I'm not sure that I believe that, I just think that he doesn't know what he is doing. He thinks he can bluster his way to the presidency, he has buried the most powerful issue he had going for him i.e. the loss of jobs. And his blatant racism and misogyny has doomed any chances he had of expanding beyond his base of angry white men. Add that to a lack of a serious organization, and I can't see how he can win...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-37886966094528500832016-06-21T06:35:18.608-04:002016-06-21T06:35:18.608-04:00hi David...well I suppose that's possible, but...hi David...well I suppose that's possible, but he just had the worst mass murder in modern American history land in his lap and he blew it. So even if there is another attack, I think he has inoculated Americans from the impact, and since Clinton is also blasting away, I don't see him gaining a big enough advantage to cancel out all his other mistakes....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65024232679046630922016-06-21T06:28:26.920-04:002016-06-21T06:28:26.920-04:00hi TS...we all knew that Trump was hoping for a te...hi TS...we all knew that Trump was hoping for a terrorist attack, but the way he reacted made that only too clear, and destroyed any chances that he might profit from it.

Thi...Much can happen between now and election day. This is no easy trip for Clinton. she isn't liked more, its that Trump is disliked more. I do expect her to win because many Republicans know Trump can do a lot of damage to their country and party. They will sit on their hands, at home and wait. Then they may try to get rid of the air heads and racist idiots and rebuild their party. <br /><br />Trump did not appear presidential at all. He was congratulating himself. 49 people died and Trump was still all about himself.<br /><br />As to fund raising the Republican H.Q. has given Trump a list of big donors who he is expected to call. He didn't. It would mean he had to listen to some one else and yes, thank you. Not in Trump's play book. Trump is not a successful fund raiser, unlike the other candidates, even if they have to do it $3 at a time. Trump thinks this is just an advertising campaign like selling ties. He doesn't understand its not. The selling of a candidate is difficult. When you sell a product you sell one thing. When you sell a candidate you sell not only the candidate, you need to sell all of their positions, policies, and families and friends. that is a huge sales program. its not one dimensional and that is what Trump is, one dimensional. <br /><br />Trump does have a message for some and the one dimensional line works, but most people want more. Even those in the Republican party. Trump can wail all he wants he is going to make America great again, but sooner or later people will ask how. They will also ask why the jobs aren't coming back now. Why do they have to wait until he is elected, given he has so much influence and knows all these important people..........<br /><br />of course anything can happen between now and election day and the fat lady hasn't sung yet. We will be in for some interesting day ahead. We have had our election and are in a good place. The Americans maybe in for the ride of their lives.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-72567161469805414432016-06-20T21:01:04.840-04:002016-06-20T21:01:04.840-04:00well David that is a plan. don't know if Trum...well David that is a plan. don't know if Trump is smart enough to plan it but ISIS might prefer him as President, because of the train wreck he is, and arrange it for him. of course it might not work either, because we saw how Harper tried to stir things up and people just didn't buy into it.<br /><br />In some European elections people have seen right wing nationalists rise in power and then at the last minute loose. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-36586041393728962322016-06-20T14:19:06.532-04:002016-06-20T14:19:06.532-04:00While at present the poll numbers favour Clinton, ...While at present the poll numbers favour Clinton, anything can happen in politics. The election isn't until November. Does Trump hope that there is a terrorist strike on American soil a few days before the election???

I can't help but get the sense that this tragedy has permanently marked him in the minds of many. <br /><br />I also read something a writer from the New Yorker said about him. He said that only now are the press doing their fact checking. So as you suggested, his free ads on MSM may have come to an end.<br /><br />TSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-71571985402701388982016-06-20T07:43:59.730-04:002016-06-20T07:43:59.730-04:00How can a Narcissist like Trump feel the pain of o...How can a Narcissist like Trump feel the pain of others? He can't and he won't.<br /><br />The truth is that Trump's amateurish and improvised campaign can only take him so far. You need a good solid organization to get out voters and keep things going. This is looking more and more like Trump's campaign will end the same ugly colossal failure as Trump's airline, Trump's Taj Mahal Trump U and Trump steaks.<br /><br />It looks like the GOP is already running from Trump faster than you can say Chapter 11. Gonna be an ugly summer and fall for Trump.<br /><br />There is a saying 'Victory has many fathers and defeat is an orphan.' Well, good luck trying to avoid getting pinned for this one, GOP.Dannoreply@blogger.com
