Donald Trump trails Hillary Clinton by months, even years, in using fast-evolving digital campaigning to win over voters, data specialists working with the GOP say.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has dismissed the science that defines 21st century political campaigns, a tool that President Barack Obama used effectively in winning two terms and the Clinton campaign has worked on for nearly a year.
And while it is too early to tell whether the late start signals trouble for Trump, it illustrates the difference between Trump’s proudly outsider campaign and the institutional knowledge within Clinton’s.

If a Republican had swindled people out of their life savings and homes, as Bill and Hillary did in Whitewater, the Democrats would have turned each and every one of those elderly couples into household names. They would have been on every chat show, and news magazine, and cereal box.
The Republicans allow the Democrats’ tens of millions of victims to remain nameless and faceless.
Trump is the first Repbublican candidate to mention the names of Democrat victims—the women raped by Bill, the people murdered by illegal aliens, etc., etc.
If the Democrats have succeeded in importing enough pro-abortion Communists from Mexico and the Muslim world to make the election of a Republican impossible, the next stop is a violent, shooting civil war, because the armed American citizen will not live under the tyranny the imported hordes are going to try to batten down on him.
You mean we are supposed to believe that a woman who doesn't even know how to send an e-mail can take over a fast-evolving digital campaign and defeat Trump with it? If she could keep her hands off the day-to-day operations of the campaign, I might believe it could increase her chances. But I don't think she can. She's way too arrogant to take advice from little people.
Well, people won’t sober up to that. There are many here who view Trump very similar to a superhero or even a god. Some really believe if Trump speaks it, it will happen. Some believe a wave of his hand will fix whatever he is waving his hand at.
That does not make him god, or a superhero, or give him the ability to magically fix things.
Most of us understand if he wins the election he will face opposition we could only dream would have faced Obama.
Knowing all this, what is the alternative, bend over and say “please sir may I have another”.
Do not confuse excitement over the message with hero worship, the two are not the same.
...that is what the Democrats are banking on.

No, but her campaign staff will hire people who can do it. She doesn’t need to know anything about how it works.
Obama knows squat about it himself, but it was utilized effectively for his campaigns.
I think the democrats have live analytics which indicate where they need votes and where to manufacture them on election day. That is what they are referring to IMHO. They just won’t say it.
Clinton developed the WHODB while in office and took it with her when she left. It is a massive Rolodex
Well that settles it. I, like most Americans, will certainly vote for the candidate with the better analytics.
More consultant BS.Cruz has more small donors, Clinton has more Big Data, blah, blah.
I imagine that same voter data has Jeb! crushing Trump...
Analytics are for people who only want to spend enough money to buy the votes necessary for 51% in enough states to win 51% of the electoral votes.
If voters actually like what you say and want you to be president, then you can shoot for 52....or 60!
Just wait until Trump has the Benghazi parents on the stage with him, telling their personal stories of Clinton's lies.
And some of the ladies that were attacked by Billy goat and the subsequent cover up (no pun intended) by the chief "Bimbo Eruption" spouse.
agreed- considering how awful the last two presidential elections went for the GOP (what was that game plan romney used on election day that fell flat?) and how far ahead the rats are in the area of digital campaign, communication, Trump best grasp this quickly..
Clinton’s big tech operation sure hasn’t helped her much against Sanders. Cruz was said to have the more formidable tech operation of anyone in the primaries, and it didn’t help him much against Trump.
Trump’s biggest asset is his instincts. Anyone who can come out on top against 16 senators, governors and former governors, with spending relatively little, must be doing something right.
BTW, I see that Trump really meant it when he said he was going to make a big play to win California. He’s having another rally there tomorrow, in Sacramento.
Your daily “Why Trump can’t possibly win” article.
“and the Clinton campaign has worked on for nearly a year.”
This makes it sound like they’re still trying to figure it out.
We know how well all that data modeling worked out for Jeb. This is just the data mining version of death by Excel. You can analyze data to the point of not knowing what to actually then *do*.
