But they had to be horrified knowing that he press is eager to keep interest in the election high by boosting the prospects of a man who makes mockery of their questions, the truth and the most basic requirements to be president . a dozen appearances on behalf of Hillary Clinton . Bernie Sanders will begin stumping for Clinton and Senate Democrats on Labor Day in New Hampshire. You can expect to see Vice President Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Michelle Obama on the campaign trail as aspiring First Dude Bill Clinton will likely outdo his 2012 marathon that saw dozens of appearances on behalf of President Obama. Meanwhile the Clinton campaign will exploit its significant cash and field advantage, which already seems to be delivering with polls that show Democrats performing nearly as well with likely voters as they do with registered voters , a rare phenomenon in modern polling.Politico reported last weekas the latest YouGov/CBS News poll tells us , that Clinton is leading in both Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Romney won North Carolina and Trump is this far outperforming the GOP nominee only in Iowa.Affirmations replacing confirmation. MAGA !" He's right that people will be surprised if he has any decent ground game. The problem is Clinton probably will have the best ground game in American history, and certainly will if you compare her to any campaign that didn't have Barack Obama at the top of the ticket. Trump's will almost undoubtedly be worse than Mitt Romney's operation but Donald needs to outperform Mitt with either minority voters or white voters. He's doing worse with both.That's because Trump's gains with working class white voters are being drowned out by his losses with college-educated white voters, especially women. No wonder you don't see him tweeting or ranting about many polls that show him winning anymore. "Hardening" and "softening." Still working on securing his base. Trump obviously feels more comfortable appealing to the Republicans who gave him the Republican nomination and can't help appealing to them at the cost of a strategy that could win over the more educated Republicans he needs. His immigration speech promised millions of deportations at worst and the self-deportation scheme that cost Mitt the Latino vote on psychedelic steroids at best. But the tone was right out of the Alt-Right/white nationalist playbook, speaking to voters who fear the future - voters who already voting Trump. Even if this is his path to victory, it's a recipe for destroying the Republican Party . Blame game has begun. Without polls to beat his chest about, Trump has begun casting blame for his lost on the chimera of voter fraud, an especially disgusting tact that that the North Carolina GOP's attempt to disenfranchise black voters by focusing on this fraud of a anti-fraud effort has been exposed. This attempt to delegitimize any Clinton victory is dangerous and probably unprecedented - and it's speaks to a narcissist preparing himself for the shaming of a lifetime. But if Trump goes down, it will likely by difficult for him to focus his anger on just a fantasy of another conspiracy. Instead you'll likely see Team Trump turn fire on the Republican National Committee and an RNC no longer beholden on the candidate for fundraising return fire. Trump's de factor campaign manager and son-in-law Jared Kushner has already suggested that " the national committee might not be giving Mr. Trump all the support he was due ." And with prominent Republicans like Senators Jeff Flake and Ben Sasse not supporting the nominee, Trump will likely sick his supporters on a party that never focused all of its power and resources on electing him. Focusing on an exit strategy. It's difficult to believe that Trump would turn his millions of backers on the GOP and the conservative complex that has seen so many reject his candidacy, unless you believe he's following the exact business model conservatives have indulged in for years to move the party in its direction: painting the establishment as the source of all evil. Speculation about Trump using his candidacy to launch his own media empire suggests a profit motive for fracturing the audience of GOP and its main press outlet - Fox News. And Trump's unwillingness to engage in any minority outreach that doesn't stink of a blatant swindle to win over anxious white voters suggests that he's more interested in keeping his base loyal than winning an election. This is probably because he realizes that by actually softening his image to win over new voters at this point would be far too little, way too late. At this point, his best hope is to stick to "his brand" and hope for the press that financed his primary campaign to find some way to put him in the White House.
