Is Trump's campaign team limited to him, his sons and Pence?

Christie seems to be tied up with his Bridgegate case. Giuliani seems to only speak after debates and on Sunday morning shows and doesn't address rallies. Trump's sons seem to be the only ones actually addressing any forums and around here in Republican safe haven NW Ohio, and they're small venues. The fact that they're not going into undecided areas should tell you something.

Trump's lack of a grass roots GOTV campaign plan is bearing fruit now.

Clinton on the other hand, has her husband, a past POTUS, the current POTUS and First Lady, Kaine, Elizabeth Warren and others.

When you look beneath the superficial coverage on the media of Trump's campaign, there is no way in hell that he can be remotely close to Clinton in this race.

... but upon reflection, it's probably best just to let things play out at this stage.

If, say, Trump were to come to some rational realization about reality (which is highly unlikely in the extreme), there's a tiny chance he could garner a few more votes. As unlikely as that may seem, I think Trump needs to be buried in an avalanche so only a small core of his potential terrorists remain a threat.

Incidentally, I am aware that your remark was more of a snappy comment, than a statement of policy. So please regard my remarks as just friendly chit-chat, and in no way implies that you are, or most others, unaware of this

and Idiot Chuck Todd didn't say, "Well, that's his job - to get both. And he antagonized everyone who could help him."

Some rigged media.
