This is why it's going to be hard to beat him. No matter what he does he will always get the last word because:

1. He has lots and lots of unused campaign money
2. He a huge mega media infrastructure (foxnews, talk radio, twitter, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and local affiliates)
3. A very large base
4. A room full of people working overtime to come up with excuses, rationalizations
5. A tired, beleaguered, worn down general audience

As for your #3, his base is not large. Only 19.5% of Americans voted for him. It only gets large right wing media amplification. Pump and churn might make you even think they're large, but they're not.

Cheerleading only works for so long when you see people around you dropping like flies.

Whoever's left might even rethink their futures as they drag themselves to the voting booths. They might not add up to electoral votes in the battleground states. Even if paid.

It's only hard to beat cheaters, liars and killers.

Are you losing heart?
