This campaign's plans and goals seem to change day to day on a whim. People will study his campaign in the future and realize how much time he wasted shifting from one stupid goal to another. He hasn't even started building an infrastructure in the states that he has to win and where he is down significantly. The stupidity of his campaign is actually making my head hurt.
On Tuesday, the campaign sent an email to supporters in California inviting them to a July 13 training session for the Trump Leadership Initiative (TLI) Fellowship Program in the city of Stanton, in Orange County.
Story Continued Below
TLI Fellows are the backbone of the Trump strategy to launch the largest, earliest, and most diverse ground operation in California history, the email states. Fellows will be trained and experienced in grassroots organizing, field operations, cutting-edge campaign technology, messaging & communications, and engaging in voter contact.
California has been reliably blue in recent presidential elections, and its large Hispanic population has Republican leaders in the state worried that Trumps candidacy could set the party back another generation there. So political analysts had greeted Trumps claims ahead of Californias June 7 primary that he would return in the general election to contest the state with skepticism. So the campaigns follow-through is noteworthy.

(3,072 posts)In terms of setting up logistics. Trump has almost no time left to get operations up and running in valuable swing states. He is wasting what little time he has left and his extremely limited resources on trying to win one of the most reliable blue states in the country. I'm perfectly fine with him doing this but it difficult to understate what a massive mistake this is.

(3,072 posts)I have never seen anything like this in modern American politics. The boneheaded moves that this guy makes are astonishing.

(22,037 posts)I don't remember if I've wrote this to you, Doctor Jack, but I've been a New Yorker since 1975 and We've had to endure a nearly daily dose of tabloid exposure of all things Trump. He's a pig and that's an insult to pigs.
It blows my mind that millions of our fellow citizens are going to vote for this man. What happened to our country?
Without any doubts, I'm confident that Hillary Clinton will make America greater than its ever been!

Keep it up Trumpy

In short, he doesn't care if he wins, as long as his name gets press and advertising that doesn't cost him personally.
