If Trump really is mostly self funding his campaign, which seems to be true given the huge loan from himself, why would the campaign have tons of cash on hand? To me the whole cash on hand thing seems off target. The abysmal fundraising and internal strife is much funnier.

If Trump was a democratic plant he'd be working on associating himself and the down ticket more and also trying to make sure he survived the convention. His complete lack of poo poo about either of those things indicates that he's either lazy or stupid. That said though, maybe he kinda wants to get murdered at the convention - then he won't be the guy that loses.

Well, it's loving terrifying to donors to find out that if you donate to Trump's campaign the money is going to either: A. the 20% of expenditures directly embezzled by Donald Trump or B. To pay off Donald Trump's loan to himself. It's not so much that he has this little cash, it's that these figures will scare the poo poo out of anyone wanting to write a big check to the Trump campaign.

shiksa posted:he's loaning himself money to buy his own things and using campaign contributions to pay it off. Yeah, he's running it like he ran his Atlantic City casinos. Come in, pile up the debt to spend on stuff that benefits him personally, and then get other people to pick up the tab. It's hilarious. The only surprising part is that he was only able to flow 20% of his expenditures through his own business ventures. He should start an Amway store to buy stuff from. He could get that number up to 80% no sweat.

Since Trump is self funding, any dollar you give is a dollar he doesn't spend. Whether it goes directly to the campaign or to Trump who then spends it on the campaign, same outcome. I mean it's not like his campaign is suspended, in which all donations WOULD just be for paying loans(ie Trump). While the campaign is live I'm not sure how these disclosures change anything.

Considering the fortunes of a lot of wealthy people depend on what the Republicans do it really pisses said wealthy people off when the GOP candidate is literally pissing away his campaign

How do you justify giving money to a "billionaire"'s campaign that's writing checks to hotels owned by the candidate?

Squizzle posted:Are there two streets in Baton Rouge called Florida Boulevard? When I try to Google Street View the location of Uncle Bob's Storage, I follow Florida Blvd until it turns into Florida Street, and onward to the 400 block. But the highest address numbers on the 400 block appear to be 451 on one side, and 460 on the other. Is there another place I should be looking? 4756 Florida Blvd. I know this is going to surprise you but the Trump Organization hosed up a filing. http://www.unclebobs.com/Baton-Rouge-LA-storage/storage-unit-prices-UB290.cfm Google Maps shows it to be a normal non-descript storage unit. https://www.google.com/maps/place/4...6!4d-91.1419707 Almost certainly it's to hold crap from a rally, Trump held one in Baton Rogue in February. (or possibly it's Vince Foster's long form birth certificate)

And you just know that Trump's going to waste a ridiculous sum of money that the campaign doesn't really have on the Convention.

lamentable dustman posted:If he had no expectation of paying himself back he could wipe the loan of the books I'm pretty sure Exactly, so the campaign being "broke" is mostly a smoke screen. Same with cash on hand - Trump will just loan more when needed. In reality, aside from fundraising, the campaign finances are completely irrelevant and it's just Trump dumping tens of millions of his own money into this dump fire which is way funnier to me.

People are questioning Trump's actual wealth because he's self funding. If he has a million or ten on hand to fund the campaign, why does he have no staff or ad spending, and why is he sending out emergency fundraising emails? That's why campaign cash on hand matters, because it looks like Trump is unwilling or unable to fund it himself at the levels needed.

The campaign not having access to money isn't really what people are freaking out about. It's mostly that Drumpf's FEC filings don't look like the filings of a presumptive nominee a month before the convention. Donors also know they have to throw $42 million into the campaign to reimburse Trump before they can start seeing any return on their money.

yeah campaigns aren't supposed to be perfect throughput machines, the fact that 50 members of congress and many lower-level elected officials https://twitter.com/PeteJamison/status/745116794558394374 have more in the bank than him indicates that he's doing a significantly bad job at his job this is only part of the equation, though - yesterday's fun graphs showing how little he's spending are another big part of it. he's supposed to be stocking up money while also reserving large ad buys - he doesn't have the storage, the inflow or the outflow in this mass balance equation edit: hillary:hoover dam::trump:st francis dam
