   Has Trump lost this election?  Is it over for him?
   
   He seems to be saying more and more things to piss people off.  After the comment about the Kahn family, it appears that many Republicans are turning to Hilary, and the party is turning against him.  Then he made comments about the "second amendment people" wanting to kill Hilary and some other comment that he said he was joking about.  He is falling in the polls.  Has he done himself in?

   Trump is no longer relevant, he is no longer entertaining. Quite obvious by now that if he is not a controlled opposition for Clinton then Clinton is the better manager.
   
   What happened to Trump’s $63m? Rump had lent his campaign $50m. Although Rump promised to forgive this loan, NBC news reported that he never filed the papers to actually do this. Perhaps Trump repaid himself from the $63m, leaving little money for ads and field staff.

   I read an article about Trump's early life in the Atlantic magazine.  He can't help  himself.  He is wired to win.  It may even be a disorder, but according to this article, he will fight against those who oppose him to the very end by what ever means he has available to him and it doesn't matter what the fallout causes.   
   
   He is also not a team player.  He is a master at dividing and conquering, but he is not capable of playing by any rules, except his own.  That's why the GOP is backing away from him.  He refuses to play by their rules.  I don't know if it is over for him, but it will be interesting to see what tactics he uses to stay in the game. 
   
   He has already stated that Obama and Hillary are the founders of ISIS and then he changed direction several time.  He now states that if Hillary wins, it's because the election process is rigged.  That plants a seed in his followers minds that will last for Hillary's term not matter if it is 4 years or 8 years.  Just like Benghazi and the emails, they  will not let people forget it.

   It was always going to be an "uphill battle" for Trump.
   Anytime a candidate doesn't truly have the support of his/her party leaders and the big donors along with the former presidents of their party it's going to be tough to win. They're still looking for alternatives!
   It only adds fuel to the fire when there is a "daily comment" that seems too shocking for many of his supporters to overlook:
   The Kahn family whose son made the ultimate sacrifice, jokingly telling second amendment people (they) could do "something" about Hillary if she wins, and accusing a sitting U.S. president of (founding) terrorist group....All of this in less than two weeks!
   In addition he has suggested more countries should have nuclear weapons, threatened not to participate in the debates and has accused the general election process of being rigged.
   One has to wonder if he {really} wants to be president.
   Will he choose to drop out in order to save face rather than lose to Hillary in an Electoral College landslide?
   People in both parties are speculating what his motives really are.
   There has been mention that he doesn't really have much of a "ground game" or "get out the vote" strategy along with campaign office headquarters in numerous states.
   According to political insiders Trump doesn't heed the advice of his own campaign strategists. He wants to go with what got him the nomination. Tossing "red meat" to his (hardcore followers) is one thing but in order to "win" he will need to win over some independents and swing voter states. He has less than 85 days to turn it around.

   I think Trump's chances of winning this election have taken a sharp turn for the worse in the past weeks. However, his spokesperson Katrina Pierson may have lined up the nails for his coffin, if not down right slammed the nails shut herself.  Her interview was cringe-worthy at best. Toward the end, even if you were a Clinton supporter, you almost felt bad for Pierson at her complete lack of understanding about what she was talking about. This interview was supposed to be a chance for her to help explain certain statements by Trump and appeal to female voters. Instead she came across as woefully un-knowledgable about many important facts "at best" or someone who believes facts are not important at worst. Then when corrected instead of acknowledging the misstatements and trying to readjust her position, she either doubled down on the statements or tried to shift the blame on the reporter. I have said this before about both of the main political parties, and some of the lesser parties.  It is important that the people you present to the public come across as knowledgeable about the subject matter being discussed at hand.  These people know the subject matter prior to the interview and in many cases set contractual boundaries concerning the nature of topics which can be discusses.  If these individuals cannot even prepare for the topics which were contractually discussed prior to televising the interview then the campaign has bigger issues. The campaign is now coming across as being ill prepared.  If the Republican party is going to turn this around they need to convince Trump to turn control of the campaign to those who have been here before.

   None of that is true. You are just parroting what the left media has been dishing out. Kahn was a setup, Trump had nothing to do with the Iraq war, and especially the death of Kahn's son. Hillary however did vote for the Iraq War, so indirectly she was responsible for his son being there.
   
   The death of one Muslim American, doesn't justify in any way why Trump's statement of not letting in unvetted Muslim Immigrants from Terrorist infest countries.
   
   Kahn attacked Trump not vice versa. He had no grounds to do it.
   A few years ago, a Muslim American who was a Major in the US Army in OK, killed and injured many American soldiers. I didn't hear anything about that at the DNC Trump fest.
   How was Mr. Kahn's provocation in attacking Trump valid?
   Shouldn't Mr. Kahn have been more pissed at Hillary Clinton for voting for the War that killed his son?
   
   Also, Trump never used the word Kill, but you put it in your ? as if he did.

    I am not voting for Trump, so this is not meant to endorse him, but I don't think it's that he  has been saying more and more things to piss people off.
    
    I think his critics (liberal media, conservatives who hate him, etc.) take what he says, often out of context, and twist the meaning. For example, wanting to stop illegal immigration gets twisted into 'Trump hates Mexicans!' Or he jokes about how maybe Russian hackers can find Clinton's lost emails and people act like he's just taken out a contract. The hyperbole and drama are staggering.
    
    And then people just keep beating that dead horse until it's bones are ground into dust.
    
    Seems to me a lot of people have just chosen their side and firmly planted themselves there, and what they really want to hear is a lot of dramatic hype so they can 'rah rah rah' for their team and boo and hiss the other team (both sides do this, I mean). They don't care if it's at the expense of facts, intellectual honesty or even coming peacefully together for the sake of our country. They want to be right, they want to jump on a bandwagon and point fingers and villainize the 'other guys' (or gals, as the case may be). 
    
    Personally I think Clinton and Trump almost equally suck and I'm voting for Johnson... but while Clinton has the edge, as they say, it isn't over until it's over. Who knows what will be revealed, some big story could break, and we haven't even started the debates yet, so I think it's still anyone's game. Things can turn on a dime.

    Trump can still win this campaign, if only because Hillary Clinton is  just as despised as he is.  Arguably, this election is between the two worst possible candidates that could have been selected by their respective party, and that tells me the current campaign could swing around readily.  If Trump can still win he'll do it being the Trump we've already seen.  But I believe it can only get worse for Clinton, as more and more is revealed about her emails and the Clinton Foundation.  Has Trump done himself in?  Probably not.

    We have had much stronger opponents in other parties in the past, but they still lost.  Ross Perot, Ralph Nadar, among others.  The simple fact is any Republican who votes for a second stringer is voting for Hillary, like it or not.  Any Democrat who votes for a second stringer is voting for Trump.
