I'm betting that when/if polls don't move much he's gonna explode. Being on script 24/7 must drive him insane tbh.

The question is if he got his fix tonight at the rally. Somehow I doubt he felt the adrenaline rush from reciting lines from a trumpteprompter to a half filled room.

At best he may be able to shore up some shaky suburban Republican who'll support him now because he's saying crazy stuff in a less crazy way via teleprompter, but at the best that'll still only get him up from the 30s into the low 40s.

maybe there are hidden white supremacist voters in swing states not captured in current polling?

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.

After a week of seeing that normal life for a politician is all handing out play-doh and sitting through dull policy meetings, I bet DJT is seriously considering dropping out so he can go back to shouting at construction contractors and pressuring green card-seeking Serbian models for BJs.

What Donald J. Trump Owns and Owes

On the campaign trail, Donald J. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has sold himself as a businessman who has made billions of dollars and is beholden to no one.

But an investigation by The New York Times into the financial maze of Mr. Trump’s real estate holdings in the United States reveals that companies he owns have at least $650 million in debt — twice the amount than can be gleaned from public filings he has made as part of his bid for the White House. The Times’s inquiry also found that Mr. Trump’s fortunes depend deeply on a wide array of financial backers, including one he has cited in attacks during his campaign.

For example, an office building on Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan, of which Mr. Trump is part owner, carries a $950 million loan. Among the lenders: the Bank of China, one of the largest banks in a country that Mr. Trump has railed against as an economic foe of the United States, and Goldman Sachs, a financial institution he has said controls Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, after it paid her $675,000 in speaking fees.

Real estate projects often involve complex ownership and mortgage structures. And given Mr. Trump’s long real estate career in the United States and abroad, as well as his claim that his personal wealth exceeds $10 billion, it is safe to say that no previous major party presidential nominee has had finances nearly as complicated.

As president, Mr. Trump would have substantial sway over monetary and tax policy, as well as the power to make appointments that would directly affect his own financial empire. He would also wield influence over legislative issues that could have a significant impact on his net worth, and would have official dealings with countries in which he has business interests.

Yet The Times’s examination underscored how much of Mr. Trump’s business remains shrouded in mystery. He has declined to disclose his tax returns or allow an independent valuation of his assets.

Earlier in the campaign, Mr. Trump submitted a 104-page federal financial disclosure form. It said his businesses owed at least $315 million to a relatively small group of lenders and listed ties to more than 500 limited liability companies. Though he answered the questions, the form appears to have been designed for candidates with simpler finances than his, and did not require disclosure of portions of his business activities.

the new trump style seems to be exactly what he needs. He is still saying all the same horrible fascist poo poo, just without the off the cuff gaffes. If he can keep this up I still think hill wins but it is going to be a much closer race. I'm sure he'd much rather be out there running his mouth but I can see him keeping his poo poo together until november now that he has seen the same act won't work in the general

I'm guessing they'll go the Sarah Palin prep route: try and get him to memorize ten answers to anticipated questions and tell him to use one of the answers even if the question isn't anticipated.

From a lot of accounts(like the Ben Schwartz Art of the Deal guy) he may actually have less of an attention span than Palin, so good luck with that.

Doesn't sound too off. If Trump can stop chomping on his own toenails on national TV, Hillary might be able to point the news cycle towards it.
