Hillary is far, far more prepared for her campaign than Donald, who has little cash on hand and a great deal of debt, most of which is owed to himself through loans to the campaign by himself.

He forgave 40 million in loans (not sure if that'd count as a contribution), has been doing a lot of fundraising and emails. He's also spent very little this month.
I wouldn't discount his fundraising capability.

He's a disaster. It would be throwing money away for nothing. Anyone with any sense can see that he will never be the President. Why invest in a losing proposition. He doesn't even have support from major GOP leaders.
He is well and truly hosed.

I think him forgiving the loans was a requirement of big money donors before they give. Along with Paul Ryan pseudo endorsing and other leaders, I can see him picking up steam.
There's people on the right who really really don't want a Democrat and June was Donald's first month at fundraising.
