I could tell Trump, and I'm not even a campaign guy:
  • Dude had $1.9m at the end of May
  • Trump's staff is less than 30
Hmm

Whereas, Hillary's campaign staff is over 750. It just puts things into perspective of who is in it to win it, and who isn't .

I'm starting to wonder if Trump is in over his head? The RNC is only three weeks away.

I think it is very clear now that the big Republican donors are not going to waste their money on Trump, and he's not willing to go broke self-financing. He is so unpredictable, if he won he could do stuff they really didn't like. This is because he isn't running out of some dedication to an ideology. He's just running for self-aggrandizement, and that could lead him to do anything.

Trump has been in over his head since the very beginning. He is no more politically savvy than his army of idiots. He offered them nothing more than a carrot on a stick with no regard for demographics, the Constitution, or the economic necessities of a presidential run. He even convinced them that he was too rich to even need donations when his actual wealth is ephemeral at best and at worst just another of many lies.
The entire, bloated and lackluster, field of Republican candidates sought the lowest common denominator of voters from the start. A race to the bottom which has, not surprisingly, landed them at the very bottom.

When have Trump supporters (...formerly known as T-Baggers) ever not been idiots?

That was a stupid move by Bill Clinton. As Monica Lewinsky is now saying to Loretta Lynch: At least you didn't get a dress ruined when Bill Clinton was around you.

Bill's hubris and arrogance is and always has been beyond the pale. And the collateral damage is always a shyteshow.

A Hillary Clinton Administration will be one GOP attack after another, one investigation after another. Don't these GOP a-holes get tired of their own bullshyte? I know I do... Hmm
