these guys are knee jerk hypocrites on a couple of levels.

first, they claim that they are supposed to be afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted. in this case, the claim is that trump does not have the money to succeed. then, what category is trump but afflicted?

second, the bar is set by the cost of media coverage itself. the media benefits from political campaign advertising. it is not a neutral party. It is commenting on a potential source of its own income, or a potential competitor to a potential source.

What is to preclude the media from eliminating all but the richest of candidates from running, based on a deep pockets criteria?

I also notice Slate does not permit comments on its articles. What cowards.

Then you know exactly what I'm saying here. All of us border state people know full well.

For example, you see schools getting out and hundreds of kids going home for the day and not one white kid. Not many black kids either for that matter unless you go to inner cities.

What has happened and why are they giving our state away to invaders who will undercut everyone else and work for peanuts? This has to stop and be reversed.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Aren't contribution lists confidential?

If you want them to be confidential they are. I'm proud to contribute and want to let everyone know I support FR.

...Corey Lewandowski, says that the campaign is willing to spend “whatever it takes” of Trump’s personal fortune on campaign ads through the year—“considerably more than $20 million,”

Trump makes more than a million dollars A DAY.

'Considerably more than 20 million' means more than 3 weeks pay for him. Yesterday Trump was asked about making changes in the White House if he was elected.. he said he might but that he would pay for the changes out of his own money... Sounds like he's not going to drop out for lack of funds. And the book deal? That money is being donated to charity. Salon needs to work harder at their research..

Also, when he's President we - the American people - will happily pay for updating the White House as needed for Trump and his family.

I, too, am 100% all in with Cruz. To me Trump is and always has been a liberal and I will not vote for him under any circumstances.
I laugh at articles from slate, nyt, puff ho, and the rest of the liberal rags that claim he is dropping and this one “he’s running out of money is the funniest I’ve read yet.
One thing I really like about Trump is he takes all the cheap shots that had he not been in the race would have been directed directly at Cruz.

We have a candidate who says he is sick of it and is not afraid to say just what he wants to correct.

Yeah we've had Bush vs Gore. Bush vs. Kerry. McCain Vs Obama. Romeney vs. Obama. Now we have Trump vs. Hillary. Wait he is not attacking Hillary. He is attacking every other Republican that is running.

Telling the media that Hillary belongs in prison is kinda weak.

You win. /s

Maybe because I wouldn't give a flying f**k what you think?

Trump has yearly income from assets of around $400 million or about $1.1 million a day. He could spend that two million dollars he has spent in the last four months every day from now till election and still not cut into more than $400 million of his assets of $10 billion.

If Trump wins the WH and decided to live there which I doubt. I think rather than golf each day the Donald would live in NYC and do both jobs. Obviously he is a fabulous delegator. He’d have to have the place either entirely fumigated or bulldozed and redone, if Obama doesn’t steal everything.

Gosh, no wonder Trumps website takes donations.
He must be running out of money.

...he’s going to see a cratering or even collapse in his media coverage.”

Doesn't a crater come after a collapse?

STARSTRUCK WROTE!

I don't mind the Trump supporters per se. But when they have completely taken over the site and allowed to bully conservatives is not a good thing.


Who are you to bitch or whine about anything?

You don't mind the Trump supporters per se...LOLOLOL. Well, how gracious of you!!!

"Conservatives" ARE supporting Trump and "Conservatives" ARE supporting Cruz and still holding out hope that Cruz will catch on. There IS plenty of time, (months) before the first ballots are cast, ya know?

From what I've seen out of you, --- you dish-out a lot more than you receive in return.

Try checking Jim's posts about Mr. Trump and you might catch a clue.

BTW, DON'T CONCERN YOURSELF ABOUT WHO DONATES AND WHO DOESN'T AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY APPEAR ON ANY PRESENT OR PREVIOUS DONOR LISTS!

NOT ALL DONORS ARE LISTED

Wow, are you really that daft?

Really, I guess you need a refresher on how presidential election politics work. It's too early to start in on the other side when the race is all against your own side for the nomination at this point. Get it?

Trump’s getting stronger. CNN said that he was doing well at 3pm eastern. He has the money.
