Trump gave just $31,000 to his campaign in October. No cash, all in-kind. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/27/1587761/-Turn-out-the-lights-Trump-gave-just-31-000-to-his-campaign-in-October-No-cash-all-in-kind Turn out the lights, the party’s over. Funds are drying up and Donald doesn't want to give any of his money to his own campaign. Cash on hand, only $16 million. Donald Trump gave his foundering campaign $31,000, no cash all in-kind. The $100 million self-funded campaign lie is exposed and the media lets him have it. Keep your pedal to the metal folks to make this the biggest wave election we can, but this latest news is evidence that Trump knows he’s cooked. <div class="dk-editor-embed center-block" data-twitter-content='&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;JUST IN -- Trump:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Raised: $30.5 million&lt;br&gt;Spent: $49.3 million&lt;br&gt;COH: $16 million&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/791816935738601472"&gt;October 28, 2016&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; '><div class="remove-embed-content">x</div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">JUST IN -- Trump: Raised: $30.5 million Spent: $49.3 million COH: $16 million— Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) <a href="https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/791816935738601472">October 28, 2016</a></blockquote> </div> <div class="dk-editor-embed center-block" data-twitter-content='&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Trump, who repeatedly promises to give $100m to his campaign, gives basically nothing in early October.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He&amp;#39;s nowhere close to $100m. &lt;a href="https://t.co/9SqfJk91CA"&gt;https://t.co/9SqfJk91CA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/791818420660600833"&gt;October 28, 2016&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; '><div class="remove-embed-content">x</div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Trump, who repeatedly promises to give $100m to his campaign, gives basically nothing in early October.

At this point, anyone who doesn’t take Bernie Sanders seriously must not be paying attention.</blockquote> I have just quoted the opening paragraph of <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/what-sanders-and-trump-have-in-common/2015/10/01/269acbd6-686b-11e5-9ef3-fde182507eac_story.html">this Eugene Robinson column in today's Washington Post</a>, whose title I have borrowed for this post. First, several comments about Robinson. He has a well-deserved Pulitzer for commentary. As a major figure at the Washington Post, he is clearly a key player in "the Village," that group of writers/thinkers in Washington who help define the consensus about politics and government. He is regular participant at MSNBC, going back to the days when Keith Olbermann was their star host. Having said all that, what is more important is his ability to cut the heart of a matter, what is really significant in the stories that come across the wire. In this case, he starts with how well Sanders did in raising money last quarter, and as most here should know, he raised 26 million to Clinton's 28 million (side observation - Ben Carson apparently raised 30 million in the same time span). Robinson offers several appropriate observation about that data, first about what was raised: <blockquote>Sanders’s money haul has to worry Clinton, not just for its size but for the way it was achieved. The vast majority came in small donations — Sanders’s average contribution is less than $25 . This means he can keep going back to these same supporters later in the campaign. Far more of Clinton’s donors, by contrast, have already maxed out their allowable contributions for the primaries.</blockquote> and then after noting Clinton's very high burn rate, about the cash on hand: <blockquote>As a result, even though the Clinton campaign, since inception, has raised $75 million to Sanders’s $40 million, they have pretty close to the same amount in the bank. He’s sitting on $26 million in cash; she has $32 million.</blockquote> I invite you to continue below the fold. rss@dailykos.com (teacherken) Bernie Sanders BernieSanders cashonhand DonaldTrump EugeneRobinson Fundraising Hillary Clinton HillaryClinton Recommended Washington Post WashingtonPost _1426997 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 10:37:08 +0000 'Deer in the Headlights' -- They're Not!

[...] "Companies weren’t stuck like a deer in the headlights because of regulatory or political uncertainty," he said.

The Clinton aide said she raised 20 million in March and only had 8 million from March primaries.  This confirms what we all thought of limited resources.  This alone is a bad sign for her campaign and argument for Super Delegates.  Which ones would want to turn away a fund raising machine like Obamas?  It is the thing Democrats have dreamed about for years.
