Trump’s “self funding” has been one of his talking points throughout the primaries. While he did raise token amounts of money and sell a few hats, some $43 million of the $60 million spent by Donald J. Trump’s campaign came in the form of loans from Donald J. Trump. In March alone, Trump loaned his campaign more than $11 million. Then in April, he loaned his campaign $7 million. Then in May, it was just $2 million. Since then? We don’t know.

But even as Trump’s pipeline to Trump was running dry, he failed to build any of the fundraising infrastructure of a traditional campaign. Instead, he sat back and allowed the campaign coffers to empty while writing checks back to his own companies.

While Trump continues to be the beneficiary of unprecedented amounts of free media coverage, allowing him to limp along without dusting off his checkbook, his non-campaign is not running ads, not making appearances with other Republican nominees, and not creating the get out the vote organization that will deliver the maximum percentage of Republican voters to the polls. What is Trump doing? He’s worrying other Republicans.

Republican senators are sounding the alarm bells over Donald Trump's weak fundraising game, warning that he could hurt the Republicans running for senate in November.

1. I read the Koch Brothers are going to throw their money at Senate races instead of Trump....

Apparently they're not well pleased with Tinyfingers, so the money will go toward trying to retain control of the Senate.
