Is Trump’s Campaign Too Small? Or Is Clinton’s Too Big?
New York Slimes ^ | 7/26/2016 | Robert Draper

Posted on 07/26/2016 4:07:19 PM PDT by grayboots

Despite the view expressed by many commentators that last week’s Republican convention more closely resembled a grand-mal seizure than a smoothly coordinated rollout of a presidential nominee, Donald Trump emerged from Cleveland with exactly the kind of bounce such events are supposed to deliver. A CBS News poll now has Trump slightly ahead in 11 battleground states; FiveThirtyEight also shows him leading Hillary Clinton in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Nevada and Iowa. If this lead holds, he would most likely be guaranteed victory on Nov. 8.

First it was Trump’s hands; now it’s his campaign...give it a break.

Was the Austro-Hungarian Empire too big?

I’ve said it here before, and I think it needs to be emphasized. Not all of Hillary Clinton’s staff wants to see her elected POTUS. Trump has moles in her organization. Guaranteed.

According to Gallup, only 38% of Americans view Hillary favorably.

Looks like her ceiling and its a hard one. Can you say Trump landslide?

Witch Of Chappaqua is so unlikable she’s getting even less than her famous husband got on his first run in 1992!

To top off it, she can’t run her own convention. How do you expect her to run the country?

I would think Trump has to keep his campaign small and focused. We've seen just how ruthless the nevertrump backstabbers are, being focused on losing since it's the only way to regain control of the Republican Party (JMHO)

Really, who can Trump trust who has a political background?

They keep saying our convention was a fiasco. No, it was a smashing success. It was uplifting, full of energy, forward looking, glamorous and just plain fun. We got to know the wonderful Trump family, who have knocked the dopey Kardashians out of the spotlight.

Remarkably, this train wreck of a convention has given Trump a big bounce. The NYT is completely baffled.

Has Trump started on her yet?

Waiting for the onslaught on ads.

What a hoot. The New York Times scratching their heads in bewilderment-they just don’t get it.

Trump runs his shop like a businessman, and Clinton runs hers like a bureaucrat. It’s a real-life demonstration of how much more effective private organizations are than government at getting things done, and done right.

I think it's pretty obvious that Trump is getting very high-quality, very sensitive information from many interesting places.

He's made very provocative assertions and predictions that (a) first caused the PC hive to go berserk and then (b) were shown to be true within a few days or weeks.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it turns out he has someone inside Hillary's organization.

A compilation of biggest selling recordings in 1992. Some of them would make great soundtracks in a HRC video...

Maybe. Don’t forget Ivanka and Chelsea have been good friends.

Years ago I read a book called "The Mythical Man Month". A story by the guy who headed the team that built an operating system for IBM mainframes (VM).

Essentially, it explains why throwing more people at a project can often times make things even worse and take longer.

Hillary's campaign will have so many "experts", political advisors and moonbats that it won't have a clue what it's doing.

Trump's efforts will be smart, targeted and effective. He's going to win big.

More coded Rubio-speak?

Hillary's are the biggest you could possibly imagine.

Bingo!! That is one of the many reason why I will vote for him. He is a smart businessman and will use his resources wisely. This shows exactly how he will run our country.
