Rory Cooper: "The idea that firing a staffer shows some kind of competence when your advertising, your campaign infrastructure, your data infrastructure, the offensive nature of your rhetoric, your campaign is a dumpster fire and its not because of one staffer, its because of the candidate. This is not a real campaign to begin with. They have a half dozen people and are relying on the RNC to do almost all of the heavy lifting that a normal campaign does, which is near impossible especially when the RNC is going to have to focus on protecting the House and Senate seats that Donald Trump puts in danger.
Alex Conant: Trumps campaign is in free fall. There is not a single aspect of the campaign that is in good shape; he has messaging, finance, political, organizational problems and on the current trajectory, he will suffer an embarrassing defeat this fall. Effectively [Trump] doesnt have a campaign...Hes had two months now to consolidate conservative support and aside from one or two symbolic actions like the NRA speech and the list of judges both of which he subsequently undermined, hes done nothing to unite Republicans and I think arguably his standing among Republicans is worse than it was a month ago.
