A defiant Donald Trump blamed his campaign struggles on “phony polls” from the “disgusting” media on Monday, fighting to energize his most loyal supporters as his path to the presidency shrinks.
With just 14 days until the election, the Republican nominee campaigned in battleground Florida as his team conceded publicly as well as privately that crucial Pennsylvania may be slipping away to Democrat Hillary Clinton. That would leave him only a razor-thin pathway to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House on Nov. 8.
Despite continued difficulties with women and minorities, Trump refuses to soften his message in the campaign’s final days to broaden his coalition. Yet he offered an optimistic front in the midst of a three-day tour through Florida as thousands began voting there in person.
“I believe we’re actually winning,” Trump declared during a round table discussion with farmers gathered next to a local pumpkin patch. …

“..his team conceded publicly as well as privately that crucial Pennsylvania may be slipping away to Democrat Hillary Clinton.”
Where is this being reported?
They are on message for their masters though. They even taint the comments to fit their pre-programmed story.
The contrast is totally amazing:
I listen to Trump & Freeps - FEEL FANTASTIC
Listen to ANY MSM - Feel HORRIBLE
It’s like two different countries.
A little like during the Monica Mess, when it was SOOO well developed here, yet totally untouched elsewhere.
FOR OVER SIX MONTHS..!!
Everyone remember this. If the Republican Party nominated Ted Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, or even Jesus Christ back this summer, the news we would be getting from the MSM at this time would be exactly the same. Hillary leads by a huge number.
What exactly are his campaign struggles? The witch has struggled more than he has. Man, I despise these people.
There are a couple of likely truths here. One, PA is probably going to Hillary regardless of how the election turns out. Two, PA is not crucial for Trump’s election, as much as the MSM would like it to be believed.
Libs lie yes? Yes they do. No honesty zilch. Their parents failed them.
PA would be awesome to get, though.
Depends in part on whether the ‘Black Men for Bernie’ founder who is now signing up thousands of Trumpocrats is on the up and up.

Which is backfiring on them.
More BS propaganda from AP.
Doesn’t matter who got the nomination, indeed.
But Jesus is King. This was acknowledged by those who fought for independence under the credo “No Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus”. That’s a Kingship that no being can take away.
They are using what Eric Trump and Kellyanne Conway said on the Sunday blabfest shows and creating a whole new narrative out of it.
Technically, Trump and Conway are right. Trump is down in the polls (Yeah, I know they're bunk, but it does show he's down). However, you have to remember that Trump is also a brilliant negotiator and strategist. This is his push to the base to GOTV and lull Clinton into a false sense of security so some of her supporters will stay home.
Rule number 1 don't listen to the enemy who lie all the time.
I was at the rally here in St Augustine and Trump never said at all PA is slipping away.
Yet more B/S from the media.
Or so they claim Hillary is leading. I sense the Dems are the ones in panic.
His campaign struggles are the incredible difficulty he's having getting through the MSM propaganda fog.
Yeah, and Steve Peoples and Jonathan Lemire don't sweat much -- for fat guys.
