The fund raising game, hope this put some of you at ease

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/clinton-continues-fundraising-dominance-over-trump/

Trump raised $90 million in August, according to a report from CNN Wednesday, compared to Clinton’s whopping and record-setting $143 million in the same month. All told, since launching her campaign, Clinton’s raised $327 million and spent $268 million.

Trump, who said at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Tuesday he expected “very big” figures, has thus far pulled in $128 million in campaign funds, however, nearly half has come from his own pockets.
