40m is a good number. Wonder how much downticket she raised in addition to that.

Also, speaking generally, people who say "I have common sense" as their excuse for not knowing something as well as someone else are in my experience: a) Stupid, and b) without common sense.

It's like parents telling you that their kid "doesn't take tests well." You mean they're stupid.

It's extraordinarily common among a lot of C-level types, who think that because they've been really good at something, then their intelligence applies to all sorts of other problems they have no experience in.

Yeah, Trump not knowing anything is an asset for his supporters. He'll start from scratch on everything and use his superior deal-making abilities to win and MAGA and whatever.

My uncle works for Trump so he let me see the secret plan to defeat ISIS. It's actually a pretty good idea but I'm not allowed to talk about it.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Who knows, in a perfect world the rationale for it would be that Trump knows the Apprentice is most popular in those states.

he doesn't want to win with some pissant states. he wants the big ones that pundits say he can't have. why should he settle for missouri when he could have new york and california? it is not enough to win, he must win bigly

I don't even understand why he bothers with that line. Like he knows no one buys it right? And surely Manafort has clued him in that he doesn't have a chance in those states. Who is that bullshit for? Just to stroke his ego? He surely can't be that stupid can he?

trump stares squinting and pig-eyed at the electoral map.

"why isn't new york red"

"sir new york is not within our reach"

"new york is the biggest best state. i know because i live there. i want the biggest best state. get me new york"

"but"

"set up a new york call center, make sure it's protected, make people say passwords to get in"

His supporters are in it for the illusion. Trump tells them what they want to hear. What they most want to hear is that they're not actually assholes and the majority of the country doesn't hate them, which is why saying hopeless states are in play appeals to them.

Trump is not a human with a realistic view of the world, his campaign, himself, anything. Nobody else believes he can compete in New York but Trump does so that's what he's going to say.
