Donald Trump’s Campaign Is an Absolute Garbage Fire

[mudwhistle]

Interestingly enough, this quote has similarities to Clinton:

A little look behind the scenes at the Trump campaign reveals that the maniac who would obviously be completely incompetent to handle the Presidency is also (fortunately) much too incompetent to manage his own campaign for President with any intelligence or skill.

The comparison is not favoring dear Hillary. She is so incompetent, she cannot follow the first demands of the Office of Secretary of State. She had a two hour meeting explaining the use of the government email for work emails, the fact that it was her responsibility to mark TOP SECRET documents properly and all emails from her office were not hers, but the belonged to the government, archives department. She even signed a document explaining those facts. But, email is too hard for her to understand? And she wants to be the ultimate diplomat representing our country as president?

After her stint as SoS, she was met with yet another crisis that turned into scandal. That is precisely her MO has been for the last 20 years! And that was before the Cash fo Clintons, Clinton Foundation where she accepted lucrative donations from foreign governments and "forgot? to record them as required by the president.

Then there was Benghazi when it was up to her to supply the needed protection for our servicemen and ambassador. Her reply, "What difference does it make?"

And now she thinks she is going to win votes by arranging a CO-Presidency with the man who can't keep his pants zipped up and lies as often as she does. Swell, I seem to remember an impeachment... that's right, put him in the Oval Office again!

And you worry about Trump?

Blackhawk Down?

Waco?

Ruby Ridge?

Elian Gonzalez?

Travelgate?

Whitewater?

The list goes on and on.....

Only in your diseased little rightwingnut excuse for a mind, Jackoff.

Nobody cares about your moronic myths and ideological fanaticism or your lame attempt to deflect attention from the actual topic of the thread....Trump's screwed up amateur campaign.....which you ran from.

It is interesting that this "screwed up amatuer campaign" is attracting so much momentum and record numbered of people are turned on to him...

It is finally time for the voters to be aware of the scam produced by both sides of the aisle and they now desire someone who will think of THEM and their Country before the candidates' probability of winning the next election.

I cannot tell you if Trump's campaign is a winner as opposed to a seasoned political candidate's campaign that has won election after election from low information voters.

I see this election as FINALLY the electorate is waking up and looking for a new breed of candidate...One that really cares about them. I can't tell you that Trump is the answer but I am proud of his supporters to finally look at the candidates as looking at office to a way of getting rich instead of meeting the needs of the American citizens.

Gullibility is what what politicians have counted on from the voters for way too long. The disenchanted Democrats are even turning to socialism to bypass Hillary!
Have you listened to the videos of Hillary Lies? And you want to claim the other party is gullible? LOL!

Ted Cruz was the very model of evil incarnate and incredibly creepy...and (THANK GOD) voters gagged at the sight of him.

Indiana kid yells at Ted Cruz: ‘You suck!’

"The incompetent Trump", as it said in the OP, "...won the Republican primary by relying on a massive imbalance of media coverage...", not through any great skill of his own.

Hillary is up 46-35 in the latest Reuters poll.

Clinton opens up double-digit lead over Trump nationwide: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Let's build on that lead. It's not enough to simply beat Trump and his lackeys. They need to be humiliated, so as to teach them there's a price to pay for acting so badly.

I just read that...the poll went through mid day today...

I suspect if the poll went a couple more days for everyone to hear her speech and his simpleton, expected, incoherent, bombastic reaction to it, the spread would be even LARGER....he played right in to her hands, showing he was the empty suit, his own words and response to her using his own words, proved it.

 

[Blackrook]

Lets face it, Hillary is a horrible candidate, and if she wins it will be only because people hate and fear Trump more than they hate and fear her.

But she is greatly hated and feared, and would probably be impeached within her first year of office. So it's important she pick a good VP, because he or she is the person who will take over after Hillary is impeached.

Sorry, Brown People, Donald Trump Doesn't Believe You're Real Americans

"He's a reality-television performer who tapped into a deep vein of cultural resentment that appeals to a decided minority of the electorate."

Exactly.

Trump “appeals to a decided minority of the electorate.”

The Good News Is That Donald Trump’s Campaign Is an Absolute Strategic and Managerial Garbage Fire

"Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States would pose an unprecedented threat to the health of American democracy and possibly world stability. There is, however, an upside: Trump’s campaign is an absolute garbage fire. By all accounts it is the most organizationally and strategically inept campaign for a successful major-party nominee in recorded history. ...the basic story that emerges is that Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Fortunately, many of the same qualities that would make Trump epically dangerous in the presidency — his impulsive ignorance, blustering arrogance, and contempt for data — also make him unlikely to obtain it."

It's more like which disasters and drama soap opera do you want to see in the media every day: Clinton or Trump.

Insanely false equivalency from another clueless nutbagger or kook.

With Clinton we'll only see the right raising heck against her, while the left covers up and kowtows. With Trump we might see both sides going at it. Which do you prefer? A constant battle in public or a battle half covered and half exposed in public? Take your pick. Then take cover...

Meaningless demented drivel from some deranged rightwingnut fantasyland.

You obviously have no idea whatsoever what is going on. Which could indicate either a lot of brainwashing in the rightwingnut media spinner, or severe retardation....or more likely both! The first step towards seeing what is actually happening in the real world for you rightwingnut yo-yos is alway to pull your head out of your ass. Try that.

Dear RollingThunder
Neither party is following the Constitution.
Otherwise neither the ACA, the marriage laws or now the transgender discrimination policies
would be decided through federal govt.
So anything goes.

Whatever politics can pass, and get paid for by corporate interests
and slip past criticisms in the media, politicians can justify anything.

So now we have Trump who can continue to buy out business, corporate and political interests.
And we have Clinton who can pull her strings.

All we can do is watch what gets publicized in the media.
That's what I'm talking about.

RollingThunder I even offered to work with teams to write the
actual legislative or executive order corrections needed to clean up some of these conflicts.
People won't respond. Very few feel we can do this ourselves, write up proposed corrections
and actually get anywhere with state officials, governors or federal govt.

So THAT's what I mean RollingThunder
everyone is resigned to sit back and watch the soap opera.
complaining about problems, but not doing anything to correct them,
well knowing these politicians aren't in the business of doing that either.

"Neither party is following the Constitution.
Otherwise neither the ACA, the marriage laws or now the transgender discrimination policies
would be decided through federal govt.
So anything goes."

This is as ignorant as it is wrong and ridiculous.

Interestingly enough, this fails as a red herring fallacy, a failed attempt to deflect.

The thread is about Trump, not Clinton.

In other words, you cannot disagree with anything I mentioned.

In other words, your attempt to deflect failed.

But your attempt to deflect is understandable.

The Good News Is That Donald Trump’s Campaign Is an Absolute Strategic and Managerial Garbage Fire
New York Magazine
DAILY INTELLIGENCER - THE NATIONAL INTEREST
May 27, 2016
By Jonathan Chait
Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States would pose an unprecedented threat to the health of American democracy and possibly world stability. There is, however, an upside: Trump’s campaign is an absolute garbage fire. By all accounts it is the most organizationally and strategically inept campaign for a successful major-party nominee in recorded history. Ashley Parker and Maggie Haberman round up many of the details, but the basic story that emerges from their reports and others is that Trump has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.

“Trump is reliant on information he garners himself, and can be swayed by the last person he talked to,” Parker and Haberman somewhat delicately put it. His campaign staff is far too small, and yet constantly at war with itself, already having gone through multiple shakeups and coups. In keeping with his general disdain for data, Trump has eschewed any use of analytics to target voters or competitive areas. Indeed, he has fixated bizarrely on plans to compete in New York and California, two states where any Republican faces hopeless odds against an entrenched Democratic electorate. He is currently in North Dakota for reasons nobody fully understands. He attacks fellow Republicans for no apparent reason. The super-pac donors who are supposed to be raising money on his behalf are disorganized and confused about basic questions like which super-pac they’re supposed to donate to.

To the extent that running a competent campaign matters, it will hurt Trump very badly. Yes, he won the Republican primary by relying on a massive imbalance of media coverage and exploiting a divided, extremely large field that failed to coalesce against him. Yes, he tapped into deep strains of anger in the conservative base that fellow Republicans ignored. But he’s not a political savant, and he hasn’t abolished the rules of politics. He's a reality-television performer who tapped into a deep vein of cultural resentment that appeals to a decided minority of the electorate. Fortunately, many of the same qualities that would make Trump epically dangerous in the presidency — his impulsive ignorance, blustering arrogance, and contempt for data — also make him unlikely to obtain it.

"Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States would pose an unprecedented threat to the health of American democracy and possibly world stability. "

Truer words were never said.

says the woman that supports a neo-con with a history of foreign policy fuck-ups

And yet another red herring fallacy from the right.

Attacking Clinton is not to ‘defend’ Trump.

Address the thread premise, use facts and objective documented evidence to demonstrate where and how the premise is wrong.

Ted Cruz was the very model of competence and yet he too was defeated by the incompetent Trump.

Cruz was even more dangerous than Trump; both are hateful bigots, but Trump’s incompetence manifests as a consequence of his ignorance; Cruz had outright contempt for the Constitution, its case law, and the rule of law – a Cruz ‘presidency’ would have placed in jeopardy the rights and protected liberties of millions of Americans.

The Trump campaign is broke. And despite his claims, Trump is not self-funding it in any way.

Trump camp concedes it's low on money
---
Donald Trump's campaign has alerted Senate Republicans that he won't have much money to spend fending off attacks from Hillary Clinton over the next couple months.

The notice came when Paul Manafort, Trump's senior advisor, met with a group of Senate Republican chiefs of staff for lunch last week, sources familiar with the meeting told the Washington Examiner. The admission suggests that Trump will be far more dependent on the GOP brass for money than he has led voters to believe, but it's consistent with his reliance on the Republican National Committee to provide a ground game in battleground states.
---

Trump himself, he'll get more free media coverage by acting insane in public. Such coverage pumps up the loony Republican base, so it worked in the primary. However, it repels the majority of people, so it's a big fail in the general.

The big donors? They're staying away from Trump. They can smell a loser. They'll spend their money on other races.

The problem for the GOP is the downballot races. State parties normally count on the presidential candidate to fund a GetOutTheVote (GOTV) organization. Trump isn't doing that. He's telling the GOP they'll have to do it for him. In contrast, Clinton has spent the last year building up a massive GOTV network. She's an asset to the state parties, while Trump is a liability.

Dear mamooth FINALLY someone (you) said something that makes sense
and is true about both Clinton and Trump.

If Democrats "only care about the Party getting elected" they will stump for Clinton.
A lot of the Green, real progressive left liberals (ie the Pacifica radio Amy Goodman types)
will keep going for a losing candidate to stick to principles, so they will continue to be loyal Sanders
supporters. but the MONEY in the Democratic Party will all go for Clinton as their breadwinner figurehead.

You are correct on that!

Trump, well, what is wrong with telling Conservatives to earn their own bread and stripes?
Isn't that the Conservative concept -- NOT to depend on a figure head running for office
and tagalong depending on Govt to lead and manage for you? Like, DUH!

No wonder the Libertarians and GOP are such a mess if they've become like "whiny victim liberals"
Expecting someone to run for office and save you, create jobs for you instead of "DIY"
which I thought was the whole point of LIMITED GOVT and MAXIMUM FREEDOM.

Time to put out a call for all independents to GET OFF YOUR (BOTOX) and GET TO WORK!
CREATE JOBS NOT ENEMIES
BUILD ROADS NOT WALLS
FILL SCHOOLS NOT JAILS

If everyone's waiting on a leader to lead, well, no wonder America's such a mess.
The Founding Fathers had to build it themselves. The Freed Slaves built
their own churches and businesses without help from govt because they weren't considered citizens.
The Native Americans have their own judicial system of court tribunals.

What do we have today? Greens left tagging along behind whoever the Democrats nominate.
Libertarians refusing to vote or do anything to change the current mess, so the GOP is divided and run amok.
The Christian Party divided from the Constitutionalist Party, split over independence or uniting support.
And the media making every dime they can off the Clinton Trump reality soap series "he said she said."
