Trump is the rock star in this campaign. Despite the antipathy of the media , he has access to whatever platform he chooses and uses social media very effectively. Despite her huge war chest, the support of the media and very well funded SuperPacs, Clinton has been unable to establish the narrative and define Trump as she wishes. He on the other hand has been successful in defining her as an inherently dishonest corrupt smelly old hag who would be a disaster as President. The Media remains astonished that huge numbers of independents, Democrats and women are flocking to his banner. They will really become apocalyptic when polls soon begin to show that he has more black support than any Republican since Herbert Hoover.
” Clinton has been unable to establish the narrative and define Trump as she wishes”
Trump has totally defined the narrative:
1. Released a detailed 21st century foreign policy that eschews the moribund ideas from the previous century. Hillary will have to respond to that sooner or later, presumable in the debates at the latest. Trump’s foreign policy is structured in such a way that it will be a lose-lose proposition for her to oppose it.
2. Hillary will have to respond to Trump’s list of potential SCOTUS nominees. Whether she releases her own list or not, it will be lose-lose for her.
3. Jobs and the economy are already a losing issue for her.
4. National security is already a losing issue for her.
And so it goes.
