If the biggest contributors end up being the leaders. Trump will be the automatic leader. He's gonna have to liquidate a billion to run if he truly is serious. All from his pocket apparently
I don't think he has it
I believe his official numbers are 9 or 10 billion in asset after debt. 90% of which is most likely locked in real estate. He's gonna have to sell some proprieties IMO

I wouldn't feel too bad, most Americans know little about the system.
One of the plums I hear often is... "the Dems got more votes nationwide but the Reps have control. They must have cheated".
As we vote by district for Congress, the nationwide vote count doesn't matter.
Or one of my favorites... "the Reps gerrymandered their way in" 
No-one whines though when it's their party doing the gerrymandering. The silence when their party does it is astonishing. Odd how quiet those complaining about Republican gerrymandering get when you show them:


Unless the Reps miraculously developed a majority in Chicago or Maryland, this was Dem doings.
No-one should gerrymander, both sides do.
End off-topic rant.

What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I sincerely doubt that.

The primaries are about more than money. If Bobby Jindal had 30 billion, he still couldn't get the nomination after that state of the union disaster. Likewise, Chris Christie is too big of an ass and too much of an amateur to get anywhere, especially after he made out with Obama right before the last presidential election.
Sure, money means A LOT, but it's not everything. Some people are just not going to get anywhere for reasons that have nothing to do with money.
Currently, polls favor Bush. Walker is pretty close behind, but it'll be hard for him to catch up if Bush manages to snag the people who supported his brother and father. Many big donors who supported his brother and father are still on the fence. If they swing toward Bush, it'll be very difficult for Walker to compete cash wise.
It's possible that Walker could still make a play involving intentionally losing some primaries in order to win a bunch of other lesser ones. However, Bush's family has more experience with that kind of political strategy (which states need to be won, etc.). Further, Bush could play to a stalemate with a brokered convention in which he would be handed the nomination. Walker has to actively avoid such a stalemate.
No one is going to vote for trump (ever). Trump isn't in it for anything but fame anyway. Stick to Canadian politics, you don't understand American politics.
