We're also going to include the DNC video in here so I don't think we need to do the video request on the Ingraham quote. Need to get this out.

See below. Inserted the quote from the bullet below. We don't have a link but I assume we might have video that we could clip and put up on youtube?

If this works we can video request.

Donald Trump Said Marco Rubio, And "Everybody Except For Me" Was Controlled By Their Donors, And That He Was The Only Candidate Who Was Self-Funding. TRUMP: "Well in my case, [donors] have no control over me. And in [Marco Rubio's] case, he needs money desperately to run and to put ads up and everything else. I spend my own money and have my own little group of people... I don't need anybody's money. They need money to do all those things. Once the people start giving them money, then they control that person. ... Everybody except for me is just-I'm the only one that's self-funding." [Laura Ingraham Show, 1/7/16]

SL: VIDEO: Trump Now the "Puppet" of GOP SuperPACs and Right-Wing Billionaires

"Despite numerous promises he would fund his own campaign, Trump is now clearly the 'puppet' of Republican SuperPACs and right-wing billionaires." - DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach

Despite arguing he is "really rich<http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/16/im-really-rich-trump-declares-b-net-worth.html>" and wouldn't take campaign funds from donors because he "once the people start giving them money, then they control that person." Trump has since changed his tune.

This week Trump said would accept contributions for his general election campaign. And, today, GOP mega-donor Sheldon Adelson -- who spent<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/03/25/sheldon-adelson-spent-93-million-on-the-2012-election-heres-how/> $93 million on SuperPACs during the 2012 election -- indicated he would support Trump's campaign. Of course Trump said<http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/256737-trump-rubio-a-perfect-little-puppet> just six months ago that Adelson was "looking to give big dollars to Rubio because he feels he can mold him into his perfect little puppet."
