I guess they needed someone besides Jeffrey Lord to say crazy #### supporting Trump?

Former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is joining CNN as a political commentator, according to a source familiar with the arrangement.
It's a salaried position and will make Lewandowski exclusive to CNN, effective immediately.

Clinton picked up a bunch of business executive endorsements today....including many republicans. They range from the old stand bys to the newer kids on the block. Having trouble getting the link in on my phone without it crashing the browser so I'll pull a Trump. Trust me I know all the best links.

Speaking of the best links, Trump is in Scotland right now promoting his golf course and being met by a bunch of protestors - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...and-visit-amid
See that? I linked from a mention of internet links to golf course links. 3 links in one.

A poll came out from a GOP pollster showing Clinton ahead by 7 points in Arizona.
I've never heard of the pollster, but if that number is anything close to right, this election will be a landslide. Grains of salt are: unfamiliar pollster, and polls are generally less predictive before the conventions. But still....

That Trump is going to have to play defense in so many supposedly safe states is going to make it even more expensive for him to win. Hillary isn't spending money in Pennsylvania which is pretty arrogant to believe its a safe Dem state, but with the states he's opening up it can be lost and make no difference. In Arizona, like Utah, he does poorly with Mormons, so that's a problem he's going to have to work out, nevermind his Latino issues.

I really think he has a tough electoral college hill to climb. It comes of really only being popular among white men without a college degree.
On the money front, unless he starts raising a whole pile of money much more quickly, it will be a moot point which states are competitive. With 1.3 million on hand he has to pretty much pick one state and do all of his advertising there.

So what happened to Trump funding his own campaign? Wasn't that the big selling feature?

Apparently, he may have changed his position on that one.

I feel like there's a poignant picture being created of all these idiot Trump supporters watching his campaign just implode.
"We done built us a Rocket Trump and fired 'er off. Stupid people ain't so stupid now, is they? Rocket Trump's 'bout to enter the gen'ral now against Evil Clinton... There he goes! Watch this, 'Murica!"
"Ah crap, Willy. The rocket done blown itself up. Back to firing off guns behind the tools shed for us."

Can't help but think the Brexit vote just threw Trump a massive lifeline. This is almost surely going to shove the world toward another recession, and economic downturns are never good for the incumbent party.

The counter of course is electing Trump means global depression. I don't think the Brexit vote helps Trump or hurts him, it's negligible to me.

I think the vote helps him, but the results of it by November hurts him

I think it emboldens his supporters to believe that this approach can work, but the Brexit is not the Electoral College. As Kootenay pointed out Trump is struggling in Arizona, the equivalent of the Brexit struggling in rural areas. Trump has so many more hurdles to overcome here. If anything this will probably cause the Dems and anti-Trump effort to take him even more seriously which is not a good thing for him.

The GOP is in danger of losing Georgia too.

The poll numbers after the conventions will be much more telling. By then we will know who is consolidating their base, which both candidates are struggling with a bit. This is why a 7 point lead for Clinton looks like 45-38 rather than 50-43.
I think I would rather be Clinton right now though. There was another (older) poll showing Trump leading in Texas, but by just single digits. Neither candidate was over 40%, and it was some time ago--but it underscores the electoral college folly of alienating Latino voters.

Maybe the Republicans should trade some of their older players like Trump for first round draft choices. Frankly I think its time for a rebuild.

They're problem is they basically have a collection of Kevin Lowes and Jim Bennings running the show. Even when they try to draft new stars, they still blow it (see: Rubio, Marco).
