Trump Continued to Trail Clinton's Fundraising in September

Donald Trump raised $100 million for himself and the Republican Party in September, distantly trailing Democratic competitor Hillary Clinton as the campaign enters its final stretch.

Trump and a pair of joint fundraising committees with the party began October with $75 million on hand, the Trump campaign said in a statement today.

Clinton said earlier that she raised $154 million for her campaign and the Democrats, and started October with twice Trump’s cash on hand.

Barring a last-minute infusion from the billionaire candidate himself, the figures show that Clinton’s massive financial advantage is all but certain to continue through Election Day. She and allied super-PACs have booked $78.3 million in ad buys for the last three weeks before the Nov. 8 vote, more than twice the amount booked by Trump and his backers.

1. Is that $100M before or after his donors asked for their money back?

2. "Barring a last-minute infusion from the billionaire himself"

Is Bloomberg having a little LOL there?

4. I think so. "Self-financed" is hard to do when you're really broke.
