I have to think that if Trump was really serious, he would be building a serious ground game.
He’s bailing on it, which is exactly what he did when it turned out to be too hard to run for Mayor of NYC or other things that he has threatened.
If Donnie can’t buy it, he won’t work to get it. He spent his own money on this campaign - and all of his other campaigns - because he knows he cannot attract donors. And after his ego-driven melt down the other day, I’d say any potential donors have already switched their donations.

Trump absolutely hates shaking hands. That little factoid, which he published in one of his books, explains a lot. That’s why he prefers speaking to large crowds instead of going to town halls where he’d have to be up close and personal, and it’s likely why he’s staying out of NH where the voters expect to press the flesh, sending his family in to represent him instead.
It’s also probably why he flies home every night instead of staying in a local establishment, or even at the home of a friend of the campaign. He’s simply afraid of germs. I’m really surprised this hasn’t come up very much so far. Running for President with an aversion to shaking hands would seem to put him at a significant disadvantage.
This is a grand experiment on Trump’s part.
