If he's short on cash, which I doubt, he can walk into any bank in Manhattan and walk out an hour later with $1bil to spend as he chooses.

"None of his offenses against propriety seem to have dinged the support that, in a crowded race, keeps Donald Trump atop the GOP primary polls." Could this not have been said more clearly? I had to read it several times before realizing what he meant.

Can’t afford to run?! He’s mastered running for almost nothing! The losers this year are the media and the political class that makes millions each election cycle. Nothing from Trump.

Republicans are now talking about a brokered convention ....


That would mean we have a strong 3rd party. The GOPe would be out of business.

Unless the banks are told that not one dime is to be lent to Trump under any circumstance or else "bad things would happen". Nice bank you have there. Too bad the Treasury Department has decided that you've overstated the values of your assets and are now under water.

There are two ways Trump can do this. Ether finance his own campaign, or just buy off the republican members of the government. God knows he has enough money to do ether, and we all know the republicans are for sale. But Trump being Trump, he takes the most efficient rout to achieve the goals.

If major news networks report stories like this about him. I’d say that he can not only afford to run, but the msm is paying for most of it for him.

Trump has spent 300 grand so far to Jebra’s $34 million.

I think he can run for president no problem.

Hillary ( who’s looted the White House and sold official favors for untold millions to our enemies included, and whose hubby has been psid off in the tens of millions for his “service” ) — has told us she’s a broke destitute poverty case ready for — if not already on - food stamps - . Yet, the author doesn’t question that she can afford to run - indeed he suggests she’ll win —— Amazing, isn’t it?. Multi- billionaire Trump “ can’t afford to run” yet the pitiful starving homeless waif Hillary can.

This stupid article is patently ridiculous! His businesses have already been "threatened" and he is still VERY much in this race !

Also he has a great deal of money ( liquid assets ), as well as not so "liquid" assets that he can use; not to mention his ability to get extremely large personal loans.

Liberty-loving Americans will send in the money to finally bust the uni-party monopoly.

Yep, Trump entered this race thinking he’d have to spend millions, has spent a few hundred thousand, and is about ready to win the nomination.

As things have gone so far, this guy could conceivably win the presidency with less than $1 million spent.

And they think he’s going broke?

Wow, it is amazing what new angles they can come up with. This has to be a real scrape the bottom of the barrel hail Mary.

!0 billion is 10 thousand million dollars...

Not like he’s going to run out of money... And since he’s getting all the air tie for free, it’s doubtful it’s going to be more than a whopper with cheese to the rest of us...

Go trump...
