They are running away from him fast as they can and the rubes sure don't have anything to give him
WASHINGTON — Thousands of wealthy donors who helped fuel Republicans’ presidential ambitions in the last two election cycles have not donated to Donald Trump’s campaign or to other committees supporting his bid, underscoring the challenge the real-estate magnate faces in securing the hundreds of millions he needs to finance his general-election campaign.
In all, Trump raised $3.1 million from other donors last month, despite effectively clinching the nomination May 3. By comparison, Romney collected $11.4 million in April 2012, after becoming the GOP’s nominee-in-waiting when Rick Santorum abandoned his bid on April 12.
“It’s fundraising malpractice to have become the nominee on May 3 and not have a low-dollar solicitation go out immediately and do call days and bundling events with high-dollar donors,” said Charles Spies, a veteran Republican lawyer who helped organize Bush’s super PAC, helped found Romney’s super PAC in 2012 and served as CFO of Romney’s 2008 presidential campaign.
“They lost a month that they could not afford to lose,” he said.
Analysis: Thousands of Republican donors avoid Donald Trump
