Trump campaign "facing an emergency goal of $100,000"

[satchelmcqueen]

A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Hillary.

you have no clue what ron teaches in order to say that.

 

[r3volution 3.0]

was very serious

I meant that the OP was being sarcastic about throwing a moneybomb for Trump.

He loathes Trump as much as you or I do.

Incidentally, I *think* Jamesiv1 is also being sarcastic, but don't hold me to that.

..the line between genuine and feigned retardation is getting blurred.

 

[CPUd]

No but neutral criticism is different from one with an agenda.

Guy was a Hillary voter in 2008.

Yea because we have all seen how badly negative ads effect him or his campaign. I have to wonder CPU what side of the fence are you really on. You attack Trump almost as much as the Dems are attacking him. It seems to me like you want more of the same here. So honestly, what side of the fence are you truly on? Those on this forum who are going for Trump their mind is made up, those against, same. So why exactly are you being a democrats attack dog?

Notice how these get especially nasty when Trump's polling is in the gutter, and his campaign is going broke (due to being forced to stick to his word of donating his last $1M to vet charities). Anyone not in lockstep with their master gets accused of supporting the "other side", which is actually the same side.

For those who are still a bit slow on the uptake, Trump has financed the "other side" for years:

Why do you think you own other people's franchises? A rejection of this misguided self serving and ignorant attitude is one of the reasons this movement exploded into being. Not only is there zero logic behind your emotive pablum, but the actual reality on the ground, with Johnson pandering to left wingnuts, indicates that Johnson is taking more from Killary than Rump.

How ie about you either find reason again, or GTFO with this "if you don't vote for my tyrant then you are voting for the other tyrant" bull$#@!. All you are doing is eradicating your own credibility, and annoying the snot out of anyone left with a brain who happens to read this George W Bushian level drivel.

ok, ok.... geeez

I get bored at work, and can't help pushing buttons around the silliness.

Because it would just be too depressing if I couldn't poke fun at it.

99.9% of what [MENTION=35824]Jamesiv1[/MENTION] posts is sarcasm. He and I go round and round with prankster stuff- he's cool.

Well, that makes a lot more sense then. I was wondering wtf was going on lol. I thought another one had bit the dust. :-/

[RandallFan]

Trump doesn't want to say the word "million" with respect to raising money from the little guy. He'll raise it any time he wants but it makes him look like a rich jerk like Romney making significat bets with Santorum.

[AZJoe]

The #NeverTrump Train jumped one too many tracks.
From Jeb Quick Path, to the Marco Express, to the Cruz Final Destination. Its navigation system probably had a bad CPUd.

 

[moostraks]

...And in a way, Buzzfeed’s widely publicized refusal earlier this month to accept Trump ads may have benefited the candidate: The original ad buy was for $1.3 million, exactly the amount the Trump campaign has left in the bank, according to the FEC report.

Why Is Donald Trump Begging for Money As If He's Broke?

...Inveighing against illegal immigrants and political correctness, Trump wins over some voters but inevitably loses many others. But branding himself as a rich winner? That’s the one aspect of his candidacy that appealed to his supporters without turning anyone off, even as it contrasted nicely with Hillary Clinton taking money from big Wall Street banks, foreign regimes, even the dread Donald Trump!

That’s why Trump’s recent behavior is so baffling.

“The Donald Trump campaign sent its first ‘emergency’ fundraising email to supporters Saturday, seeking to raise at least $100,000 by the end of the day,” The Hill reports. “That request follows a multimillion-dollar ad blitz launched by Hillary Clinton.”

The article quotes the solicitation: “Right now we're facing an emergency goal of $100,000 to help get our ads on the air," it said. "We need your contribution by 11:59 P.M."

Has any campaign email ever been so off-brand?

The recipient cannot help but feel cognitive dissonance. Hey, wait a minute, if he’s worth $9 billion dollars, if he’s as rich and successful as he says, why is it an “emergency” to raise what amounts to a rounding error in his net worth, by midnight no less?

I know where my mind goes. Is he so tightfisted and greedy that he’s lying to spur donations he doesn’t need from his working class supporters? Does he have much less money than he led his supporters to believe back when he promised to self-fund in the primaries? Is he fearing a massive financial hit if or when the Trump University lawsuit is litigated? Does he just not care very much about the general election?

It’s hard to imagine that the Trump campaign wants its supporters to draw any of those conclusions, but I find it hard to formulate a more charitable explanation that’s plausible. The implausible: He’s decided in a moment of introspection that he’s not qualified for the office he is seeking and is now quietly self-sabotaging to save face. Or perhaps he’s going to drop a billion dollars into his campaign coffers any day now?

If not, I’ll remain baffled by his approach.

...There is one detail in the New York Times account that suggests Trump’s next round of financial disclosure forms will show more cash on hand. “Allies of Mr. Trump say they believe the tide is already turning,” the newspaper noted. Rather than self-funding, “On Tuesday, Mr. Trump will appear at a high-dollar fund-raiser in New York City hosted by some of the most prominent names on Wall Street.”

That’s no surprise, given that he hired a former hedge-fund manager with ties to George Soros and Goldman Sachs to help run his campaign. Still, it’s a huge gamble.

...It’s one thing to prefer Trump to Clinton if you think he’s independent and she’s bought and paid for, but few will prefer him to her if, alongside all his other faults, they also see him as beholden to big donors just like the establishment he is running against. It seems to me that, if he really wants to compete for the White House, substantial self-funding is a no-brainer. Maybe he isn’t nearly as rich as he’s led us to believe...

Hillary Clinton is crushing Donald Trump on the fundraising front, electoral filings show, casting doubt on the Republican's claims that money is "pouring in" for his campaign.

Trump raised just over $3 million in May — the month he secured enough delegates to win the Republican nomination — while Clinton raked in more than $26 million, according to the latest filings from the Federal Election Commission.

Those numbers — weak for a Congressional campaign, let alone a run at the White House — have put Trump and the Republican Party at an extraordinary financial disadvantage heading into the general election. And that's not all.

Trump campaign reports shockingly meager cash-on-hand, fundraising totals.
$1.3M cash
$3.2M raised

Clinton didn't just out-raise Trump 9-1: She also entered June with much more cash in her coffers.

Trump started the month of June with just $1.29 million cash on hand — compared with Clinton's $42 million.
The latest numbers come as Trump campaign battles turmoil both from outside and from within its ranks.

So far Trump hasn't needed money because he's been propped up by the media's barrage of free advertising. But now that they've ruined the GOP primary, that barrage will cease. I have no doubts that Trump's vote total will outperform his finances because he'll get most of the anti-Hillary vote, but it will be nowhere near enough to win.

The stark reality is that Trump doesn't have the donors. He's losing women and minorities. He's losing a large percentage of the GOP. And even white men are having a hard time seeing him as "Presidential".

Congrats, Trumpsters! Your reality TV inspired candidacy is giving you your worst nightmare - President Hillary.

2nd verse, same as the 1st

They've been saying that since last June - we'll see.

 

[juleswin]

Hope the Clintons pay him back for the effort. I think he is going to need all that 30 pieces of silver and then some after the Trump university lawsuit has been adjudicated. Maybe the payment would help him stave off another embarrassing bankruptcy is in his future? I hope he does avoid another episode just for the sake of his crazy and suicidal supporters.

We pray for you Trump supporters, do not cut yourselves

 

[jmdrake]

Trump needs 100k where Ron needs 5 million.



Yes.

LOL if you really believe Trump only needs 100K to overcome his fundraising deficit.

FIFY! Seriously I was just about to post an "In all seriousness while I can't stand Trump I hope he beats Hillary" thread and then I read the "true blue" Trump supporters compare him to Ron Paul? Good grief! The GOP should have picked Rand Paul. Barring that it should have been Ted Cruz or Ben Carson. Trump is the worst possible candidate ever.

Agreed. They should have picked Rand Paul, but they were under the spell of a talented salesman with a huge bullhorn. Unfortunately, this is not the lesson they will learn.

Things that make you go hmm...

Trump said that he raised $12 million at RNC fundraising events in the Southwest over the weekend—proof, he said, that he can come up with the money he needs to beat Democrat Hillary Clinton on his own.

“I can just spend my own money,” he said, likening the strategy to the one he used in the primaries. “I have a lot of cash. So I can do like I did with the others, just spend money on myself and go happily along and I think I’d win that way. There are many people who think I’d do better that way by being a little bit of the insurgent, the outsider and you know not working along. But I want to work along because the RNC has been terrific, Reince Priebus has been terrific and it’s all coming together.”
