        2. The self-financing con was one of the 2 big reasons GOP fell in love with Trump (the other was Mexican rapist comments).

        3. Here's the hilarious thing. Trump is a self-financing billionaire who isn't even paying top staffers:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-campaign-has-not-paid-at-least-ten-top-staffers?utm_content=bufferbc165&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer …

        .@HeerJeet Perhaps you can help. Where in Trump's FEC report does it say Trump's loans turned to contributions? Not in lines 17d & 19a, colB

        @Fahrenthold Would you help me with this? Not getting traction with a handful of others. Figure it's an easy question for the right person.
