Hillary Clinton's FEC Financial Data as of May 31, 2016

http://www.fec.gov/fecviewer/CandidateCommitteeDetail.do

III. CASH SUMMARY
Beginning Cash On Hand $0
Ending Cash On Hand $42,461,785
Net Contributions $206,834,206
Net Operating Expenditures $186,808,721
Debts/Loans Owed By $1,228,227
Debts/Loans Owed To $0

Compare these to Trumps at: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512228242

Hillary is far, far more prepared for her campaign than Donald, who has little cash on hand and a great deal of debt, most of which is owed to himself through loans to the campaign by himself.

A lot this month. I bet he's going to get 30 million or more.

He forgave 40 million in loans (not sure if that'd count as a contribution), has been doing a lot of fundraising and emails. He's also spent very little this month.

I wouldn't discount his fundraising capability.

Who's going to donate to him, anyhow?

He's a disaster. It would be throwing money away for nothing. Anyone with any sense can see that he will never be the President. Why invest in a losing proposition. He doesn't even have support from major GOP leaders.

He is well and truly hosed.

Train of thought.

I think him forgiving the loans was a requirement of big money donors before they give. Along with Paul Ryan pseudo endorsing and other leaders, I can see him picking up steam.

There's people on the right who really really don't want a Democrat and June was Donald's first month at fundraising.
