Politico says trump has stopped polling, doesnt want to pay for it.

https://twitter.com/FridaGhitis/status/794971824824188932

Político writer tells MSNBC that Trump has stopped polling - because he refuses to pay his pollster.

May explain campaigning in odd places.


I suspect knows he's lost and does not care, suggestion earlier was, he's flying about to spend all the cash in his businesses and drain the campaign account.

According to FEC reports, he stopped paying his pollster a while back and owes him a boatload of money. He probably stopped paying because the pollster's news was bringing him down.

seriously.

I wouldn't mow his yard for $20 until I had received a check for it and it cleared my bank.

There can't be too many people who did not already know of Trump's reputation for screwing contractors. But after this campaign, 100% of the universe of contractors know. Anybody who does business with Trump deserves to get screwed.

And that means that he will either be unable to hide competent firms or else they will demand such heavy payment security that Trump won't be able to sustain his businesses.
