Trump has well over 11,000,000 twitter followers. A committed, fired up, loyal online army of 11+ million can be very useful in an election. But you don’t build and maintain a devoted following of that size by ignoring them. They require an occasional chunk of red meat.

Trump is playing this masterfully. It’s how he defeated 16 professionals in the primary. He knows what he’s doing.

Fantasy;
the reality is he needs upwards of 70 million to vote for him, and except for his fans, he is widely unpopular, as is Hillary Clinton. His committed, fired up, loyal online army of 11+ million surely do not require more entertainment to support and vote for him. The problem we are up against is persuading people that do not like him to vote for him. All the people that like him are already voting for him. He is a bit shy of victory and needs to convince erstwhile Republican voters to choose him over Clinton, and get some black voters to get him a chance to improve the country. Most of all, he needs the grace of God to show mercy on us and grant Donald Trump and Mike Pence the electoral victory and the wisdom to lead effectively.

Trump should put away childish things; no feuds with minor off mission targets; focus like a laser on Hillary Clinton and prove to the unpersuaded public why he is the better candidate.
