Trump raised $0 for RNC in October

Source: Politico

Donald Trump hasn't raised any money for other Republicans this month, despite his campaign's reliance on the party to supply his ground game.

The Republican National Committee's latest report to the Federal Election Commission didn't show any transfers from Trump Victory, its joint fundraising arrangement with the Trump campaign. The GOP nominee isn't planning any more high-dollar events that raise money for the party, The Washington Post has reported.

The victory fund lets the campaign collect larger checks and share the proceeds with the RNC and state parties. The arrangement directed $38.9 million to the RNC and $10.9 million to state parties as of Sept. 30, FEC records show.

But the drop-off this month could starve the organizations of fresh cash at a time when they typically provide phone banks and direct mail that are crucial to getting voters to the polls in the final stretch. Trump is counting on them more than campaigns typically do because his campaign never built a large staff or field operation of its own.

You see it, but it adds no value.

Not that he is trying to, he just is that bad a candidate...
