You have to keep in mind that Hillary has a huge overhead to deal with compared to Trump. She has over 900 people on the payroll, with every K Street firm feeding at the trough.

By the time she gets through with payroll. overhead, etc. , she has little money left for the actual campaign.

Trump is getting great support from small donors, over $80 Million in July. I personally am on a monthly program and gave $200 this month already. I think Trump can make fund raising goals and then some.

If Hillary’s donations are falling off them then that is a bad sign going into the fall campaign.

I think Trump had let her spend and spend so that when he starts she has already blown her wad. If at this point with all her spending this race is till more than competitive shows that the negative ad campaign is not working at all.

Fox says Trump has acknowledged that he is behind in the polls and Hillary is going to be doing heavy fundraising.

I’ve never heard Trump say he is behind. So that is false.

As far as what Hillary is doing who knows in between naps.

This sounds like a critical problem for Clinton’s “get out the vote” efforts - how can they possibly count on people casting five or ten votes each for Clinton if they can’t “spread the wealth around”?

(Either that, or they need to pump up their coffers in anticipation of having to buy expensive new broomsticks and additional squadrons of flying monkeys for use by Hillary and her closest aides in preparation for the post-election victory tours, bewitching rituals, and Party purges.)

No one wants to give someone who is going to lose money.

Donors are looking at the polls and all they see is a 41% candidate.

Yep - the cold slap of reality. Jeb's donors can commiserate.

-- I've never heard Trump say he is behind. So that is false. --

I won't vouch for what FoxNews reported, but Kellyanne Conway as interviewed for a couple segments this AM on CNN, she did a great job by the way, and rather than challenge the polls as being off, she just said that being behind lights a fire under them (the Trump campaign) to get to work.

I think that is a good approach. Getting into the weeds and challenging the accuracy of the polls is a bit of a rabbit hole, and a one-word rebuttal is enough. Brexit. But still, the Brexit people worked hard, maybe harder because the polls showed them losing.

Let the press believe what it wants about the accuracy of the polls. When they move to favor Trump, you'll hear the press talk about how unreliable the polls are.

Mook has been making those warnings at least since May. The real news is that she hasn’t picked up in the polls.

He’s looking to play Hillary’s victory party.

She’s spending money like crazy (ads on NBC during the Olympics just can’t be cheap),

And they're stupid ads.

The one with Trump on a late-night show, I guess, is supposed to make us mad at him and think he's a hypocrite. If so, it just falls flat.

The one all about how Hildebeeste is going to rip off the rich and the corporations to fund bigger government boondoggles paints her as a red communist. It's actually a pretty good ad against her.

I agree. That’s why she’s a terrible candidate.

That said, I think that Trump should have said to Letterman, “Hey, Dave, you’re right that my company’s clothing is made overseas. Do you have any idea what liberal policies and bad trade deals have done to the textile industry in this country? They have absolutely devastated it, to the point where it almost doesn’t exist. On the other hand, when I’m President, I’ll change those policies and trade deals, so that entrepreneurs can open up textile factories here and make money while employing tens of thousands of people. But maybe that’s not the answer you wanted to hear, was it Dave?”
