Thank you
Then I think the Hillary campaign should be very, very worried.
He now has all the finances he needs in place.
He doesn't need a "ground game" as such because of the way he's used social media and the canny way in which he has managed the media to get his message across at no cost to him whatsoever.
IMO the debates are going to be a big win for Trump. Not that he will do well by any objective measure but by turning up and not soiling himself he will comfortable exceed expectations and his Gish-gallop approach to speaking will make it nigh-on impossible for Hillary to determine what he proposes, much less argue against it.
He will come across as spontaneous and "fresh", she will be coached, unappealing and hectoring. It doesn't matter that what he says are complete lies - much of the US electorate simply does not care and those that do will not be voting for Trump - or that none of it makes sense, in the verbal Rorschach test that is a Trump answer, people will find something they like.
The ordinary ways to damage him don't seem to work. If any other candidate in living memory had:
- Said what he said about Muslims
- Said what he said about Mexicans
- insulted a gold star family and then double, treble and quadrupled down
- Made those comments about the "Mexican" judge
- Been pwned by the Mexican President
- Been successfully sued hundreds of times
- Faced legal action over their business
- Demonstrated this level of ignorance over the Constitution
- Flip-flopped so regularly and completely
Then they would have been dead in the water but enough of the US electorate want Trump (because they love him), want anything new (and damn the consequences) or simply want the GOP candidate to win that here is is gaining ground hand over fist on a Democratic Party candidate who seems unable to find a strategy to combat him.
Dark days indeed
