Looks like they finally figured out where the panic button is located. Guys hurry, he needs your help. It'll be a little late but I'm sure he'll still take your money.

Saw some polls where Trump was slumping HARD. He was beating Hillary nationally after he won the Republican nomination, but now it looks like he's sinking massively.

And I love it.

I read about that yesterday

When does he get too far behind financially to make a comeback?

He threatens to self fund but we know how empty that threat is

I've been very much enjoying the past couple weeks

The money quote came from Barry Bennett in one of their direct uploads to Fox: "I wouldn't call it a pivot. The campaign has always been about the Mexican heroin problem, schools that don't work, a government that's wasteful, and people who can't find jobs, and no one is getting a raise."

Sometimes I just feel for these guys. On a different note:

I've only followed a couple presidential election cycles, how rare is it for a presumptive nominee to replace his campaign manager?

Well, that's just embarrassing for him. I knew that HRC was the heavy favorite entering the General Election, but I didn't think Trump's campaign would faceplant this soon. I thought that would happen in like late July after the convention or early August.

He doesn't have much cash on hand, either: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/election-2016-campaign-money-race.html?_r=0 ; http://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/

It's hard to believe Republicans voters chose someone that is so un-electable. Well, maybe it's not. But this is good for the GOP and for America. The party needs to rethink itself.

Someone really wanted to make America great again:

Secret Service is staying mum on his case, filed in federal court

A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer's gun so he could kill the billionaire Republican presidential candidate.

Anti-Trump protester Michael Steven Sandford even went to a gun range on Friday so he could learn how to shoot.

He was arrested at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino on Saturday after saying he wanted to get an autograph from a metro police officer – but instead going for his gun.
