Trump is in a lot of trouble. Needed this week to recast his campaign, and the 1st two days were overshadowed with the plagiarism thing, now today is going to be Cruz's disunity message in the limelight. Even with Hillary's problems these past few weeks he hasn't been able to actually increase his vote share. Unless tonight is a massive success there won't be the bump he needs, and it sounds like HRC is announcing her VP pick tomorrow in Florida to step on whatever news cycle Trump gets out of tonight. And you know the DNC is going to be well choreographed with actual good speeches by actually popular politicians.
Really started thinking the past few weeks this might be a very close election that could go either way, but the last three days have done a lot to lessen the chances of that.
This across the board (other than ever believing that this election would be close--there's no way Trump doesn't do something to alienate people).
They have completely botched this week, just as they squandered the entire month of June after Trump secured the nomination. Calling it "amateur hour" isn't a strong enough criticism of their campaign. This is basic, fundamental stuff, like making sure that Joni Ernst--a young(ish) conservative, female war veteran Senator and a rising star in the GOP--gets a primetime slot on Monday, or actually having your speakers talk about that day's theme (e.g., Tuesday's theme was "Make America Work Again" but I didn't hear a single person even mention a Trump plan for the economy--the theme should have been "Make America Prosecute a Clinton Again")
