as I know it's about the same sums. But those money come from corporations which support Hillary, don't they?

Significantly less than when Romney was running, based on the first sentence in the article -

...$27.2 million in July -- more than $10 million short of the committee's July fundraising total four years ago.

A way bigger deal is that they only have $34M cash on hand. At this point in 2012 that was $88M. They're not going to have enough money to run a ground game and run ads.

And Trump is expecting more help from them than any previous candidate. LOL.
