Donald 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 Trump’s 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. That’s 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 wouldn’t even be enough for a good Senate campaign — or a three-bedroom home in Santa Monica.

In contrast, Hillary Clinton’s campaign had more than $42 million in cash on hand and raised $16 million more than Trump in May alone.

1. But do they have enough to rent one, say from a Trump corporation?

2. To complete your headline, (and yet he is in a dead heat with Clinton

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

3. His June numbers will really be telling, since they say that 'real fundraising' didn't start until

this month. We shall see...

4. Well, Santa Monica has gotten ridiculous. ...
