Donald Trump's joint fundraising committees with the Republican Party had a higher burn rate than those of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. While Trump's campaign has touted its burgeoning digital operation, the Trump Make America Great Again Committee made massive investments trying to reach donors through the mail. Altogether, Trump and the Republican Party raised nearly $212 million through two joint fundraising committees in the last three months. Trump's campaign reaped more than $68 million of the proceeds, while another $59 million was transferred to the RNC and state parties. That means that for every dollar that the Trump committees brought in, about 28 cents went to operational costs, while the Clinton committees spent about 20 cents of every dollar.
