Trump has a little over a million in his war chest. Thats roughly 1 /42 of what Hilary has. Trump staff is 1/20 the size of Hillary s. He has borrowed more money against his campaign funds than he has spent on ads. I knew,Trump didn't have nearly what he claimed but I thought he at least had maybe 1 billion he could access. Now I'm starting to think it could be much lower. He wpuld need to sell Trump Tower in NYC to be able to self fund a campaign which he never does on a 50 50 coin flip ..... I doubt he would do it if he knew he'd win as that's one of the only properties he has that he actually owns all the other buildings wit his name he owns a minority share he leases the name. But fock I have decided to actually pull for a man in hate just cause his opponent I hate more. Now the more I want to get behind trump the more it looks like he is going to run a bargin basement bin. Campaign and rely on social media and making crazy comments and the debates. With Hillary put spending trump what will then be about 50 to 1 hilary will easily win by 10 or more points and worse might win by a wide enough margin to claim a mandate.
If trump doesnt start to spend money and fight I think it really back fires on him as most will feel duped and feel like they were strung along during the bigest publicity stunt of all time.
He's never putting the tower up but he needs to dip into the gop coffers he might not equal Clinton but he at least gets a fighting chance.

Win or lose it is the craziest campaign in recent presidential politics history. I have no idea where his mind is or what he is doing. It is a very entertaining campaign complete with nude photos of Trumps wife and his refusal to endorse fellow Republicans including the sitting Speaker of the House. Of course the ones he is not endorsing have not endorsed him so I can see his point.
I am hoping millions of people vote for Trump because of his "10" wife. Sure beats having to look at Hillary and whatever Bill drags in the White House for the next 4 to 8 years.

I wouldn't even guess who will win, but Trump better do something or the worse choice will win. Regardless, I fear the flood waters are out and all the king's horses and all the king's men can never put them back.

Riley I agree the man has no filter when he talks and while it helped him get free pub in the Primaries it hurts him badly in the general. My point is even with all that - the man would have a real chance if he went balls out ...... sold Trump tower. He does that and acts like he gives a fock about being president I think he takes Ohio, Col, and Florida -- that with the other red states gets the POTUS. And I hate Trump but knowing what I know about Hillary it's out right even scarier to have her as POTUS. But Trump is acting like he pulled out his bucket list and saw ... Run for POTUS as major party canidate and went CHECK - whats next. If Trump had anywhere near the amount of money he claims to have why is this even an issue? And yes maybe Ads wouldn't save him but right now he is bending over ...... taking the corn ........................ and asking for seconds.

The flood waters have been out for a year but the man just didn't sink - I might hate Trump usually he is at his best in these moments - but he's acting like he doesn't care. Trump needs to either sell TT or start mending fences and take in GOP PAC money -------- or the worst thing will happen. NOT a Hillary win - a Hilary win with a MANDATE

So much for the Clinton talking points and the "never Trump" propoganda. Now the facts. This from a fEC Fund Raising report for July: "All told, Mr. Trump and his party brought in $82 million last month, only slightly behind Mrs. Clinton, and ended with an enormous pool of $74 million in cash on hand, suggesting he might now have the resources to compete with Mrs. Clinton in the closing stretch of the campaign." www.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/us/politics/trump-fundraising.html?_r=0The NYT is not interested in inflating Trump's numbers.

AH--those nasty FACTS get in the way all the time.
when BOTH partys' old timers, all media, and talking heads FEAR a potential obstacle---the obstacle is REAL!!!
The uni-party(dems/repubs/rinos/media) have so much to LOSE---all gloves are off and the lies, deceit, deflection and cover takes over. Sorta like the teflonturd mafia around UK/Lexington/national press--when FACTS about the lazy liar loser were presented.
Only with TRUMP--the scale of attack is millions of times greater---far more power, $$$$, people involved.

No way Trump even thinks about selling Trump Tower to be president. There is no reason to believe selling Trump Tower would gain him a single vote. Plus there is no way his family would allow it. Trump Tower is the biggest jewel in his crown. It is his primary residence and the center of his business empire. If he thought he had to sell Trump Tower to have a chance to be president in my opinion he would quit the race today and go play a round of golf.
Trump got into this as a publicity stunt and when his campaign caught fire and took off like a rocket ship he held on and is enjoying the ride. He is not going to sacrifice his personal fortune. (whatever it may be) To get his campaign on track he must take donations and he is doing that now. I am on his mailing list and I get requests every day from his campaign for funds. He is raising money and now he needs to use it. He can start by putting on TV ads in Florida where Hillary is killing him. He should win Florida but will not unless he gets serious. He must show he really wants to be president or millions will stay home.

Got to agree it is scary where the country is going. And no matter who wins it will be a very scary 4 years.

Sorry, but the past 25 years have set the stage for this, and this election therefore is not just about the next 4 years. If the liberal/progressives retain control, they will affect the fabric of the nation for at least the next 1 to 2 generations simply because of the composition of the supreme court, and their policy stances toward national security and border security, particularly as these relate to Islamic terrorism is very dangerous as indicated by the Iran deals that we see playing out.
We know what we get with Crooked Hillary, and it will be a disaster. I agree that we cannot be certain what we will ultimately get with Donald Trump, but at the very least I believe he will do positive things on border security, supreme court appointments, and Islamic terrorism.
For these reasons, Trump will be the only viable choice for the survival of this country as a world leader.
None of the above addresses the central political issue that has propelled the Trump candidacy, the corruption and self serving character of the political ruling class. This is much more on point to the Crooked Hillary tag line than anything else. This is the unspoken undercurrent that is pulling Trump to the White House despite his own personal flaws and short comings.
Don't ever fool yourself that this election is only about the next 4 years, because that is simply a rationalization to justify ignoring the deep seated, substantive problems that this country faces at this point in history.

Well said Professor. 2008 was one of the turning points in American history not because America elected a black president but because of the agenda this man brought. Hillary would be another turning point and she is the Queen of the corrupt, crooked political ruling class. If she is elected America will not recover in my lifetime and probably not in the lifetime of my grand-children. We can kiss away forever the principles that made America the greatest nation in history. The Spirit of Karl Marx is cheering America on as Hillary pulls away in the polls.
TRUMP wake up and get in the game man, it is important.

I despise both candidates, but 8 years ago, the rallying cry was "Obama is inexperienced" and now those same folks are sucking off a reality TV star.

I do not like trump his vision of how to bring us back to a constitutional republic is at best muddled. He has the ability to mobilize voter interest but he seems to lack the ability to outline a clear path for them. That being said Clinton has a very clear picture and plan and she's getting it across to the majority minority. Frankly trump must win. If nothing else to minimize harm for the next generation or two. Btw great post professor.
Lack of experience is just bs what we need is a Ronald Reagan or a conservative analog to jfk that can get his vision to the people and inspire them to achieve . A good manager hire competent people to flush out the details he reviews alters as necessary and presents his course
Trump has not shown that ability yet. To win he must
