There is a lot of turmoil among GOoPer donors.

Key G.O.P. Donors Still Deeply Resist Donald Trump’s Candidacy

Even the richest need campaign money. He wants a billion dollars.

But he is so unpopular that a group of traditional money men (no women apparently) are openly refusing to support him.

“He’s an ignorant, amoral, dishonest and manipulative, misogynistic, philandering, hyper-litigious, isolationist, protectionist blowhard,” Mr. Vlock said. Mr. Vlock said he might give to Hillary Clinton instead, describing her as “the devil we know.” “I really believe our republic will survive Hillary,” he said."

I am sure he will get enough money. The thing is that this unseemly scrambling is anything but Presidential. That whole "timbre*" thing.

The Donald is clearly not ready for prime time at the level of a national election. Not when the people most needed to support him refuse to stand up and what is more vilify him in the process.

Jeez. I was happy to live through another election cycle but now I am delighted. I have never seen anything like this one. From Truman to Clinton we have seen all kinds of things but this takes the cake. Where is the cake, I want to throw it. A cream pie?

*I purposely used this word timbre to awake an old argument about the metaphor and how it is used. Most people assume that the word means timber as a tree, wood, the possibility of useful harvest. But the term came about a different way. by comparing the voices of candidates on the radio in the Thirties. The way that they came across was limited to their words and the timbre of their voices.It is interesting that Trump has used the "call-in" type of format on the early news shows so the voice is back again. A new "radio" effect or is it affect? You are on your own for that one; e/a?
