His ego wants him to win but you can likely bet he doesn't want to govern. Makes you wonder if he's just trying to secretly throw it and then blame it on corruption and Clinton fraud.

That is his ideal scenario. He can even go around callling himself "the duly elected President of the United States" and never need to do a bit of work, or own any responsibility.

Just what exactly is Trump doing with all that campaign cash he is raising? I know a lot goes to the party, but based on what he has raised for himself even, shouldn't there be more investments?

I bolded where you likely answered your own question.

Oh I must have tuned out momentarily. I did mean to write 'his campaign' but evidently I did answer my own question. How silly of me Tongue

He charges the campaign a few hundred thousand dollars every time he holds an event at one of his properties. He probably made half a million when he gave the birther speech in DC on Friday.

Seems like it's almost too late at this point for that money to make much difference even if it is allocated. Whatever his strategy is makes zero sense, so I'm inclined to agree that he doesn't really want to win.

Today is FEC filing day.  Will be interesting to see how much cash Trump started September with.

Again, if Trump were really worth 7 billion or however much he claims to be, he would just write his campaign a check for a few hundred million, which would be the equivalent of a Middle Class Family buying a couch, a computer, or a big screen TV. He doesn't because he can't.
