Trump's campaign is unconventional.
I'm not even a little surprised that he isn't running ads and clinton is. He knows, just like everyone knows, it is a waste of money until after the convention. democrats have the last convention will be leading in the polls the day after that convention. That is what has happened every election year of my life that I have paid attention to. That is when you start pumping money into advertising and if I know it, Trump knows it. Take all the free stuff you can till then, because people who are on the fence are going to flip flop multiple times. Everyone isn't like us. In fact most people aren't. ARFCOM makes the huge political blunder of assuming everyone is like us and thinks you should make decisions based on that. Trump is doing it right and I don't see any way clinton can beat him unless something really crazy happens. She couldn't win when people liked her when she ran against obama. Now people don't even like her. Even staunch demos don't like her. |

Go on Hillary- Shoot your wad. The $ isn't as unlimited as you think.
And you're going to look like an idiot one debate night when the Don brings up how you have squandered 750,000,000 of Wall Street cash, while he's only spent 30 mil. Heard a bit on NPR yesterday how Trump might actually make a profit on his campaign. Awsome!

Trump stumbled onto a demographic wave; but he combined it with a competent understanding of the post-broadcast-media world. twitter is to the 24/7 mass-broadcast cycle today what that was to weekly pressers in the early 1990s. Social illiterates claim that not posting with an eye to ideological consistency six months down the line is a weakness. That's how you know they don't be hip to the kids. No-one cares about six months down the road, it's understood that tweets today represent opinions today. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hillary *will* spend around $1B on this campaign. She has promises right now for 100's of millions of dollars. If you don't understand that you haven't been paying attention to Presidential campaigns recently. Trump is late getting started. Why that is I have no idea. But it's not a good thing any way you slice it. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Hillary and the Democrats are going to spend the better part of a billion on this campaign. $11M is a very small drop in the bucket. He's had the nomination for a while now. Why's he so late getting started? So Hillary has $40-odd million (4% of a billion) to Trump's $11+ million (1.1% of a billion), placed in the context of a billion dollar campaign there is no meaningful difference. Hillary *will* spend around $1B on this campaign. She has promises right now for 100's of millions of dollars. If you don't understand that you haven't been paying attention to Presidential campaigns recently. Trump is late getting started. Why that is I have no idea. But it's not a good thing any way you slice it. Actually he will have more material for better ads by letting hillary blow her wad. People have a short attention span. Its not how early you start, it's what you do after you start. That's why mccstain and Romney lost. |

That is why media polls showed dead even ties last election yet Republicans won by 8-10%, the same polls showed Republicans losing 3 Governorships and they ended up winning 3 instead. Politicians laugh at the media polls. Yesterday on MSN.com (liberal site) they had a Hillary vs Trump poll...with over half a million votes cast Trump was beating Hillary by over 10%. Trump's speech yesterday was surprisingly VERY impressive, that will bring in a lot of cash. Hillary has no rebuttal for his talking points on her.

Quoted:
Oh look, yet another anti-Trump narrative smashed. He'll withdraw any day now, for sure this time. Quit pissing and moaning about how doomed Trump is, Tuesday was his first fundraising push and he pulled in donations hand over fist, half small donors and half big donors: CNN
Donald Trump and his joint fundraising committee have raised at least $11 million since Tuesday morning, Republicans said Wednesday, a tremendously quick haul that comes amid concerns about his fundraising ability. Trump Victory, the joint fundraising account with the Republican National Committee, and Trump's official campaign raised $5 million online since Tuesday morning, when it sent one of its first fundraising pitches to its email list, according to Sean Spicer, an RNC spokesman. That does not include the $2 million that Trump himself has pledged to match in the fundraising appeal, Spicer said. Trump has done virtually no small-dollar fundraising since launching his campaign a year ago, and is not expected to begin a full online fundraising operation until the convention. "We are incredibly excited by the outpouring of support from the grassroots supporters who want to see this country experience real change," said Hope Hicks, a Trump spokeswoman. Along with the online effort, a more traditional fundraising tool -- a high-dollar fundraising event at a tony New York City restaurant -- brought in $6 million for Trump and the RNC, his son, Eric, told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront." The news media pushed him about the veterans' donations and much of the money went out within a couple of days and now that his atrocious campaign finances go public he immediately launches a fund raiser. He doesn't look awesome. He looks like he's being pushed around by the media and is struggling to catch up because of his campaign's laziness and incompetence. Obama didn't cause real change? Either the campaign is tone deaf or they accidentally let the truth slip out. I wonder how much of that is DNC/Clinton money to keep him from being ejected at the Convention? |

You asked for serious self funding, you get serious self funding - Trump goes all in, forgives $50 million in loans he made to his campaign, effectively converting them into a contribution:
OANN-Reuters
Republican Donald Trump has forgiven nearly $50 million in loans he made to his presidential campaign, he said on Thursday, signaling to donors that future contributions will be used to fight Democrat Hillary Clinton and not to repay himself. (snip) “I have absolutely no intention of paying myself back for the nearly $50 million dollars I have loaned to the campaign,” the presumptive Republican nominee said in a statement. The New York developer has suggested he could use more of his personal wealth to help win the White House. “(Trump) has also said he will contribute significantly more money,” Steve Mnuchin, the top fundraiser for Trump’s campaign, said in an interview on CNBC earlier on Thursday. Mnuchin was the first to say that Trump would forgive the loans. (snip) He said Trump raised about $10 million in conjunction with the Republican Party at fundraising events this week. Trump also raised $6 million through online donations, Mnuchin said, following the wealthy New York businessman’s first attempt to appeal to supporters to contribute to his campaign. Trump funded his campaign for the Republican nomination largely through his own personal wealth, putting money into his campaign in the form of loans. By leaving them as loans, he would be entitled to seek repayment from his campaign. By converting the loans into contributions, Trump is telling his supporters he will not seek repayment via contributions. |

Why on Earth is a billionaire candidate who has been saying he will fund his own campaign if needed paying himself a salary?! Edit: Apparently Trump has payments listed to himself and his children in his FEC filings for payments that could be for services other than a salary. The payments are listed as "In-Kind" followed by "PRE-PAID PAYROLL (SEE MEMOS BELOW)," "RENT (SEE MEMOS BELOW)," and "TRAVEL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT: ITEMIZATION BELOW IF REQUIRED." You can download Trumps filings into an excel document and view the data that way (that's what I did). The sum of these IN-KIND reimbursements are approximately $418,837 listed for Donald J Trump, Donald J Trump Jr., and Eric Trump. So apparently Trump is NOT paying himself a salary.

The payments are listed as "In-Kind" followed by "PRE-PAID PAYROLL (SEE MEMOS BELOW)," "RENT (SEE MEMOS BELOW)," and "TRAVEL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT: ITEMIZATION BELOW IF REQUIRED." You can download Trumps filings into an excel document and view the data that way (that's what I did). The sum of these IN-KIND reimbursements are approximately $418,837 listed for Donald J Trump, Donald J Trump Jr., and Eric Trump. So apparently Trump is NOT paying himself a salary. You can check Trump's filings with the FEC here. He has been spending a lot at his resorts, have is sones winery, etc. He won't even comp his own campaign the use of his own properties. You'd think his whole reason for campaigning was to give himself business. Great response. Thank you. Sincerely. Edit to unfuck quotes. |

If I were a Trump supporter I wouldn't be too excited about this. Based on recent reports a lot of his campaign money is going right back into his and his kid's personal businesses. Trump is apparently even paying himself a salary out of campaign funds. It appears what really excites you then is the Clinton Foundation money laundering and fraud scheme. You Trump humpers just don't quit do you? Is it that hard to understand that you can be critical of Trump without supporting Hillary? Let's be clear, no one will Cary more blame for the nearly inevitable clinton victory than the Trump supporters who got him the nomination. He was and continues to be the worst possible option available if beating Hillary is at all important to you. You can continue to your willful ignorance all you want but it won't change the fact that Trump is on track to get absolutely slaughtered by that crooked cunt. |

You asked for serious self funding, you get serious self funding - Trump goes all in, forgives $50 million in loans he made to his campaign, effectively converting them into a contribution: OANN-Reuters
Republican Donald Trump has forgiven nearly $50 million in loans he made to his presidential campaign, he said on Thursday, signaling to donors that future contributions will be used to fight Democrat Hillary Clinton and not to repay himself. (snip) “I have absolutely no intention of paying myself back for the nearly $50 million dollars I have loaned to the campaign,” the presumptive Republican nominee said in a statement. The New York developer has suggested he could use more of his personal wealth to help win the White House. “(Trump) has also said he will contribute significantly more money,” Steve Mnuchin, the top fundraiser for Trump’s campaign, said in an interview on CNBC earlier on Thursday. Mnuchin was the first to say that Trump would forgive the loans. (snip) He said Trump raised about $10 million in conjunction with the Republican Party at fundraising events this week. Trump also raised $6 million through online donations, Mnuchin said, following the wealthy New York businessman’s first attempt to appeal to supporters to contribute to his campaign. Trump funded his campaign for the Republican nomination largely through his own personal wealth, putting money into his campaign in the form of loans. By leaving them as loans, he would be entitled to seek repayment from his campaign. By converting the loans into contributions, Trump is telling his supporters he will not seek repayment via contributions. That's a bold move ... Not really believable until the FEC release next month. Which will be conveniently after the convention. He's still following the playbook. https://storify.com/simonyang/what-donald-trump-is?utm_source=story&utm_media=storypage&utm_content=related Totally off the cuff, no research, no google, etc. Didn't you just this very morning ask me if I read the fec filing?

But as my colleague Andrew McGill explained yesterday, Trump in fact had very little choice: Until his acceptance of the nomination at the Republican National Convention, Trump can use campaign funds to pay back loans without limit, replenishing his personal bank account with contributions and proceeds from the “Make America Great Again” hats. But that spigot closes at the conclusion of the convention. At that point, Trump has 20 days to use cash received before his nomination to pay off loans. If he gets any new contributions to his primary campaign, he can only use up to $250,000 to pay himself back. (A similar cap applies for any loans he might make to himself during the general election, the cut-off date being November 8.) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hillary and the Democrats are going to spend the better part of a billion on this campaign. $11M is a very small drop in the bucket. He's had the nomination for a while now. Why's he so late getting started? Instead they are doing their best to sabotage him and give the election to Hillary. We will see, Trump hopefully has a plan and i hope it is to run a better campain and get better results at a third of the cost. Free |

Free If Trump really could run his campaign for a third the cost then he should have been fundraising so the Republican party could use that extra two-thirds to strengthen its' position across the rest of the election races at the Congressional, state, and local levels -- the Presidential race is only part of the election. |

Trump-campaign is (likely) unable to pay back his debt. Trump-lender was forced to write off the bad debt. Trump claimed moral victory for an action he effectively had no choice in. That's deceitful. Quote HistoryQuoted:

June fundraising was released a few moments ago... Trump raised $26.7 million in that reporting period.
He raised $11 million + in two days but only $26.7 for the month? |
