I have a feeling Trump's funding raising just got a serious shot in the arm.
I suspect you may be right.
I think American conservatives may have woken up...and have decided that their loyalty to party (and hatred of liberalism) should trump (!) loyalty to country.
I think he is going to raise lots more money in coming months...but I also think it is too late.
The guy is a loser...and the big money people (the people the party has always counted on) are sitting on their wallets.
There will be soul searching, a review of potentially beneficial contacts, and the usual stuff with the big money people. I believe that Trump is correct that he won't need as much money as Hillary. She's going to need an awful lot of paint to cover up all the spots independents can now see. They're pretty hard to miss.
Independents are the key to the election.
As I see it...they will break for Hillary Clinton...all but the male, European heritage, over 50 group. They feel too threatened to break away from the Republicans...even if many are disgusted with Trump as their candidate.

I think this is excellent analysis from both of you!Independents are the key to the election.

Thank You, Doomsayer.
Everyone kept saying the same crap over and over during the primaries. Well...guess what?

I believe:
- Trump does indeed need less money than her
- Most Indies will break HRC, except for Trump's core demo's Frank described above
And I'll add:
It's not just about popular vote, but about electoral votes. Trump is tied with her in 2 of the 3 key battleground states (OH & PENN). If he can shore-up the 3rd (FL), he's good to go, but that might not be the easiest task.
As the late Tim Russert exclaimed in 2000: "It comes down to FL"
The American Presidency will go as FL goes - mark my words! :thumbs:

Yep - it's a race to 270, *not* who's the most popular! :dohI thing it was maybe a month or a little more ago, trump was showing that he would win the electoral collage, with hillary winning the popular vote. Since then he has lost regained and lost again in those battlegrounds states. Given the current political climate, it is very possible trump could win the electoral collage but lose the popular vote, since he does better in battleground states than as a nationwide number.

But I'll stick with my above assessment of FL being the decisive state:
1) Trump cannot win w/o FL.
2) If Trump wins FL, it's pretty much assured he took OH & Penn.
3) Therefore, as FL goes so goes the Presidency.
I will stand by this! :thumbs:
