Morning Joe: "There is no Trump Campaign..."

No field operation

No communications plan

No advertising program

Just Trump making it up as he goes along.

IOW - there's no point discussing which States he could target to change the current trends, because there isn't a campaign operation to do it.

1. As of 8/12/16 Trump has no office in Cincinnati, OH

SW OH is the reddest part of the state.

I am really thinking that Trump's campaign is one big scam and I wonder how much money
he and his family are skimming off the top or pulling in on other scams such as Ivanka
pimping the dress she wore @ the RNC?

Trump's other SW OH offices are located in county republican HQs.

Fewer than 90 days before the election, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced several offices in Ohio, but none are in key Hamilton County and many are inside county Republican Party headquarters.

Democrats have been critical of Trump's slow-to-organize ground game in the all-important swing state of Ohio. An internal email acquired by The Enquirer showed the campaign had yet to appoint key local leaders or open a campaign office in Hamilton County, a key swing county. No Republican, and few Democrats, have won the presidency without winning Ohio.

Amid that criticism, the Trump campaign announced 15 new campaign offices Friday. Last week, the campaign announced the opening of its headquarters in Columbus and the hiring of several key staff members, including a spokesman. Republican National Committee organizers have been in Ohio since 2013.

he is con man, running the same con he has run his entire life.

And, he is a GOOD con man, and a good con man knows the key to the con is the marks.

That is why he ran as a republican, these dolts EAGERLY throw their money into the assholes like Hannity, etc, and there are so many other ways people grift off of the "conservative movement."

I think we are more and more seeing what Donnie Duesche said a few weeks ago.

He is going to come off of the election and start a "Trump Channel" of some kind on the cheap to keep his marks on the line and keep bilking them. I suspect he will utilize most of the remainder of his campaign funds he raises now (after he repays his "loans" with big interest) to use as political slush fund to finance the start up of this trump channel type thing.

that Trump is a con-man. However, he's still supporting Trump for president.

Say goodbye to your political future Marco.

Would not surprise me to find out that Trump's companies are making insane profit on the services they are supplying to the campaign. Like they are renting Halls at Trump properties for like $750,000 an evening, or those hats are turning a $90 profit per hat for Donald as he is charging the campaign $93 a hat.
