Some advisers are telling Trump to pull out of Michigan. His cash crunch is going to change the calculus in these closing 8 weeks.

1. Fred Sr should have pulled out

but like his daddy #fatdonnie won't

[malaise]

4. THIS

[The Genealogist]

11. Sick burn!

[Ellipsis]

17. nice.

[Dopers_Greed]

19. Bwahahahaha

[MFGsunny]

22. + 1,000,000 n/t

[proud patriot]

23. ha ha ha ha ha ha

[demtenjeep]

24. would that be a DUzy in older days?

just curious

[proud patriot]

26. probably

I miss those

[demtenjeep]

28. So do I

it was fun

[jorgevlorgan]

2. I don't see him winning if he pulls out of Michigan.

Even Wisconsin is probably out of the question at this point. His path to victory is narrowing by the day.

[Thekaspervote]

3. Indeed it is!

[NCjack]

8. Requires some bold cheating.

[moonscape]

31. Bold cheating. Their only skillset. n/t

[lastlib]

27. Putin sure has his work cut out for him!

Sorry, Vladdy, your boy is toast! (You're next!)

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. What is his path to victory without MI? He then must win WI, MN, & FL

And NC, and PA, and GA, and NV, and he still likely won’t have 270.

[Terry_M]

9. No...?

Trump won by MI+WI+PA.
He can still win if he loses PA and MI but keeps WI (and the other states that he won last time - FL, GA, NC). It would be a narrow win (with 276 out of the 270 needed?) but it would still be a win.

I think the strategic point they're making is MI is lost, invest more money in WI and PA and hold the rest of the states he won last time. It's still a win for him if he doesn't lose all 3.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. But he is behind in all Rust Belt states, including Wi, so... nt

[Terry_M]

14. Yes, he's behind in all 3 and if he lost all 3 he'd lose overall

but I think the point they're making is invest more $$ in WI and PA and forget MI - because at the end of the day you don't need it and you're probably not going to get it money or no money.

He's behind by 10+ in MI, but by 6-8 in WI and 5-6 in PA I believe? So focus on the 2 where it's easier to close the gap. It makes sense in the end.

[Polybius]

33. New poll today has him down by 5 in MI

He'd be stupid to pull out now.

[Klaralven]

15. If he holds TX, IA, GA, and OH, then adds NC, FL, AZ and PA, he is over 270

See the "snake" diagram. -- "The winding path to victory"

[Dopers_Greed]

20. He is unlikely to win AZ

Polling is not even close to the margin of error.

[Fiendish Thingy]

34. That's a very narrow path to 270, with no room for error

The odds are against it.

[enough]

6. Somehow I don't believe it. NT

[notinkansas]

25. Didn't we read not so long ago

that the campaign was flush with cash? Where did it go? Into his pocket?

[Baitball Blogger]

7. What we've been trying to tell his supporters: This guy is good when it comes to taking

your money, and claiming he's a self-made rich man. When he's living off of your cash, all along.

[jimlup]

10. I hope the hell he pulls out...

By the way Donald, we've got Michigan so don't bother.

[llmart]

16. +1000

[KewlKat]

12. I just can't believe the ba$$tard's campaign is broke. Putin will fund it someway.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. Just SAY you're broke when you can clearly be bought.

There are going to be games plaid by criminals and we need to fight them EVERYWHERE.

[ToxMarz]

18. I guess campaigning works

but it just doesn't seem anyone who is voting for Trump in Michigan right now won't let anything stop them from voting for him. And anyone who isn't voting for Trump right now, isn't going to change their mind at this point. I wonder what difference it makes if he pulls out, but if it does GREAT!

[James48]

21. I live in Michigan

And Trump has strength here everywhere. It’s incredible these stupid people have Trump signs and flags- and support him regardless of what he says or does!

Pray that he writes off Michigan, because it’s going to take everything we’ve got to try and push Biden to a win here. Don’t trust the polls- it’s an uphill battle that is going to take every ounce of energy to win!

[C Moon]

32. Yeah, I'm not trusting what is being said. They are trying to set things up to be like 2016.

I doubt he's low on cash.
In October they'll probably flood the media with advertising lies they been building, to try and blind side the Democratic party.
American's have a short memory, they'll play off that.
