Could Republican Donor Strike Lead Trump to Take Public Financing?
Posted on June 13, 2016 6:52 am by Rick HasenI doubt it, but here’s Politico:Still, many are struggling to see a clear path forward. Zwick noted that Trump is far behind where Romney was in the donor chase at this point four years ago. One option, he said, is for Trump to accept public financing. Under federal election laws, that would allow him to receive a lump sum of government funds while capping how much he’d be able to spend. In 2008, John McCain accepted public financing but found himself massively outspent by Barack Obama.The prospect of a controversial billionaire accepting taxpayer funding would be one of the more bizarre twists of the 2016 campaign. But for a struggling Trump, it might be worth pursuing — especially with rising doubts about whether he can fill his coffers.“Could they get organized and pull it off? Sure,” Zwick said. “They don’t have a lot of time left.”Posted in campaign finance, campaigns
