Donald will lose if he continues on like this.
Accept him for who he is. Don’t expect him to be someone he is not.
I can’t do anything other than accept him for who he is.
Dude does what he does. I don’t think he takes advice from anyone else.
From my perspective, I don’t think he’s advancing his cause at this time.
Exactly. Also lost on all this nonsense is that even with the CNN driven rumor that Carson was pulling out, which both Cruz and Rubio camps picked up, Carson over-performed vs. every poll going into Iowa. In fact Carson over performed even better than Cruz or Rubio. The only people who underperformed were the rest of the field... and Donald.
But again this go to show how weak his GOTV efforts were. Politico wrote a really good piece that simply looked at the campaign expenses of Trump, Cruz and Rubio. Trump spent a measly $500k on data in Iowa, meaning voter information... meanwhile he spent $1.2 million on hats. Contrast that with Cruz who spent $3.6 million on data, and little in the way of promotional materials like hats and posters. Likewise Rubio spent around $2.5 million for the same voter data and analysis. That’s why Trump got outworked... has no ground game to back up his efforts.
And apparently Donald has the same issues going into NH... he’s spent little in GOTV so we’ll see how that works forhim. Now to be fair he is upping his game in some other states, but he could be bloddied fairly early.
