Or the unwillingness to do it the old way. Many people that should run do not run becuase they do not want to participate in this kind of dog and pony show.

I have no idea what Trump is thinking but I'm thinking it's good for someone to NOT do what has always been expected of a politician.

Trump isn't really a politician though so maybe he's just not had the proper indoctrination?

Am I wrong? Can it be he is intentionally sabotaging the Republicans ????
His ego is to big. I don't think that he thought he would get this far.

Ever stop to think he just might be the one guy, so well qualified to do the job, that he doesn't have to do it the "conventional way"? The way everyone else has to do it, the way everyone else expects him to do it?

Just a thought. Because it seems to be working out that way, doesn't it.......

So, let me get this straight, the TDS fools are whining that Trump isnt bought out by wealthy donors? And what would these dopey liberals say if Trump DID meet with the donors? that he is a lying corporate greedy pig? begging for cash? Yeah..right

And what "way" is that?

No matter how you do it, it takes some resources, namely financial, to run a campaign, particularly for the on-the-ground, get out the vote stuff. His campaign is already short on dough and a fair number of big donors are wary of Trump.

And yet he is relatively for the sake of argument tied with Hillary in the polls despite being far outspent.

Bush far outspent him in the primaries.

The old way is not the only way.

Dream on.

See the red line in this link? See how it has remained below the blue line?

The red line is Trump and the blue line is Hillary.

He is simply not taking any of this seriously. He will not allow himself to be consumed by the job 24/7 as is required by the position as "leader of the free world" should he be elected.
