Trump will not spend a cent of his own money during this campaign. Any money he spends early will be recouped on the back end. Trump got to where he is on other people's money. Trump will see this an opportunity to make a whole bunch more money on the backs of people who can't afford to give up that money. His
Super PACs will
fill up with cash from those frustrated Tea Party voters, and some
very well off individuals, but at some point the cold harsh reality of him not having any
understanding of politics or
foreign affairs is going to make the people that matter abandon him. If Trump survives to Super Tuesday I will be shocked.

He is a blowhard, of that there is no doubt, but at least he isn't bought and paid for by corporate America.

Well he does have corporate support behind him in many of the products he promotes, like his clothing line, and
golf courses, but that
appears to taking some hits. What is interesting is he's reportedly
connected to the mob, and it is unlikely that he or
those associations will want those connections probed during the vetting process. He also has connections to some pretty sketchy characters from other countries as well, like
Anar Mammadov. It is very hypocritical of Trump to make some of the statements he has considering his foreign investments and business partners. The most important thing is the
Koch brothers do not support Trump and refuse to see him as a viable candidate. Without out their money and blessing it is going to be tough to get the support at the primaries. Plus, Trumps negatives,
57 percent within his own party, make him unelectable. The early swell of
populist support rarely lasts when the big boys start playing politics.
Nuts to Trump?
