Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
I don't believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign, the only one.
I will keep doing, but not worth it!

I also hope Cruz wins the nomination so we can Birth Certificate/Birther the hell out of him!!! I hope our side crucifies him for being born out of country.. after all of the shit they slung are our great President for it!
Personally, I normally wouldn't care. That whole natural born citizen part was put in specifically and ONLY to prevent monarchs from "buying" the presidency when we were still a small and new nation, but after all they did to Obama over it (and they were wrong), I am not at all opposed to some well deserved payback when they bring in a candidate that WAS born outside of the US.

(11,093 posts)Any other asshole rich dilettante who wanted to go for it could have done so much. I credit you for doing it on a shoestring - you know how to leverage publicity, to be sure - but make no mistake, people aren't rewarding you for doing it without outside funding. Those that were, didn't care, and those that don't, wish you hadn't.
