Trump’s Cash Might Not Be Enough for Long Campaign

Although he claims he’s self-funding his campaign, Donald Trump’s “financial disclosure made public this week casts doubt on the idea that he has access to enough cash right now to spend the $1.5 billion or more it’s expected to cost to reach the White House in 2016,” Politico reports.

“Three estimates calculated after the release of the document on Wednesday put the upper limit of his cash and liquid assets at roughly $300 million. That’s plenty of money to get him a long way, but not necessarily all the way to November 2016, if he doesn’t implode first.”

This Politico article would appear to lend some credibility to an Eleanor Clift article I posted earlier today:
