First Read: Breaking Down Trump's Brutal June [View all]

by CHUCK TODD, MARK MURRAY and CARRIE DANN

Let us count the ways in which Donald Trump lost/squandered the month of June in his race against Hillary Clinton:

1.The polls: Trump now trails Clinton by six points nationally in the RealClearPolitics average, when Clinton's lead had been just one point in late May.

2.The money: He had just $1.3 million in the bank, according to the last campaign-finance report, versus $42 million for Clinton.

3.The ads: For the month, Clinton and her allies outspent Team Trump over the battleground-state airwaves, $26 million to $0, though the NRA starts spending $2 million on Trump's behalf in battlegrounds starting today (more on that below).
