot in his mouth.

A mere technicality.

We would probably never know how much he is spending to corral audiences but shouldn't his campaign be charged for any expenses incurred by the city of Mobile for his campaign address?

Hope someone here can help clarify.
