Trump started June with $1.3 million... Hillary started June with $42 million

Trump started June with $1.3 million... Hillary started June with $42 million

Damn

[Thomas D]

That's not too bad.........

[Ebsy]

Trump

Clinton

[psychprofessor]

in all honesty these are devastating numbers...he can't afford tv; media; field staff and organizers...absolutely brutal

[heatcharger]

Trump

Clinton

Just heard that Romney at this point had $17 million cash on hand. Also, $45 million of debt??? How?

[Likely Voter]

Trump essentially floats his campaigns loans every month so cash on hand doesn't really matter. He lends as much as he thinks the campaign needs, or he has so far. But I believe he has said he isn't going to do that anymore now that the primaries are done.

Wow. Considering Clinton is going to raise another 300-500 million to her campaign alone outside of any super PAC money.....this is troubling for Trump.

[Maxwell]

but but but democrats are fiscally irresponsible! Trump's gonna balance the budget! 100 million trillion dollars in debt doesn't lie folks!!!!

[Suck my caulk]

This is result of Trump successfully convincing a majority of Americans that he is a billionaire and that he does not need anyone's money.

Money doesn't buy elections, as evidenced by Obama being vastly outspent in 2012... But it sure as hell helps

Obama was not vastly outspent in 2012.

[Gass3268]

This explains why he's spending $0 on ads and only has 30 staff members nationwide.

For a senate candidate.

Just heard that Romney at this point had $17 million cash on hand.

No, Mittens actually had 107 million coh.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

This explains why he's spending $0 on ads and only has 30 staff members nationwide.

But it doesn't explain why he spent $400,000 on renting Mar-a-Lago from himself.

Trump's campaign is, for all intents and purposes, is broke.

If Trump were running for a House race and he posted a fundraising total this horrible, everyone would rate is as Safe D without any debate.

[Holmes]

Mhmm. Unless something happens, he won't have staff (or volunteers?) on the ground in swing states. RNC staff will probably pretend to work for him in these states on the surface, but will probably end up just working towards saving the downballot by the fall. Speaking of which, the Dems' superior organization and advantage on the airwaves will likely lead them to victory in quite a few swing districts.

[Desroko]

It's going to be hilarious when this guy accepts public funds and then uses half of it to retire his debt to himself.

Obama was not vastly outspent in 2012.

In the aggregate (campaigns, PACs, outside spending, etc), I believe he was. Or maybe it was the other way around (Romney's campaign raised more than Obama's)? I can't recall which, but he was outspent in one of those two categories.

EDIT: It was the aggregate presidential spending. Romney had a huge advantage in outside spending that gave him the overall edge.

Obama was not vastly outspent in 2012.

In the aggregate (campaigns, PACs, dark money, etc), I believe he was. Or maybe it was the other way around (Romney's campaign raised more than Obama's)? I can't recall which, but he was outspent in one of those two categories.

If Obama spent 900 million and Romney 1 billion that's not vastly outspent.

^^^ Just referring to the fact that Obama was outspent.

If Trump was such a buffoon, he could have used this to his advantage.

You could easily argue that Obama spent more when adjusted for spending efficiency. Super pacs are overstated in their influence because they pay commercial rates for television and mail.
