Pathetic that the GOP could not get themselves a real leader. Even more pathetic if his kids judgment actually is better than his.

"...After Trump's drop in the polls, his children were able to make the case that Lewandowski was no longer fulfilling a need. Ivanka and his other children, Donald Jr. and Eric, attended the meeting Monday morning when Lewandowski was let go..."

It is scary that the kids have so much influence over Trump. (Sounds like too many elder people I know who no longer trust themselves.) We're suppose to trust their judgement over experts in military when it comes to ISIS and experts in other fields where Trump refuses to get up to speed? Remember Trump saying he knows more about ISIS than the generals! Who believes that tripe?

Indeed. Trump has 30 whole troops enlisted -- yes you heard that right 30 total national wide -- so he's definitely ready to do battle. Clinton won't know what hit her.

That's clear evidence that Mr. T rump is waiting to outsource the entire campaign and fund raising to the RNC after the convention.

They are the ones that stand to lose if Trump keeps this up though. Remember they run his company with him. This election will be remembered for a long time to come and they have to handle the brand fallout over it.

Problem is he really can't. They are mostly focused on Congressional races and other local races. They don't have the ability to prop up the Presidential candidate as well.

What do you mean? The Trump Organization has secured a loyal following of 45% (Trump supporters' share) of 26% (GOP). While they are not demographically viable for luxury goods and services, they are very loyal to the brand. They buy hideous hats and clothing made in China, and will gleefully attend Trump University 2.0. You cannot buy that kind of blind following.

This is the Trump 'ground game' - everyone wears a Trump hat. A skeleton staff, no analytics, airtime... but by God, no one will will be lacking for headgear swag!

That's your genius businessman/manager extraordinaire right there.

Sir, you are totally ignoring the bumper sticker and law sign divisions of the Trump ground game.

Come on, give Trump a break here ! All he was doing by firing him was practicing up for his return to reality TV ! He knows he will be back doing that after November 2nd !

I disagree. I do not believe in presidential "landslides" anymore. The vast majority of Republicans will vote for any candidate that had (R) after his or her name even if it was a moderate with a tinge of liberalism like Jon Huntsman ... and ditto for the Democrats.

There are large powerful voting blocs that swing one way or another.

Trump will not get the African-American, Asian-American, Jewish, Hispanic, Labor Union, LGBT, Environmentalist, etc. vote just as the Democratic candidate will never get the Pro-Gun, Anti-Choice, Evangelical Christian, "Tea Party," etc. vote.
