When Donald Trump said he was self-funding, people sent him money anyway <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click/6737062.30486/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL25ld3MvdGhlLWZpeC93cC8yMDE2LzAzLzIxL2RvbmFsZC10cnVtcHMtc2VsZi1mdW5kZWQtcHJlc2lkZW50aWFsLWNhbXBhaWduLWlzLTEtdmVyeS10aHJpZnR5LWFuZC0yLW5vdC10aGF0LXNlbGYtZnVuZGVkLz93cG1tPTEmd3Bpc3JjPW5sX3RyYWls/5728a16715dd9659088b55adC184a10a4> — millions of dollars' worth. Now, Trump's campaign continues to disavow super PACs. And those outside groups are going to spend money on him anyway too, this time funded by people who may be willing to send millions of dollars each.

But where Hillary Clinton's super PAC infrastructure was hammered out long before the first primary, Trump's remains a work-in-progress — leaving the billionaires currently lining up to send him cash unsure about where <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click/6737062.30486/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL3BvbGl0aWNzL2JpbGxpb25haXJlcy1saW5pbmctdXAtZm9yLXRydW1wLWFyZW50LXN1cmUtd2hlcmUtdG8tc2VuZC10aGVpci1tb25leS8yMDE2LzA1LzE1L2FhNzg5NmUyLTE5NTMtMTFlNi05ZTE2LTJlNWExMjNhYWM2Ml9zdG9yeS5odG1sP3dwbW09MSZ3cGlzcmM9bmxfdHJhaWw/5728a16715dd9659088b55adDcfcee9b2> to send their checks, and "Trump advisers, GOP strategists and major donors puzzling over a key strategic question: Where should the six- and seven-figure contributions go?" reports <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click/6737062.30486/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL3BvbGl0aWNzL2JpbGxpb25haXJlcy1saW5pbmctdXAtZm9yLXRydW1wLWFyZW50LXN1cmUtd2hlcmUtdG8tc2VuZC10aGVpci1tb25leS8yMDE2LzA1LzE1L2FhNzg5NmUyLTE5NTMtMTFlNi05ZTE2LTJlNWExMjNhYWM2Ml9zdG9yeS5odG1sP3dwbW09MSZ3cGlzcmM9bmxfdHJhaWw/5728a16715dd9659088b55adEcfcee9b2> Matea Gold.

"Clinton’s allies have built a deeply funded constellation of independent groups, and her main super PAC is readying a $136 million ad blitz that will kick off Wednesday. The fundraising imbalance is acute: The top three super PACs supporting Clinton had collected about $80 million through the end of March, compared with just $8 million by several potential Republican presidential players including American Crossroads, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

"The dynamic has triggered a rush to identify the right organization to harness Trump’s rich allies and run a sophisticated independent campaign. Two rival super PACs are in the mix, but both are newly formed and are viewed with skepticism by major donors and their advisers.

"The free-for-all environment alarms veteran party strategists who have recently signed on to try to help Trump win the White House.

"'If you have many elements trying to do their own thing, it can confuse the message of the campaign,' said Ed Rollins, who was Ronald Reagan’s campaign director in 1984 and is advising Great America PAC, one of the pro-Trump groups. 'We’re all marching forward without clear direction at this point.'"

Trump is still against super PACs — but in favor of GOP mega-donor Sheldon Adelson's decision to send $100 million his way, apparently. (Jeff Scheid/Las Vegas Review-Journal via AP, Pool)

On the super PAC front, the mogul's campaign is still trying to keep the first rule of Trump fundraising, which is: you do not talk about Trump fundraising. "The lack of a major super PAC vehicle is a source of concern among top Trump advisers, some of whom have reached out to experienced strategists in recent weeks to gauge their interest in launching a new entity, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations. Such outreach is potentially risky, since federal law prohibits a candidate’s agent from establishing a super PAC.

"When asked if he was aware of such talks, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski did not respond directly, writing in an email, 'Mr. Trump continues to disavow all Super PAC’s.'

"That unequivocal statement probably will further confuse major donors, who interpreted Trump’s softening rhetoric on super PACs in recent media interviews as a sign that he was open to their support. ('I know that people maybe like me and they form a super PAC, but I have nothing to do with it,' he told NBC last week.) On Saturday night, Trump retweeted a link to a New York Times report that Adelson is willing to spend as much as $100 million to boost his bid."

The messaging inconsistency probably doesn't mean the money won't get spent on Trump's behalf. It does mean the campaign may not have much influence over how: "Donors are trying to assess whether there is a political operation that they trust to use their funds effectively. Some of the biggest givers may set up their own operations, according to strategists familiar with the discussions."

ICYMI: PARTY HEALING UPDATE On our calendar, where we mark potentially newsworthy occasions as far in advance as the news gods will grant us foresight, we had long marked off this past weekend's Nevada Democratic convention as one to watch.

It was because if the action by Bernie Sanders's supporters were to match the rhetoric leading up to the event, it seemed to portend a (possible) visit from the Ghost of Conventions Future.

Almost anyone who's been to the Strip has probably had a weekend they'd rather forget. Democrats are no different; right now, they've got to be hoping that what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Dramatic scenes from Nevada Democratic convention

"Saturday's raucous state Democratic convention in Nevada encapsulated a lot of the themes of the party's 2016 election in a relatively short period: complex delegate math, inscrutable processes, allegations of deceit, fury — and a result that doesn't do much of anything to shift the race's eventual outcome," noted <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click/6737062.30486/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL25ld3MvdGhlLWZpeC93cC8yMDE2LzA1LzE1L2hlcmVzLXdoYXQtaGFwcGVuZWQtYXQtc2F0dXJkYXlzLWRyYW1hdGljLW5ldmFkYS1kZW1vY3JhdGljLWNvbnZlbnRpb24vP3dwbW09MSZ3cGlzcmM9bmxfdHJhaWw/5728a16715dd9659088b55adC026185d6> Philip Bump.

How bad? This bad: "Eventually, casino security and law enforcement officials entered to force the Democrats out of the space, even turning off the lights to get them to depart."

"Thanks to Clinton's victory in Nevada on Saturday, hard-fought on the carpeted floor of the Paris hotel and casino in Las Vegas, her lead over Sanders extends to 282, per delegate-counter Daniel Nichanian. Had Sanders's supporters been successful on Saturday, that margin would have been 278 — a number that still demands that the senator win two-thirds of the remaining pledged delegates to take the lead.

"What probably worries Clinton supporters at the moment, though, isn't their candidate losing the nomination. It's the prospect of a scene like that in Las Vegas playing out before a national television audience in July in Philadelphia."

In case you haven't marked your calendars yet: July 25-28.

And so the Democratic primary season rolls on...tomorrow's contests: Kentucky and Oregon.

Election eve campaign spin playing up expectations in an uphill state is a thing that hardly ever happens. But "hardly ever" isn't "never" — and it's a thing that's happening right now in Kentucky, where Clinton is making a last-minute push.

"Hillary Clinton is putting up an unexpected fight in Kentucky, a state that her campaign had thought until quite recently might be out of reach in her primary race against Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont," reports <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click/6737062.30486/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL3BvbGl0aWNzL2NsaW50b24tbGVhbnMtb24tZGVtb2NyYXRpYy1sb3lhbGlzdHMtdG8tZ2Fpbi11cHBlci1oYW5kLWluLWtlbnR1Y2t5LXByaW1hcnkvMjAxNi8wNS8xNi8yNTFlOTVhYS0xYjYwLTExZTYtOWM4MS00YmUxYzE0ZmI4Yzhfc3RvcnkuaHRtbD93cG1tPTEmd3Bpc3JjPW5sX3RyYWls/5728a16715dd9659088b55adC8f1ef231> Abby Phillip.

"In advance of Tuesday’s Democratic primary, Sanders also campaigned heavily in Kentucky over the weekend, and Clinton planned two additional days there, a sign that she thinks she has a chance to stop Sanders from racking up an unbroken string of victories between now and the end of primary voting in June."

(Oregon’s primary will also be held Tuesday, by mail-in ballot. Republicans held their primary in Kentucky in March. Republicans will vote in Oregon Tuesday, even though Donald Trump was declared the presumptive nominee after his victory in Indiana two weeks ago.)

Why the optimism? There's little by way of recent public polling, but the campaign points to a different landscape than the one that greeted Clinton in West Virginia: a closed primary in a state where Obamacare was implemented — and, under a state-specific name, popular — featuring an electorate that leans moderate, and slightly more diverse: "African Americans make up more than 20 percent of the population in vote-rich cities such as Louisville, in Jefferson County."

The wild card: turnout. One Kentucky strategist said Sanders still had the upper hand in the state — but that voters were starting to feel some primary season fatigue, which could keep some home. “Low-turnout elections will often hand you surprises,” he said.

And a Clinton win, while not impossible, would still be a surprise: Sanders has the edge on crowd size, drawing thousands to weekend rallies, as Clinton's crowds numbered in the hundreds. Her remark about how government policies would "eliminate" coal jobs won't play well with many in the state. There are also likely to be, as there were in West Virginia, some pro-Trump Democrats — and those voters are considered more likely to back Sanders than Clinton; this may be especially true in Eastern Kentucky, where Democratic congressional candidates are actually fighting over who hates President Obama and Hillary Clinton <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click/6737062.30486/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL25ld3MvdGhlLWZpeC93cC8yMDE2LzA1LzE2L3RoZXNlLXR3by1kZW1vY3JhdHMtYXJlLWZpZ2h0aW5nLW92ZXItd2hvLWhhdGVzLW9iYW1hLWFuZC1jbGludG9uLXRoZS1tb3N0Lz93cG1tPTEmd3Bpc3JjPW5sX3RyYWls/5728a16715dd9659088b55adCabd3f85e> the most.

Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly's feud

Tuesday isn't just Election Day — it's also the day the Donald Trump-Megyn Kelly interview airs on Fox at 8 p.m. ET, when Kentucky results should still be coming in (polls close at 6 p.m., which means 7 p.m. ET for the portion of the state in the Central Time Zone. Oregon's primary was by mail-in ballot.)
