I thought I said he could borrow it.

I know as much as you do about his privately held Corporation.

I do know, he's not going to put up his buildings as collateral for a half billion loan...that's what you have to do when you borrow 500 million dollars...

Let's pretend for a second he actually does that and wins the general election...

He's going to let himself be on the hook for 500 million dollars ?

Trump didn't become a billionaire by doing stupid things like that...

I think he is false flagging to lull the ‘Rats into a false sense of confidence. In August he will send in the B-52’s and lay waste to Hillary’s campaign

All Trump has to do is ask is 12-15 million voters to donate. He would have $100s of millions overnight.

I wonder about that...

I'm sure he would get a lot of small donations...

One of the things that makes me think it would not be a successful as some people think, is Trump has always said he would self fund without really getting into details that it was just for the primaries...

I think, I may be wrong, but lots of people will ask themselves, "why should I donate to a billionaire"...?

Keep ‘em guessing is part of his strategy from the early days of this campaign.

If you think Trump has a half a billion cash on hand or liquid assets...

You might want to pay a bit more attention...

Oh, piff. You are working the straw man to death.

No financially astute person keeps a billion dollars in cash sitting around.

Trump is one of a few people in the world who could make a few phone calls and raise that amount. Signature loan.

I don't know that he should, and I'm not suggesting he do so...but to suggest he cannot is foolish.

DJT has been doing this his entire life. It’s called getting and using OPM - other people’s money. Why should he use his own when he can cajole through various means all the old farts at the RNC to give him some walking around money. He will eventually have a number of sources of capital. His campaign will not fail for lack of cash - other things maybe, but he knows how to get financing.

There's even a name for those people.

Liberals.

We can agree to disagree...

Signature loan on a half a billion to invest into a political campaign...?

It's not like he is borrowing the money to build or buy an hard asset..

I don't think so...

That said, the campaign which spends the most is in no way guaranteed a win in any election.

True....just ask Ted.

“I keep reading how he was going to destroy the GOPe when all along he would eventually have to work with the very people some many here were thinking He would kill off....”

Trump has done more to expose worthless politicians than any other candidate in memory. Do you think Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham and John McCain are going to get re-elected on their next round if they continue to go against Trump’s stated agenda?

Trump never has said he’d self-fund the General Election portion of his campaign. He said he would self-fund the primary, but would have to accept donations for the General. Some people have short recall, or haven’t paid attention.
