CRUCIAL PERIOD IN CAMPAIGN CREATES ANXIETY
TRUMP CONFIDENT, CLINTON NEAR DESPERATE
The crucial part of the 2016 presidential campaign has begun. While Trump and his campaign are looking confident, the Clinton campaign and the media are on the verge of panicking. Though Clinton has remained in the lead in most polls, her lead is mostly confined to the margin for error. This will not be acceptable for a win by Clinton. Most serious analysts believe Trump will have a built-in 2% result over his polling numbers. This is due to most polls focusing on likely voters, who vote in every election. Many of likely Trump voters have not voted in years and are not on those lists. Below you can see that Clinton has outspent Trump by $235,000,000, but has not been able to push him out of the race. In fact Trump has been gaining a little every week. Clinton and her surrogates have raised and spent $338,696,000 to Trump's $97,107,570.
The Clinton campaign has a large staff and has been running negative ads on most major media; they are shocked that Trump is still contending. Their strategy to label Trump and his supporters as racist and xenophobic bigots has mostly been ineffective. Clinton has gone as far as to label Trump supporters as a "Basket of Deplorables". This has been part of the democratic strategy to label Trump supporters as uneducated, trailer park whites. Only trouble with this is many of the Trump supporters have relatives, spouses, and friends who are fence-sitting Hillary supporters. This is not a good strategy. They have also tried to connect Trump as an ally of Vladimir Putin because he has not disavowed positive things that Putin has said about him. He has also objectively called Putin a decisive and strong leader. These attacks are all a symptom of desperation. Interestingly, while the the Clinton campaign has been on the personal attack on Trump, Trump has shifted to focus on policy and outreach to the black and Hispanic communities. He has questioned her honesty, connections to the Clinton Foundation, and record as Secretary of State, but has not attacked her supporters. He has definitely attempted to appeal to Clinton supporters. The other strategy of the media and Clinton is to label Trump unqualified, intemperate and not suitable to be president. Trump has been on good behavior and has 58 days to dispel those questions. Clinton is supposed to have the best organized ground game. The ground game for Trump has not been managed by the campaign, but is more of a spontaneous grassroots movement, much like what happened with the Obama campaign. Most all of the Trump signs have been bought by the individuals who display the signs, not by the republican party or the Trump campaign.
The Clinton campaign and the media have protected Clinton until now. She has not had a major news conference since December 2015, all her events are heavily orchestrated, and her speeches are scripted by others. This policy now has to come to an end. She will need to pick up the pace and challenge Trump on the campaign trail, become more accessible to the media, and ready herself for a face-to-face debate with Trump. She has been handicapped in that she has many excuses for her email and Clinton Foundation problems and really has no adequate answer. And now here health has become a real, legitimate issue in the campaign, all eyes will now be on her. With the first debate due in two weeks, it will be much like a sports event... the most confident and self assured candidate will probably win. If Hillary Clinton has the ability to regain her footing and look strong, it will keep her campaign in the game. If she continues with the desperate attacks she will be toast.

The media has revealed itself to be totally in the tank for Clinton, they have become hysterical, manufacturing a story and then talking about it all day. Thy appear to be orchestrated right from the Clinton campaign. They have now totally lost their credibility.
