Trump fundraising sets off Clinton camp alarms

NEW YORK — Taken aback by the size of Donald Trump’s July fundraising haul, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is quickly working to beef up its efforts to raise campaign cash before the fall — sending the candidate, running mate Tim Kaine, and former President Bill Clinton on an all-out financial sprint through August while explicitly warning top fundraisers this week that they need to pick up the pace.

In an internal memo, first obtained by POLITICO, that will be circulated to high-level donors on Monday morning, campaign manager Robby Mook specifically writes that the Republican nominee’s July haul overshot the campaign’s expectations, necessitating a new wave of action.

“Donald Trump also had his best fundraising month of the campaign, raising $80 million,” explains Mook in the roughly 750-word missive — titled “Wake Up Call” — after trumpeting Clinton’s own $90 million haul between the campaign and other Democratic committees. “This was far more than anyone expected — and should be a wake-up call to all Hillary supporters. We must redouble our efforts in the coming weeks."

Does Trump collect money at his rallies?

I don’t think they are worried about money. What they are worried about is that the large Trump haul suggests that there is hidden support for Trump.

HilLIARy also spend tens of millions on campaign ads already, and barely moved the needle.

Trump sends a tweet and gets 10 times as much effect.

my wife read somewhere that every one of Trumps tweets hits 10 million people, either by followers, or because it is forwarded by followers.

I have no way to verify this, I’m not sure who could, but if that’s true, well... her millions mean nothing.

Trump is up to 10.8 million followers on Twitter. I started following him on July 29, when he had 10.6 million. That’s decent growth in 10 days.

No it’s not the most. Katy Perry has 90 million, Justin Bieber has 60 million, Obama has a lot. But Trumps is twice as much as Hillary’s

Check out the warnings/contra-indications of Diazepam use over time:

*Paranoid delusions
*Mood shifts
*Severe depression
*Acute anxiety
*Enraged outbursts

Almost sounds like a psychological profile of old "Pantsuit on Fire."
