Are you a moron. He uses his own aircraft and loans to campaigns are how it is always done. This is nickels and dimes. Anything to hit the man. Thank God we have someone that hits back. You go ahead and champion, lying and race-baiting Cruz. There’s a champion for you....

every candidate has done this since the dawn of time......another i could care less

I'm sure you've noticed on this thread that fact doesn't stop the Trump bashers.

The objective thinking skills here have gone out the window for some posters here.

And they call Trump supporters cultists....

Did you see the pitiful amount of donations so far to Trump? The article says $7.7 million, and references a prominent donate button. Bernie Sanders raised $6.4 million in the hours just after New Hampshire.

Please. And do you expect Trump to use some other air service? Or do you expect Trump to not keep the paperwork of what is being spent and pay the bills?

This is ridiculous. Trump has put in $17.5 million. Add it up and he is at $25 million? Really? He has gotten all of this to date on $25 million?

You see, people will want to figure out the worst way to look at anything. The politics of this figures prominently into why Trump will be the next President of the USA.

OK. I thought he had - or at least new he planned to.

But there would still be an issue of illegal contributions, IMO.

Have a great Friday, FRiend.

Thus proving that Trump is just another politician out to make a buck.

Are you serious?

Objective critically thinking non emotionally involved people would simply call it good business sense.

Imagine what that kind of thinking and action could do for this country, that is unless you like things the way they are.

Are you that uninformed as to not see what I was saying?

I work on the Trump Campaign, re read and then you’ll know what I was saying, and oh, don’t try the ‘media’ tricks on me, they don’t work!!!

If you're going to toss the "moron" word around, might want to proof your post for punctuation first.

Once that's done, next step is to stop and think about the topic - are you, Lagmeister, truly OK with Trump repaying himself with donated funds while spending the money he loaned himself on his own businesses? So at the end of the day, he is out nothing (paid back) and has actually made money by paying his own businesses?

This is important because it runs contrary to the "I'm funding myself and I'm not like the other guys" concept.

If I recall the interview correctly, it is a matter of law for an actual president.

Until then they are simply spending time and resources to be the president. They have to survive on something, and they have to keep their old incomes coming in.

Except for Carson, every other person running is on government and PAC payrolls.

They are on the sidebar so people who do not hate Trump can find where he is going to be and not have to sort through these posts.

We have 5 people who search the net to post 20-30 anti-Trump posts a day. It is their life.

Pray America wakes

But I forgot, she’s Hillary and she can do no wrong, but let Trump run and fund his own campaign and that’s the end of the world...I get it now!!!

You know, I'm really starting to think that these anti Trump posters are GOPe/media/political hacks.

Their attacks lack any type of objective truthful analysis....just like the media and competing politicians.

Using donated funds to pay yourself for campaign services? Not exactly a man looking out for the little guy.

IIRC, he said he didn't NEED donated funds, as has not solicited them. If the "little guy" chooses to fund him, it's the little guy's prerogative, not some screw-the-little-guy scheme.
