    "When Republicans nominated Trump, they thought that they were getting a billionaire who could help the party raise money while throwing his own cash into the pot for his White House bid.

    What the GOP is stuck with is a deadbeat who talks a good game that they are going to have to fund in the general election because he is either unwilling or unable to pull his own weight."

    Is any sane and intelligent right thinking citizen/voter really surprised?

    Again, I despise Trump, but calling him a "deadbeat"? No, can't agree there. Which candidate, Dem or GOP, have fully funded their own campaign themselves in the primary and general election?

    So you are more happy with a candidate that has sold out to corporations and has the money to run ads then someone who has remained true to his statements.

    Gotcha

    With Trump now reneging on his campaign promise, none. Look for him to also recoup the loans he gave to his campaign from the GOP and super PACS.

    Now that he fooled the shills he will go full suckle on the teat of the establishment for the general election.

    Way to spread an obvious lie, an unsourced one to boot. What was likely said was along the lines of needing lots of money to counter the billion that Hillary will easily raise from unions, MSM including Hollywood, limousine liberals, and... the same exact corporate donors GOP expect to raise money from.

    You have basically repeated a partisan rag's spin on a clickbait article from another source, not even original reporting. Hope Trump sues the F out of them and wins.

    Is that what the voters who nominated Trump against the party leaders' wishes wanted? Someone to throw money into the party? I wanted him to demolish the GOP and think it'd be funny if he uses their own money to do it. Pretty sure that's what most of us who nominated Trump wanted. Did the person who wrote that article watch or read any news at all for the past year?

    Ohhh, I see, he just figures his dumb liberal readers haven't. Luckily the folks here at PF are too well informed to fall for this absurd fantasy about how and why Trump was nominated.

    His goal is to destroy the GOP. This is just part of it. All makes sense. Now we wants to divert money from the other campaigns so that the house and senate go to the democrats.

    See polifact for how true Trump has remained to his statements. He hasn't even self funded his primary campaign despite his lying claims.

    He is starting to disintegrate. Chump University is only the first shot. Next is the leak of his tax returns that show the rest of his business sucess is also a fraud. Then his pre nuptial agreement is going to come out showing that she doesn't have to copulate with the orange freak and than it goes downhill from there.

    my personal standard is that if all a story has to go on is "unnamed sources" then I would consider it as bs.

    A crap partisan blog that also declares the GOP has a "war on women" as another "fact." It's a blog by Democrat liars, nothing else.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The freakiest, more corrupt lying lying clown of all who is an outright thief, murderer, conspirator in rape, sexist and racist bigot is Hillary Clinton - the worse and most evil person ever to run for President.

    Your turn again.

    Yep he sounds doomed. And please stop the racist comments. The constant attention to skin color from the left is getting old.

    And Hillary dodged sniper fire.

    You seemed shocked that politicians lie.

    Unless a candidate fully funds their campaign from primary through general, ALL of them are selling out INCLUDING Trump. The only thing I will say about that though, is there hasn't been ANY candidate Dem or GOP that have fully funded their campaign from primary through the general.

    First of all, you guys don't seem to have an issue when someone on the right calls Hillary "Cankles", so save us your faux outrage there.

    Second of all, Trump is so orange he looks like he is king of the Oompa Loompas. Maybe he finally overthrew Willy Wonka.

    Orange skin describes Oompa Loompas. What do you have against Oompa Loompas?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Well then Trump is the king of a lost nation of oompa loompas, but he still is the biggest oompa loompa out there.

    I saw something about the RNC pulling the plug on the $$ if he is behind by more than 6% in most polls in October. (and diverting it to congressional candidates)
