Trump tries to stop the bleeding

The campaign is struggling to reverse its downward spiral as Republicans' frustration with their nominee nears a breaking point.

Donald Trump is facing a whirlwind of criticism from Republican leaders — including some of his closest allies — as he fends off reports of a staff shake up, another intervention and even rumblings that he could be urged to step aside as the party's nominee.

On Wednesday, Paul Manafort, Trump's top strategist, flatly denied a report that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani are planning an intervention after a stunning streak of unforced errors — his combative response to a Gold Star family that criticized him at last week’s Democratic National Convention, his apparent lack of knowledge related to the Ukraine and Russia and his purposeful snubbing of GOP stalwarts John McCain and Paul Ryan.

And Mike Pence, Trump's running mate, did a bit to mend fences Tuesday, saying he endorsed Ryan and that Trump had encouraged him to do so. "These two men are gonna do great things to restore this country at home and abroad,” Pence said on Fox News.

Has Trump opened campaign offices, phone banks, gathered volunteers? Any TV ads aired anywhere?

96 days until election day.

Still waiting for Trump to create a campaign apparatus.

That implies Trump intends to fight to win.  Nothing is happening to that effect.  His intention is to hand the election to his good friend, Hillary.

O/T, but my 6 YO grandson relishes talking about that scene. Not so sure his other grandma appreciates some of the stuff we play in our house...   :silly:

From the article.

"'But scattered signs of campaign expansion and a modicum of discipline from the candidate may not be enough to placate angry Republicans after a week of unforced errors. “Some Republicans are close to bailing,” said Haynes. “At a certain point, people are going to say it’s more important that something is left of the Republican Party than stopping Hillary Clinton. And it’s getting close to that point."'

Inspite of the headline it doesn't look like Trump is doing anything to stop the bleeding.  If sounds like his staff is doing something sort of half-heartedly.

They're in a death spiral.  There's probably nothing -- even Hillary being caught in bed with a dead girl -- that can prevent Trump from losing to Clinton. 

He'll only get bad coverage now, because the media are clambering over each other to find the next damning quote; and he can't keep his mouth shut in any case.  No amount of hard work by even the best campaign is going to survive the next Trumpism.
