The media covering every single thing Trump says and/or does makes money not that big of an issue in this campaign, unfortunately. Obviously it counts but not as much as it did in previous elections. Any money lost is made up with the free media coverage he gets.
Also lack of ground game didn't stop him from winning the primaries. I agree with you overall, but I just feel like all of the traditional rules of an election don't matter this time around. If you look at the map from 2012, all Trump really needs is the rust belt and NH and he'll win. Is it likely? No. But it's very possible.
Ground game is less important in the primaries where the voters are more committed. It'll be much more important in the GE.

Exactly. And the only "swing" states in the rust belt that Trump has any shot at are Ohio and Pennsylvania. Trump could win OH, PA, IA, NH, and NC and would still lose 284 to 254. It's not just a steep climb, it's tantamount to walking up the side of Mt. Everest.

It's also how Hillary beat Bernie in a lot states during the primary. Ground games matter, and for a close race they could be the difference between win or lose in the GE.
Just a month ago, Trump had a 20% of becoming president according to Five Thirty Eight. Now he's at 42%.
I just have a bad feeling Trump is going to win. The Clinton-Kaine ticket is perfect on paper, but it still doesn't reflect the anger that's overtaken America. I'm scared.
Thirty years ago they would have been perfect. Ten years from now they would seem less likely.
Hillary only has to win Florida and she wins the election. It's that simple.
Of course she could do it with other swing states adding to the total of Florida. But she only really needs to win a swing state like Florida and it's all over.
No one trusts Hillary with ANYTHING now we have terrorist attacks at least 2/3x a week, blacks shooting police officers dead every day (in the hope of igniting an ugly racially-motivated civil war) and refugees raping and sexually assaulting their way through Europe and elsewhere. It's so obvious.
And even more leaked emails throwing Bernie even FURTHER under the bus, oh my god Hillary is AWFUL. How can anyone see that someone this devious and calculating and lacking in humanity is going to be anything advantageous for America?
Ew why are they reducing super delegates? What don't they understand about Donald ****ing Trump being nominated? People don't know what's good for them! If Kanye West is the next elections Democratic nominee then I blame Bernie Sanders

When Hillary wins in Nov I'm gonna be so perched on social media watching the Bernie Bros and Trump trolls have complete breakdowns, wine glass in hand. "It was RIGGED" "The establishment won, DEMOCRACY IS DEAD" "America is a failed state" etc it will be glorious

the drama in here. The election is months away. Hillary is more than capable of winning this.
