Donald Trump's campaign started the month with a paltry $1.3 million in cash — a mere fraction of Hillary Clinton's $42.5 million war chest — putting the GOP frontrunner at a sharp disadvantage heading into the general election against Clinton's money machine. … And it's not just money — the filings revealed a campaign staff of less than 70, a number was dwarfed by Clinton's nearly 700 paid employees, and few of the campaign's expenses suggested work had begun to build out a more robust operation. All together, it's the most lopsided fundraising start to a presidential election in the modern campaign finance era."

14 million people voted for Trump if they each sent in 40 dollars like Bernie’s voters did Trump would have a half a billion dollars.
Trump should immediately appeal for his loyal voters to send money into his website.
Also, at these huge Trump rallies, he can remind them he isn’t a creature of wall street like Hillary. His is a private company, and if the voters want a government that isn’t bought by special interests they need to contribute.
Sure Trump has lots of Rich pals, and I am sure they will want to see him win and donate millions. But will the Cheap labor express fund anyone who won’t listen to them No they won’t.
But do we want a government that sells out the American people for self interest and payoffs?
I stopped listening to Salem Globalist Radio. The nonstop Ted Cruz-Bush lovefest during the primaries was sickening
Jeb had and spent over $100 million. He’s home watching Jeopardy.
Sent it directly to him. The RNCC will never ever get another penny from me.
In Maine Democrats poured tons of money into a few key elections, but got stomped on by populist-type Republicans.
You just can’t buy politicians like you used to...
This is not a big deal. Trump raised over $2.5 million last Friday in Houston just at one private event.
“This imbalance in funds has to be intentional.”
Agree. He’s going to demonstrate how very much can be accomplished with very little collected money, by using brains and balls.
The old political paradigms are breaking apart, and uniparty hacks haven’t a clue. They are in incapable of comprehension, from living lies for so long.
looks fishy to me !
“I stopped listening to Salem Globalist Radio.”
I find it works like a good jolt of caffeine. Kickstarts the blood pressure.
Granted that I tend to draw the line at Michael Grima Wormtongue Medved.
Not relevant in the general election...
It could have been $1.00 or 1 Billion...
The problem was the candidate...
Seriously, anybody who thinks the Clintons campaign non-stop attacks on Trump won't have an effect is kidding themselves...
Remember we are talking about the same people who put Obama in office not once, but twice...
I'm very glad Trump finally figured out running a general election campaign is more than a Twitter account and rallies...
He needs to spend money...
I went to Trump’s website. At this point,he isn’t doing
Pay Pal & that’s the easiest for me to do. Don’t know if
he’s boycotting PP for some reason; but maybe he will do
PP eventually. I wish he would let us help. We want to
help him against HITLER-Y’s criminal enterprise.
Good plan
Yeah, and where is she getting that cash flow? Rich financiers in New York and DC, also known as Corporate America. At least the Berniebots got one thing right when they said Hillary is nothing more than a corporate shill. Still, the hypocrisy doesn’t matter to most Democrats. Their hatred for us makes them overlook Hillary’s long list of misdeeds.
Trump can take $500 million of his own in seconds and Hillary will be down to him by a factor of 10 times.
Why should we expect the candidate to do it all for us? He’s our candidate, not daddy. Please everybody, put your money where your mouth is and help this campaign. If we want to see those great anti-HRC ads we’ve been dreaming of for months, it takes money. The “let somebody else do it” attitude will not get it done.

Message the campaign with your concern. They listen
Idea:
During a national catastrophe you can call a number and $10 is added to your bill and donated to a charitable organization. Think how much could be donated just by making a phone call. Unfortunately Trump must keep details of all contributions
There is an under 200 barrier but don’t know how that works
It’s easy to have a small
Monthly amount donated.
Just like doing a monthly here on FR
