I hear people spend a billion dollars. I’m saying, how do you spend a billion dollars? It's impossible. Politicians are the only ones who can spend a billion dollars

...Politicians are the only ones who can spend a billion dollars

...for a job that pays $400,000. Methinks the perks outweigh the salary.

If you want to buy the presidency of the United States, live in the White House and take free vacations on the taxpayers’ dime, you’ve got to have a lot of money.

The money difference is all by design.

Trump may have to dip into his petty cash jar.

Trump spent only $55 million to secure the nomination.

He has plenty of money to self-fund a general election campaign.

But he doesn’t think spending a lot of money will get him to the White House.

He doesn’t think that way and he’s betting Hillary’s budget bulge is a lot like Jeb’s.

You can spend all the money in the world with nothing to show for it.

So Trump isn’t deterred in the least by Hillary’s cash advantage.

The drive-bys are apparently making a lot of this, using it as some sort of evidence that Trump has no intention of winning.

A co-worker sent me a link to a WAPO article this morning claiming that Trump is a Manchurian candidate whose sole purpose is to get Hillary elected. I tried not to roll my eyes, metaphorically speaking, in my reply to him.

He's right...only politicians could or would spend that kind of money for a job that pays about 400k. Especially since they're spending other people's money.

Does anyone realize just how big Trump support is? If you don't then you need to find out...

If each of Trump Supporters would put into his account one hundred dollars, by the end of the day there would be over a BILLION dollars...

And this pissy ant media twit writing this ‘news’ article says he's worried about money? ROFLMAO!!! You have got to be on drugs, insane or have your head up someone else’s behind!!!

Mr. Trump. Your money would be well spent if you were to hire a plumber to find and repair the number of leaks seen of late. These leaks continue to deplete the water being carried to and fro. You must have many names of very professional men and women, being in your profession Once halted, we will then be able to contain and proceed to chill for a time. The drips are a distraction to those who have a mission to accomplish.

Trump hasn’t been asking for money got the General election. As soon as he does, there will be a flood of cash headed his way.

Trump: "Politicians are the only ones who can spend a billion dollars.”

Try "trillions."

I really haven’t seen any ads on TV, for either side, her in Kansas (we don’t swing).

But I have seen some online stuff. And I assume Trump the Tweeter will try to get a lot of mileage out of free social media ad distribution.

The media, bloggers, trolls, and other vermin are in all-out attack mode against Mr. Trump. It’s time for the GOP, conservatives, and other Liberty loving American’s to step up and support our nominee.

That’s true....

Clinton has spent $42 million in ads against Trump already and she is tied with him....Orlando shook the polling.

The GOPe spent $62 million against Trump to prevent him from winning enough delegates.

Trump doesn’t have to have money on hand

Trump needs to finish the campaign with only $1 more than he needed to win.

“The billionaire real estate mogul kicked off the month of June with just $1.3 million in his campaign account, a fraction of the $42 million Hillary Clinton had on hand...”

Jeb Bush spent $130 million in the primary and finished last.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/23/us/politics/jeb-bush-campaign.html?_r=0

What we’re hearing is the mournful wailings of political advisors and the media who earn a ton of cash from campaign advertising. They’re worried they won’t see a big payday.
