Breitbart: Holman Jenkins at the Wall Street Journal took a look at Donald Trump’s finances over the weekend, and suggested the outspoken billionaire might not be able to afford to keep a serious national campaign going past the first few states:
None of his offenses against propriety seem to have dinged the support that, in a crowded race, keeps Donald Trump atop the GOP primary polls.
Republicans are now talking about a brokered convention, which could be a disaster for the country, and for the GOP, and quite possibly hand the election to Hillary Clinton without a real contest or even critique of her agenda.
So goes the fear. But unless we miss our guess, our long national nightmare-cum-sketch comedy show actually has a termination date. It will end the moment campaigning begins to threaten Mr. Trump’s finances and business interests.
Actually, as Jenkins notes further in his piece, Trump’s campaign already has already damaged his business interests: more
Trump to establishment: FOAD.
Trump to supporters: “Let’s show the GOPe morons. Please send me just 10 bucks. If I don’t need it, I promise it goes to support Veterans”.
Three days later – $10 million in cash.
Wishful thinking.
Ain’t true.
BUT: even if it were…
one brief “I for your contributions” speech from Trump and he’d get a few hundred million.
What part of “billionaire” does Jenkins not understand?
Is he signaling that the RNC won’t support the nominee? What about the pledge?
More like three hours later!
If this goes on much longer, Trump should bring this subject up at the next debate and ask, if the GOP is trying to oust him who is it they are trying to install?
More desperation from the GOP
Yep.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
What they are signaling is: You better take our “campaign contributions” and do our bidding or else. The problem they have is that Trump is going to call them out on this too. Just watch.
Trump is a different sort of cat from what American Presidents have become. I would bet that a Trump vacation, should he become President will cost a pittance compared to what the gay Marxist and his beard have gotten used to. Bet Trump would even put the Secret Service up for free in one of his resorts. The Goddamned Democrats and eRepublicans charge the Secret Service (actually the taxpayers) rent to park their RV on the bastard’s property.
And why shouldn’t Trump take contributions from business? After all, if he wins the nomination, shouldn’t he have the privilege of choosing the cronies for his flavor of capitalism? This is a political process, isn’t it?
What part of this doesn’t the GOPe get, the part where they are out, or the part where Donald is in?
Holman Jenkins is “Finance Guy” like Bill Nye is “Science Guy”.
the GoatRoper GOPErs are trying to install HITLERY….they are the same as the DHIMMOS….clones….
The GOPe reminds me of that fan on Major League who says “Too high” as the ball goes over the fence.
Hey Tux, LOL! Very funny and on target.
How about the GOPe reminds me of Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory, “They’re having fun wrong!”
Jeb spent 25 million to get to 3%
Trump has spent virtually zero
Trump wins because: Reasons
I think Parade magazine last week reported Trump made $353 million last year. Almost $1 million per day.
money is not the worry .. the delegate scam a lama
& massive, voter fraud is staring us in the eye ..
Trump is leading with 40% and has spent $216,000. Jeb has spent millions and is down to 6%.
This reporter better sharpen his Common Core pencil.
Don’t forget – Rupert Murdoch owns WSJ as well as Fox. They are the RINO’s propaganda machine. It was Rupert who gave the order to take Trump out at the first debate and it was Fox that did all they could to make Rupert happy.
