BIG SPENDER: GOP mega-donor Adelson to give Trump up to $100 million.
Trump will indeed need the support. Much of the billionaire businessman’s success in the primary race came from his ability to fund his own campaign and tell voters that he is not beholden to corporate, Wall Street or lobbyists’ interests.
However, his own wealth and small-donor contributions would be no match for those of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic machine behind her if the front-running Clinton becomes Trump’s general election opponent.
That money would be better spent on upgrading Trump’s nonexistent GOTV machine than on lame TV spots which enriched consultants and ad buyers, but did nothing to help Romney four years ago.
