2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI think that all the cheeto's campaign got left is to smear Hillary
Now up until Election Day. Cheeto and his campaign will be pulling $hit out of their a$$e$ and throw it at Hillary in hopes something will stick.
Luckily, Hillary has a good clean up crew.
And how low can they go?
They're past gopher levels.

(10,126 posts)starting in 2014 in Florida -according to the NY Times. They had pics of an office the GOP had set up to do this.
Trump hasn't been buying ads. $0 spent on ads by him in July.
The Kochs won't give him the dough they have been typically giving candidates for president. They're investing down ticket.
Donald says he's loaded and can afford it but his own campaign manager says Hillary is going to have a significant cash advantage.
Some Trump offices in battleground states just opened up with people that have unproven track records hired to do this. Again, a sign of a lack of money and organization.
Open Secrets for Trump

Open Secrets for Clinton who has four times the dough collected and four times the cash in the bank.

This whole thing doesn't add up. GOP & Trump are not on the same page - Trump isn't using their market tested ads - or they're not offering them to him. And Trump isn't spending or putting money into the campaign like he suggested he would.
It's not just his verbal remarks that are off. If they are going to try to mess Hillary up with smears, he's going to have to rustle up some ad dough. I have read they've booked some ad time but nothing that blew anyone away.
Less than 3 months to go and the above is going on? It's crazy.
