"SNIP............
As top Republicans expressed astonishment and alarm over Donald Trumps paltry campaign fundraising totals, the presumptive nominee blamed party leaders Tuesday and threatened to rely on his personal fortune instead of helping the GOP seek the cash it needs, the Washington Post reports.
Such a move would effectively amount to abandonment of the Republican National Committee and the rest of the GOP ticket, which relies on the presidential nominee to help raise hundreds of millions to fund a national field organization for the fall elections.

Races. It's all about him and what he can con out of the rnc and donors before the campaign slides into the abyss.

(7,627 posts)7. This is why Paul Ryan is getting busy fundraising
and writing platform policies and such. He is trying to mitigate the damage by raising money for their down ballot people. Of course, its probably too late anyway for them. They made the mistake to hitch themselves with Trump and he has tainted them.
