The major donors who supported the GOP establishment’s favored candidates during the primaries are now standing on the sidelines or have switched sides to support Hillary Clinton, says a survey by the Los Angeles Times. Ninety-five percent of GOP primary donors are “sitting out” the general election, the newspaper found. Also, donors who backed Trump’s 16 primary rivals have already given $2 million to Clinton, while sending only $7.4 million from to Trump.
Overall, FEC records through August 31 show Clinton brought in $530 million while Trump lagged with $186 million in donations.

And despite that Trump is still winning.
BTW how has Hillary spent the money and what has it gained her? Jeb bush blew through 150 million for what?
The Republican Party, the Party of Lincoln, sucks!
Methinks there will be some score-settling if Trump becomes President.
After this election I will become a card carrying member of the constitution party. I will never again support or vote for any Republican. I have never voted democrat, never will.
Interesting.
CNN says the opposite:
Trump finally hits the big-money jackpot
Donald Trump, at long last, has won them over.
Amid the campaign’s final frenzy, there are encouraging signs that Trump’s slow-to-build money operation has matured to presidential caliber

Follow the money.
The ones supporting Hillary should be ashamed of themselves.
This is a wagon load of BS. The usual slanted yellow journalism from the Slimes.
In other words, Donald Trump can’t be bought.
“...donors who backed Trump’s 16 primary rivals have already given $2 million to Clinton, while sending only $7.4 million from to Trump.”
Only?
2 million is way more than 7.5 million. Snort.
Big money folks love cheap labor and ‘free trade’... it lines their pockets - - at the expense of most Americans. Of course they back Hillary.
There were elite Roman families who supported Odoacer’s overthrow of Romulus Augustulus, the last Western Roman Emperor. Proto-GOPe
I sure as heck hope so. We have been doing a BOHICA for so long, I thought it was our normal position. The times, they are a changing, or at least I hope so.
They say this like it’s a bad thing.
Paybacks are Hell.
Treasonous acts almost as bad.
Just indicative of what the Republican party has become...it is a travesty. They’re the establishment, big government bureaucracy, oligarchy loving elitists.
Makes me want to vomit.
Trump is certainly flawed. But he is definitely a hard working, unapologetic, smart businessman. And I’ll take such a man over the leaches of both parties who drain the lifeblood out of the middle class and give monies earned by that middle class to both ends of the economic spectrum.
Welfare for poor, cronyism for the rich: both are wrong and are created by destroying the wealth of the middle class.
Both establishment parties do it—and it is time for it to end.
I am not talking about abusing the poor or crushing the rich; that would be wrong, too. But creating competition and a competitive FREE and FAIR market would make things better for everyone. The poor would find jobs and the rich would become richer as they innovated and worked on new products and services.
I will gladly vote Trump. GOP-e can shove it.
I hate the GOP-e. We all do. We need a new party. A party for Conservatives. I am angered by the fact nobody has started a Conservative Party yet. I honestly think it would eventually replace the GOP if someone would just start the darn thing.
The WaPo is also unhinged, noticably so this weekend.
