Is time running out for Donald Trump?

[Teddy B 17,252]

It's time for a "Come To Jesus Meeting". The last paragraph in the quote below is a yuuuge problem for Trump.

Presidential campaigns can run into trouble for a variety of reasons. Sometimes there are external events over which they have no control that put them at a disadvantage, such as an economic downturn that makes it hard for the party in power to resist calls for change. Sometimes there’s a scandal that engulfs the candidate, or a string of campaign-trail mistakes. There may be fundamental demographic patterns working against the candidates that are hard to overcome. Or one campaign might just be doing its job better than the other, building a better organization to turn out voters, managing the media better and raising more money.

And sometimes, everything goes south at once. That’s what’s happening to Donald Trump right now.

Donald Trump’s campaign and top Republican Party officials plan what one person called a “come to Jesus” meeting on Friday in Orlando to discuss the Republican nominee’s struggling campaign, according to multiple sources familiar with the scheduled sit-down.

Though a campaign source dismissed it as a “typical” gathering, others described it as a more serious meeting, with one calling it an “emergency meeting.” It comes at a time of mounting tension between the campaign and the Republican National Committee, which is facing pressure to pull the plug on Trump’s campaign and redirect party funds down ballot to protect congressional majorities endangered by Trump’s candidacy.

The request for the Orlando Ritz Carlton meeting originated with Trump’s campaign, according to a source familiar with the broad details, and is being viewed by RNC officials as a sign that the campaign has come to grips with the difficulty it is having in maintaining a message and running a ground game.

“They want to patch up a rift that just keeps unfolding,” one source said. “They finally realize they need the RNC for their campaign because, let’s face it, there is no campaign.”

When that person says “there is no campaign,” what they’re referring to is Trump’s skeletal operation, not only at his headquarters but even more critically in the field. To take just one example, Trump has one field office in Florida, the largest swing state in the country. One. Less than three months from Election Day, he ought to have dozens. And understand, if Trump loses Florida, it will be essentially impossible for him to win the electoral college under any plausible scenario.

The Washington Post. Many people say that they're not writing good stories. I have to be honest.
