Update: 5/31/16, "Adelson aides in talks to set up pro-Trump super PAC," Politico, Isenstadt. "The need to establish a muscular centralized super PAC as opposed to having a multitude of competing ones."...
====================
...........
Great America Super PAC "is specifically going after small contributors via a
fundraising account called the Trump Make America Great Again Committee,
which will split those gifts 80 percent to 20 percent with the
Republican National Committee. An email seeks donations of $35."...
May 31, 2016, "Trump super PAC’s new political guru must wait to do work," AP via Washington Post,
"Great America (Super PAC) had raised about $1 million through the end of April.
That’s not enough to cover all of its planned expenses, leaving it more
than $200,000 in the hole.
The group has taken an unusual approach to raising money.
Traditionally,
super political action committees go after big money because they face
no contribution limits....Yet Great America has
raised a majority of its money from people giving $200 or less. Just 6.3
percent of its contributions are coming from donors giving more than
$200, according to campaign finance documents through April 30.
In
television ads meant to generate fundraising, Great America asks Trump
supporters to dial a telephone number. Those callers are told a pledge
of $50 to $75 would be used for “building the financial and grassroots
organization needed to win the White House.”
Likewise, in emailed
fundraising solicitations last week, Great America asks for a “generous
contribution of $25, $50, $75, or even $100 or more” to the super PAC.
That
means Great America is potentially cannibalizing from the same pool of
donors who could be giving to the Trump campaign directly.
The
campaign is specifically going after small contributors via a
fundraising account called the Trump Make America Great Again Committee,
which will split those gifts 80 percent to 20 percent with the
Republican National Committee. An email seeks donations of $35."...
