Trump raised $0 for RNC in October - Yup $0

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-rnc-fundraising-zero-230420

Donald Trump hasn't raised any money for other Republicans this month, despite his campaign's reliance on the party to supply his ground game.
The Republican National Committee's latest report to the Federal Election Commission didn't show any transfers from Trump Victory, its joint fundraising arrangement with the Trump campaign. The GOP nominee isn't planning any more high-dollar events that raise money for the party, The Washington Post has reported.

The victory fund lets the campaign collect larger checks and share the proceeds with the RNC and state parties. The arrangement directed $38.9 million to the RNC and $10.9 million to state parties as of Sept. 30, FEC records show.
But the drop-off this month could starve the organizations of fresh cash at a time when they typically provide phone banks and direct mail that are crucial to getting voters to the polls in the final stretch. Trump is counting on them more than campaigns typically do because his campaign never built a large staff or field operation of its own.


The RNC has its own fundraising, but the joint committees with the presidential nominees are typically a main source of money up and down the ballot.
The crack-up comes in a month when some Republicans abandoned Trump over the release of the 2005 recording in which he bragged about groping women, and the nominee has clashed with party leaders from Speaker Paul Ryan to the chairman of the state party in the key battleground of Ohio.


THERE IS NO GROUND GAME!

Trump's apathy in raising money for republican candidates is akin to sabotage.

If the GOP weren't so stupid, they'd realize that!

It probably felt like a gut punch to him to make that transaction. They are all desperate, like cornered animals. That's why we're seeing this email bullshit today. They're going to try and cause as much chaos as possible in the next 11 days.

I am confident the Clinton campaign is ready for it.
