[EL] Question re: Trump fundraising

[Sean Parnell]

I have a question I’m hoping the people on the list can help with: what is a reasonable date by which to expect Trump to have a rough estimate of his June fundraising total available? Assuming that he has a halfway competent caging and compliance operation (possibly an unwarranted assumption) I’d think that by early next week his campaign ought to be able to release a rough estimate. Ben Carson was able at the end of the third quarter last year to announce his estimated $20 million haul on October 2 (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/02/ben-carson-sets-gop-bar-20-million-haul/). Given his poor performance in May, I’d think there will be more than a little interest in his releasing those numbers quickly, and if he did as well as he’s suggesting there can’t be any reason I can think of why he wouldn’t put those numbers out ASAP to quell any concerns people may have.

 

Thoughts? Am I right, or at least reasonable, in thinking he ought to have at least a rough estimate available early next week? It’s been more than a decade since I prepared any of these reports myself, but I know that for four years I was able to tell my candidate on the last day of every filing period what we’d be reporting, give or take a few thousand dollars.
