OK since you guys are the resident experts.

What the fuck is wrong with Trump's finances? Its been said his campaign has financial troubles, but it was argued that he just didn't think he needs to invest more, after all, he is the self-funding guy supposedly, isn't he? But he has a lot of fundraising events planned... very different from the usual politicians I see.

And now I'm reading his son & his campaign have asked foreign leaders and politicians for money! Which by the way, is fucking illegal (Dana voice). WTF?



trump up by 4 points. once he stops a mudhole in that old witch during the debates that red line is going to the moon
The poll I'm seeing he is still short of 40, and Hillary short of 45.

Where are you reading all this stuff about his campaign finances? Sounds like a bunch of conjecture to me.

The complaint argues that the Trump campaign has “knowingly and illegally” solicited donations from the foreign nationals. It includes several references to media reports of politicians receiving fundraising emails, including a number of members of parliament in Iceland and Australia as well as the 54 members of the Scottish National party and UK House of Commons.
Interesting. I'd like to see more proof though. Could also just be an unfounded allegation.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with Trump. Now they are saying he will pick Christie as his running mate, IS HE STUPID! That is suicide. Christie is not popular anymore and people laughed when he endorsed Trump. If Trump wants to win this he needs someone like Condoleeza Rice as his running mate, and I have let them know that. I hope they listen.

I mean sure, but if litters of politicians from different countries say they got it.. a big conspiracy?

I'd rather guess they didn't know it was illegal or something. Which well, doesn't exactly exude competence.

There are a lot of groups out there with clear bias trying to allege a lot of things. From all sides. I just don't don't want to give my opinion based on someone else's unproven claim. If those politicians step forward, and that is in fact illegal, the main stream media won't miss it. They're still clamoring to bury to Trump at any opportunity.

But he's been facing that adversity his entire professional career. He knows how to navigate these waters better than anybody else. He's proving that with his campaign run. Who else is rivaling him right now? Only Hillary by default. Her unfavorability is just as shit. And she looks like a total weakling on absolutely every issue.

This election is Trump's to lose. And I doubt, at this point, his downfall will be improper solicitation of money.

His downfall will be his stupid ego unless he starts to realize who he is dealing with and the clout that she has. This guy needs to fucking get smart he is annoying me already lol. If he loses huge with women and black people AND Hispanics its over before it begins.

Zero chance he will choose Chris Christie. He has too much respect for public opinion and he knows everyone hates Christie. The risk to win one state does not outweigh the reward (unless Priziesthorse @Priziesthorse has some electoral collage meta-analysis I'm not aware of). Trump's favorability will drop below recoverable. He's still fighting an uphill battle at the moment...

This is main stream media, just not yours, probably some media picked it up over the pond as well, you just didn't notice, or they are waiting for official steps to be taken by these groups mentioned in the article. Who knows.
But these politicians coming forward seems rather legit.

I agree with your last point though.

But I wonder, why doesn't he fund his own shit just like that?

There's no way he will select Christie. I'm sure that's just a silly rumor meant to trigger people.

What do you mean by fund his own shit? That was really on feasible for the primary election, so now he's transitioned to the general election gameplan, which means spending lots of money. He has to solicit donations somehow.

There's still a good chance Trump loses this election. I doubt he wants to bleed his organization dry trying to reach the White House.

Trump will lose but i 100 percent want him to win it just wont happen. No one in the establishment will allow it and he doesnt have enough of the peoples support to overwhelmingly win with votes .

Maybe I'm just overestimating his personal funds and underestimating how much you need for your type of election. The system really sucks.

A classic general election campaign requires approximately 1 billion dollars.

He could do that but he would have to sell an entire skyscraper to do it. Trump's net worth is based on his Property Holdings. Probably only has a few hundred million liquid cash

Is an incredibly large amount that keeps people out of running for politics along with a number of other things like the major parties sidelining the smaller parties.

Regarding Trump asking foreign politicians for donations. They were simply on an email list. Why they were there in the first place I have no idea. But at some point their emails were added to the fundraising email list that started last week. No this European leaders were solicited directly as far as any the media has reported so far. It is strange but I don't expect anything to come of it other than a verbal statement from the election commission saying to enact some controls for foreign email addresses.

His personal wealth is directly tied to his business. And he's leaving that business to his children to be operated without much change if he becomes President. He's not going to risk those assets.
