In all my years of voting, I've never seen a candidate who seemed to be under the impression that they could win with 35-40% of the vote and make no real effort to go after any of the remaining segment of voters. And his loyal supporters seem to be under the same impression. The hell with everybody else, they will somehow magically make those numbers work to win without the help of anyone else.
I guess it is the dynamic of his feeding off of the energy of his hard core supporters and sending that energy back to them. Kind of like the circle of life in their corner of the world.
Not a Trump supporter, but I agree it is not quite over. Trump started TV ads in my area. Two different negative ads about Clinton's health and her "deporables" comment. Another ad pushing Trump's tax plan and paid maternity leave.
Not sure how effective they might be, but people shouldn't be too confident.
It's too soon to know how bad this beating is going to be but it will be bad. The electoral outcome seems pretty apparent. Hillary is up by 10 points and climbing. It looks like the GOP is destroying itself as a national party... which I think is bad news for the country. Maybe after the election, when the dust settles, the GOP can call a convention of sorts and hash out what it wants to be considering the new landscape of the country. With demographic changes and wealth inequality and a likely more liberal court majority the old formula just won't work. It can't survive as it is. Morphing into multiple parties that can form a coalition on some issues and not on others might be one plan. The Libertarians might cooperate on some issues. People are too hot and emotional now to have a rational discussion but it needs to happen.
The establishment is too pig headed to consider this.
Although it certainly sounds good in theory.
One other possibility is that the economy collapses under Queen Hillary's watch, and they are unable to blame George W Bush or the Republicans for anything. And she gets voted out in 2020.
Mike Pence had two fundraisers cancelled --in New Jersey (Christie's corner) and Nebraska because of low interest on GOP donors...
No one wanted to show up...even for Pence...who is certainly more stable/conventional Republican than Trump
Don't bother going to vote democrats it's over. Remember you heard it here first.
Yep, did we ever doubt the fix was in, the media knows exactly how to play people. I remember after the 2012 election there were comments that Hillary would be our next president.
