Yes. Completely pathetic. They know they're going to lose.

Trone is nothing like Trump.

NPR liked Trone to Trump today. So sorry, they were just being honest. You know... NPR?

Yes. This is really unfortunate.

Maybe in terms of paying for their own campaigns. We're not stupid, PP. We're not Trump supporters.

In terms of being used to getting whatever they want, just because they can buy it.

And by the way I'm a minority and a woman. I've met him and know his stand on the important issues.

He doesn't have a stand on anything.

I am voting for him over Matthews...she has done nothing.

Trump actually hasn't paid for his own campaign.

OP, I think you're a moron who can't read or listen.

Trone doesn't accept more than a $10 donation. Trump has accepted 9.5 million thus far:

Since OP is an obvious moron, here it is spelled out:

"The Democratic Donald Trump?

Trone is taking some contribution, but not more than $10 (his website blocks anything larger). He can't recoup any of the money he's given his campaign either, because it's not a loan; many self-financing candidates eventually repay themselves.

He argues that refusing donations is what separates him from another wealthy businessman who's bankrolling his campaign: Donald Trump. Trone points out that Trump is in fact accepting donations for his White House bid — about $9.5 million so far.

And while Trump's main selling point is also his business acumen, Trone says unlike the bombastic real estate mogul, he didn't "start 10 feet from home plate," alluding to the financial help the Republican got from his own father as he was starting his career.

So why entirely fund his campaign? Trone said he didn't relish the thought of spending the majority of his time fundraising, even though as a longtime Democratic donor he argued it wouldn't have been hard to raise the money he needed. Plus, he says the decision keeps him beholden to no one — a familiar refrain Trump also uses on the campaign trail."

The difference is that Trone has lived up to his motto and Trump hasn't.

I think the slogan is more like, "I am voting for Matthews because he hosts the best bipartisan cocktail parties".

Progressives care about a fair playing field. Billionaire Trone will pay whatever it takes to win. The hell with fairness. He's used to getting his way, no matter what.

Trone doesn't belong here behaving like that, but his A-kissing "friends" aren't telling him the truth. Let him go with the Trump cash machine. He simply doesn't fit here.


He's not a billionaire. Not even close.

I like him, too. I'm voting for him.

Because if you're that rich, you must be a "good" guy?


I'll bet Matthews, via her husband, has a higher net worth than Trone.

Trump has been out spent by his opponents and their super PACs five-fold. Your comparison is very weak.

I think you'd be wrong.

They're in the same ballpark.

This. David Trone is complete scum. He will again outspend his opponents five-fold, or however much he thinks it'll take.

Watch him closely.
