King of Clowns, Donald Trump, Does Not Have a Campaign
Donald Trump Does Not Have a Campaign
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-does-not-have-campaign-n586356
Donald Trump is a candidate without a campaign - and it's becoming a serious problem.
Republicans working to elect Trump describe a bare-bones effort debilitated by infighting, a lack of staff to carry out basic functions, minimal coordination with allies and a message that's prisoner to Trump's momentary whims.
"Bottom line, you can hire all the top people in the world, but to what end? Trump does what he wants," a source close to the campaign said.
In reporting on Trump's operation, NBC News talked to three Trump aides and two sources working closely alongside the campaign, all of whom requested anonymity in order speak freely.
Veteran operatives are shocked by the campaign's failure to fill key roles. There is no communications team to deal with the hundreds of media outlets covering the race, no rapid response director to quickly rebut attacks and launch new ones, and a limited cast of surrogates who lack a cohesive message.

(22,037 posts)1. Does Donald Trump's campaign have any money?
It's been said that Donald Trump hasn't put up enough of his own money for the campaign. Coupled with the credible questions about his actual net worth, maybe he wants to spend as little money as possible to limit his personal financial exposure.

day to day fulfillment that it gives him.
A kind of 'let's see how how far I can go' before he drops it and moves onto to something else.
