    Is there a possibility that trump has directed so many donations to himself that he has actually taken a substantial bite out of the usual republican donations that keep these local parties alive?

      I was wondering just this. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to fundraise based on this: “Minnesota’s Republican party is broke thanks to the socialist Democrats! Contribute today to support make Minnesota great again! Donate in the next 8 hours for 1000x matching!” (In tiny print in the email: “1000x matching only for the first $1 contributed overall. 99% of donations go to a Trump super PAC with the reminder going to the Minnesota GOP.”)

    I think we’re going to see in the future is that Trump is superb at is scamming people.

    Each and every red dollar not given to the Republicans is likely given to Trump

    What do they get out of it? Feeling morally superior. It’s like when people would pay priests ahead of time to bank a few sins they wanted to do.
