Time running out for Trump

Republican strategists say time is running out on Donald Trump.

Though there are more than 80 days to go before the election, GOP skeptics believe the party's nominee has little time left to straighten out his campaign in order to defeat Hillary Clinton for the presidency.

They note that the electoral map always favored Clinton, and lament — with some indignation — that Trump has done little since securing the GOP nomination to extend his reach beyond his core of support. “His path to victory was narrow to begin with and it is becoming narrower every day,” said GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak. “It is not really visible to the human eye at this point.”

Trump stunned the political world by winning his party’s presidential nomination in his first run for office. The victory over an impressive roster of GOP candidates shows that he can’t be counted out, and underscores the political class’s repeated underestimation of his strengths.
