2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Update 2: Dump Trump Polling begins of Romney v Clinton [View all]PJMcK
(22,061 posts)27. That amount was the headline
But we won't know for sure until the June FEC report is released in mid-July, I think. Then we'll have an accurate figure for Donald Trump's campaign and its fund raising.
A second element that could be interesting has to do with the roughly $50 million that Mr. Trump lent his campaign. He made a big noise recently that he was forgiving the loans but there's no official confirmation that he's done so. If he doesn't file the necessary paperwork, it'll indicate that he wants to be repaid meaning that his "self-funded" campaign was but another scam.

He's getting thousands at his rallies. His base is still there. Unfortunately.

No, I believe you are correct. My guess is he's planning out the convention details.

Yes. I think $51,000,000 was the headline. $26 mil for his campaign, $25 for GOP.

The use of the word "delgates" instead of "members of the rules committee"

Just that Trump invited Cruz to speak at the convention and that Cruz accepted.

Mitt may be working for it behind the scenes but I don't see him getting it. GOP pols are so
