Did Trump really raise $100mil in September?

I got an email from the Hillary campaign asking for a contribution and that's what it said.

Can that possibly be true? Is there a way for that lying fraud of a campaign inflate those numbers to look more impressive and successful or if that's the number it's pretty accurate?

Did that really come from all of those cult slobs that adore him? Most of which probably can barely afford it. But I guess they think it's a good ROI as he is going to make them richer than they have ever been, believe me!

My God if Trump wins this country will start cozying up to 2/3 of George Bush's axis of evil and Ronald Reagan's nemesis...Putin.

Republicans have COMPLETELY ABANDONED all of their foreign policy beliefs to follow a crazy cult leader....just because they have irrational hatred of a woman. How sad is that?

I can't imagine what kind of shithole he would turn this country in to. People think it's only 4 years. A whole lot of bad can happen in 4 years, some possibly irreversible in most of our lifetimes.

I would be terrified if I had daughters, I truly would be.

$99mil will be spent on goods and services from tRump businesses. The rest will be wasted on ads.
