Rick Wilson said in his podcast that trump may be going off the air in AZ, FL

[DaisyTom]

because the campaign is broke. Because of all the internal grifting and the pissing away of $1B raised.

He said the fixed monthly costs for staff alone is about $20,000,000. Which means the campaign has to raise more than that in a month to start to really grow its cash.

2. Could it be the fix is in?

14. No, it has always been about grifting

The only reason Chump wants to "win" is so he can keep on grifting for another 4 years. Same with his entire family.

As for the OP, I have no doubts this is true. I believe Rick Wilson has contacts with campaign insiders - he knows practically everybody in the Repuke Party. I'm sure many of them consider him a friend even though he's working for the other side this time.

3. Imagine that, tRump has always been so good with money.

[Under The Radar]

5. Staff at $20 million, that doesn't include attorney fees for Trump Org

That they have been milking from the RNC for 4 years.

9. Milking the taxpayers too. . .

Using Air Force One to trot all across the county and the use of Secret Service and other things and charge taxpayers pay for it. shithole does not pay for facilities and or space areas either.

12. Yes we are paying for his campaign and did his campaign ever pay for using the WH for convention?

I would think the congress should look to see what expenses has occurred since they review the money.

[mucifer]

6. That was his optimistic statement His pessimistic statement was about stealing votes

[Andy823]

7. So how much of that

$1B went into trumps pocket, one way or another?

[OrlandoDem2]

8. FL is expensive because there are about 12 different media markets.

Super PACs will step in, however.

11. What's there breakdown of the 20 million ? Where does it all go ?

[Squinch]

13. He did this same thing in 2016. It could be because he's broke or it could be because he

thinks the fix is in and he doesn't need to spend the money.

[FakeNoose]

15. I read Chris Christie's book "Let Me Finish"

... about the 2016 campaign. Christie says in the book that Chump considered all the money raised for his campaign as HIS MONEY. He had nothing to do with any of the fundraising, and almost none of the donations came from his own pocket, despite what he said in 2016.

There's a lot more in the book but I won't go into it here. Chump had no thought to actually winning the Presidency in 2016, it was all about the grifting and puffing up the "Trump" brand. Ironic, because their brand is practically worthless now.
