Yahoo said:
While former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign has been inundated with donations in recent months, reports indicate that President Donald Trump's campaign is fearing a shortage of funds as November 3 draws closer. And these comparative fortunes are already having an effect, it seems — at least on the peace of mind of Trump supporters.

The Washington Post reported Friday Trump's campaign has been pulling television advertising in recent weeks, and it's making supporters nervous:

Post reporters Michael Scherer and Josh Dawsey explain:

Republican officials have been inundated with calls from worried activists and donors who complain about constant Biden ads in their local media markets, with very few paid Trump responses, according to people familiar with the conversations. Some Republicans close to Trump have been baffled at the decision to sharply curb advertising and have told the president he should change course.

By reducing its television advertising, Scherer and Dawsey note, Trump's campaign is "ceding to Democratic nominee Joe Biden a huge advantage in key states and sparking disagreements over strategy within the president's senior team."

The Post journalists point out that Biden's campaign has gone from being "lean" earlier this year to being "flush with cash" — and more cash means more to spend on ads. One of the Republicans who is worried about Biden's cash advantage, according to Scherer and Dawsey, is Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel — whose uncle is Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah. McDaniel, they report, "recently told the president she was concerned his ads were not on television in states such as Michigan and Florida, where Biden was blanketing the airwaves."

Ralph's side of the island.
Maybe Trump supporters are finally remembering he said he would finance his own campaign with all those billions he claims he has.

Or maybe they finally heard that he was pilfering from the coffers of donations like using the inaugural campaign donations for his personal use.

But before getting any comfort from this we need to look at Trump PACs which are funded by the Mercers and/or the Kochs.

Hmm... color me skeptical.

There's a lot of dark money around that man and the whole regime, and I wouldn't be surprised if the books were cooked to a crisp. This could very easily be a ploy to pull in more money (that will likely be siphoned to his pockets.)

Whatever it is, it's no reason for anyone to get cocky about a win. I'm not sure the regime has to spend another dime at this point, TBH: they've already planted the seed idea of "fraud" - and successfully blocked any and all election security, while openly declaring intent to ignore results they don't like and sic agents on polling places or any dissenters - to say whatever they want in November and get away with it.

(I want to be wrong on this.)
