Trump: crowds are massive...why am I not doing better in the polls?’

[Likely Voter]

Here is Trump's latest missive on the polls...

He then goes on to blame the media

[Ljube]

Well, the media are to blame.

[skoods]

Well, the media are to blame.

Typical right wing trump supporter reaction. Taking no responsibility for their actions.

Because the media's to blame for your candidate being a racist pile of garbage.

Why are you losing, Trump? Because you don't stand for American values. You stand for Nazi values.

People ought to remember this when they think that throwing big rallies count as effective campaigning.

What do you consider effective campaigning?

Is he pandering to Reddit?

What do you consider effective campaigning?

Putting together an effective data-analytics model of your voters, targeted digital advertising, extensive field operations based on the 'team' model (if it works when you try to set it up). Classy, well made TV and radio ads that get your message across enough, but not breaking the bank to saturate the air with them.

Don't get me wrong: rallies are part of that. They're useful in manipulating the news cycle, and INVALUABLE for data capture that you can take into digital and field.

But wandering around the country with 30 staff as Don is doing now and Bernie did for the last month of the Dem primary won't get you anywhere.

Probably the same thing Sanders thought. Crowds do not equal votes (and Trump's crowds are smaller than the bern's were)

Second verse, same as the first
A little bit louder and a little bit worse

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

Well, the media are to blame.

For enabling him and allowing him to win the nomination in the first place.

[KingSweden]

It's like... It's almost as if... Big crowds don't translate to easy victories...?

[DrScholl]

He should ask Bernie Sanders about that logic.

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

I really really really can't wait for Nov. 9.

Don't know. Ask Presidents Howard Dean and Ron Paul about it.

Dear clownish trump,
Regardless of how "large" your crowds are, if they are predominantly 99% white, THAT ALONE is an indication of why you are down in the polls (and will lose the general election).

This basically. Which I've said basically more or less since the day he announced now more than a year ago.

Once a racist, always a racist. (When Romney says you are beyond extremely racist and a disgrace to his own party, a guy who gladly kept dogs on the roof and kept gays' hair down to basically nothing, in order "to have a little fun", then you really know you've screwed up big time. And way more than just 47% in fact. If Trump could get anything less than 74% of all votes against him in fact, both me, Buddha, Allah, Jesus and a whole lot of other religious historic figures could indeed announce Trump's campaign a huge success.

Ask Democratic nominee Sanders.
