Related: About this forumDonald Trump's campaign doesn't have enough money for a three-bedroom home in Santa Monica
--------------------
If you know how to read them, Federal Election Commission filings tell a story. Donald Trumps most recent report, released Monday, tells a rather sad one of a campaign that falls far below basic standards of professional competence.
The most important number in the filing is $1,289,507.76. Thats the amount of cash the Trump campaign had on hand as of May 31, a grossly inadequate sum for the demands of a contemporary presidential campaign, which requires a large national staff, a sophisticated get-out-the-vote operation and lots of television advertising. It wouldnt even be enough for a good Senate campaign or a three-bedroom home in Santa Monica.
In contrast, Hillary Clintons campaign had more than $42 million in cash on hand and raised $16 million more than Trump in May alone.

in Ohio and PA.) What happens if he starts running ads?

this month. We shall see...
