Key G.O.P. Donors Still Deeply Resist Donald Trump’s Candidacy
“A powerful array of the Republican Party’s largest financial backers remains deeply resistant to Donald J. Trump’s presidential candidacy, forming a wall of opposition that could make it exceedingly difficult for him to meet his goal of raising $1 billion before the November election.
Interviews and emails with more than 50 of the Republican Party’s largest donors, or their representatives, revealed a measure of contempt and distrust toward their own party’s nominee that is unheard of in modern presidential politics…………..
To run a run for the presidency requires $1.2 -1.5 billion dollars……..and it is unlikely Trump will be able to raise that amount of money which is required……….
But more so, Trump has no ground staff in any of the states so far…….not even the battleground states…. How he expects to win a national election where the local media is more important than the national media without a staff to orchestrate a strategy or run a ground game and expect to win is “pie in the sky” ignorance……….
