10. Hang on, let's look at this soberly

1. He has 15% of the Campaign Staff that Hillary has
2. The Clinton campaign is months ahead
3. The Clinton campaign is way ahead in its use of data to deliver/target their message.
4. Even when he was bankrupting himself 6 times, he still had the outward show of confidence. It's what he does. Even when he met the Reps on the Hill during the week, he begged them to give out the message that they had a "great meeting". It's flim flam.
5. Republican voters are hypocrites and have little if no morality, so even Trump will still get the 41%.
6. Trump has done nothing to win over the floating 10% of independent voters, while Hillary is spending tens of millions on Ads in the key states to set the character of Trump in the minds of voters, without any Ads in return.
7. Trump has such a shallow knowledge of the issues, I would be confident that he will be badly exposed in the debates. Manafort will absolutely coach Trump to play a defensive game, but I'm sure Hillary will goad a reaction out of him, over the course of the debates.

I view this like a 200 or 400m track race where it may appear that the outside runner is ahead, but when the bends unwind, the true leader will become obvious.
