Democrats to give Trump 'rude awakening' in summer onslaught

Donald Trump's unconventional campaign is about to feel the heat of political organization.

Hillary Clinton and her Democratic allies have invested at least $41 million in commercials in crucial states such as Ohio, Florida and Nevada over the next six weeks, a series of summer broadsides against her Republican opponent. Those messages will be echoed by hundreds of Clinton workers in those same states and amplified by President Barack Obama and other top Democrats.

Trump has made few preparations for contending with that sort of well-oiled political machine. His campaign has no advertising plans and is just now hiring employees in important states. Republican leaders are far from in agreement on how best to talk to voters about the polarizing billionaire, or if they will at all.

Oh, a retread.

And Trump got more primary votes than any Republican candidate ever: including unprecedented numbers of blacks and Hispanics.

If Trump makes *any* significant inroads into those constituencies during the general, Hillary is T-O-A-S-T.
