Are you sure they are talking about the election there?
Maybe it's a movie night or something.

I think the magic cult words are, "Believe me."

(3,888 posts)in this particular con.
Candidates get to keep whatever is left in their campaign chests when the race is over. Trump wants his filled.
He wants to pay himself back the $100 million he invested.
And most likely he will stiff many others who have invested in his campaign.
Then he can later say, "I did well in that campaign, made millions", "I'm no loser".

(115,754 posts)They can keep the money for future campaigns but it can't go to them personally. Trump will do his best to try to get around that rule, but the FEC will probably be watching.

(34,136 posts)By holding campaign events at his venues and paying full price for the use of them. I'd bet his "victory party" will be at one of his properties and the campaign will be expected to pay heavily for its use. I'd also bet that win or not the party will go on and the payment for the use of the facility will be collected.
I think Trump has also charged the campaign for the use of his jet, for the catering done by restaurants in his venues and any other items he has ordered that the campaign use so long as his name is attached.

(115,754 posts)The FEC needs to tighten up its rules about self-dealing, that's for sure.

(297,339 posts)Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez to Perform for Clinton Campaign in 'Love Trumps Hate' Series
Even as her rival Donald Trump is slipping in the polls, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is pulling out the big guns in battleground states in an attempt to sway any undecided voters. The campaign announced a series of events dubbed "Love Trumps Hate" that will feature performances by Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and Jon Bon Jovi, among others.
In a press release announcing the effort, the campaign said, "The performance series will feature a number of artists performing in battleground states who will energize our supporters and encourage them to turn out to vote on Election Day or to take advantage of early voting options in their states." More performances will be announced in the coming days.
The phrase "love trumps hate" was used by Clinton during her primetime address at the Democratic National Convention in July. The announcement explained that the performances will also serve as a recruiting opportunity to find new volunteers for the home stretch of the campaign. "In the final weeks of the campaign, what voters will hear from these performers and all HFA surrogates is that Hillary Clinton has the experience and steadiness to bring people together and get real results," the statement continued. "The choice in this election is clear. We can either come together to tackle the big challenges facing the country or let Donald Trump keep tearing us apart with his divisive rhetoric and dangerous ideas. Thats why millions of people are coming together to support Hillary Clinton and send a clear message that love trumps hate."

Love does trump hate. People should have the freedom to love whoever they love. Women should have equal pay for equal work. Roe v. Wade means every women in this country, including Texas, has the right to choose. Inclusiveness, not exclusion. Saying no to a culture steeped in racism and sexism. Economic equality.
I am not a vulgar person, but I have no problem calling Trump a sick fuck. What needs to be said just needs to be said.

(22,671 posts)You're about as likely to cash in on that chance as you are to with Powerball, with far less reward.
18 or so days to make it happen for Hillary. Big GOTV push this weekend across the country. If any of you have a few hours to spare, this would be the time to do your part. A mountain of work yet to be done before election day.

Retrograde
(10,137 posts)so why does he need paltry $3 contributions? I got a letter (in an envelope and everything) from the Trump campaign last week asking for money from "Republicans like you", odd since I've been registered as a No Party Preference voter here in California for as long as I can remember. I'd love to see a thorough accounting of his campaign when the dust settles.
