Wallace shared with Trump a poll that showed 75 percent of women thought he was unfavorable

Wallace shared with Trump a poll that showed 81 percent of Hispanic voters had an unfavorable view toward him.
…
Trump responded and said that the numbers would go “way up once I start going.”
Trump is right - once he “starts going” 90%+ of them will have an unfavorable view of him.
Beat me to it 
Trump’s primary strategy now is to find a good way to justify losing in November, so that even if he loses he won’t be branded a loser. It won’t be his fault he lost, it will be because Clinton is a woman, or whatever other justification he comes up with. His followers will agree and happily buy Trump Steaks, Trump Water, and attend Trump U. Winning!
“Proceed…”
The Donald’s favorability rating will peak once he is gone. Then he can brag about being the biggest loser in Presidential history!
Only a fool seeks counsel from himself alone about subjects of which he is utterly without knowledge and experience. As conservative Republican David Brooks put it:
“Donald Trump is epically unprepared to be president. He has no realistic policies, no advisers, no capacity to learn. His vast narcissism makes him a closed fortress. He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know and he’s uninterested in finding out. He insults the office Abraham Lincoln once occupied by running for it with less preparation than most of us would undertake to buy a sofa.”
Wallace must be freaking out. He delivers numbers like that, and the candidate says “he likes that”??
The NYT had a piece yesterday about all the people saying outright they don’t want to be on Trump’s ticket as VP. With exchanges like this, I have to wonder…Why would anyone want to even be called his campaign manager? Its obvious you aren’t going to actually manage anything, and will only be there to be the scapegoat when Trump collapses.
No shit?
But quite as expected, the article strongly suggests Christie is in the short list. My guess is the offer is already in place.
The Niccolò Machiavelli of reality TV…

Now John Thompson has gone on record about how no one could pay him enough to be a failure (or be a part of one), so I guess Manafort’s reasoning will be that everyone (including him) loves an interesting challenge.
Is this the same “strategy” that led to four bankruptcies?
That’s my guess, too. They just want to keep it on the down low so there aren’t any charges of quid pro quo for Christie’s endorsement.
There was a pretty telling moment in Trump’s victory “speech” Tuesday night,where her sort of offhandedly said he would be considering lots of people as running mates…and then called out Christie specifically. Christie got a big grin on his face, and Trump turned around and gave him a little handshake.
That’s when I became convinced Christie has been offered the job.
I guess…but it seems rather short sighted to me, as the level of loss they are looking at this fall will seriously crimp any campaign manager’s future earning potential.
And Manafort doesn’t really hold the reigns on this, not completely. They are still doing some weird back and forth with Lendowski while Manafort learns that he can’t EVER put words in Trump’s mouth, and must back everything Trump says.
That has to be creating some serious issues with the internal staff.
"“I don’t have to tell you, you cannot win in November with those numbers,” Wallace told The Donald.
Trump responded and said that the numbers would go “way up once I start going.”
The numbers will really take off after this little distraction comes about:
"
The New York attorney general suggests that Donald Trump may be taking the stand soon in a court case about the now-defunct Trump University.
The news follows a New York court decision that the lawsuit filed by the
attorney general against the former for-profit institution will proceed
to trial, after a settlement could not be reached.
I am very pleased the judge has indicated her intention to move as
expeditiously as possible to trial, as thousands of Mr. Trump’s alleged
victims have been waiting years for relief from his fraud," Attorney
General Eric Schneiderman said in a statement released this afternoon."

I’m guessing Manafort realizes he’s a “specialized” sort of consultant/manager (of any kind) in that his history already points to very high-level skulduggery, deception, very dirty tricks, lies, payoffs, probably murder and the threat thereof that there is little desire among those who could only hope to afford his services anyway. Trump very likely is paying out the ass for this man to be on board and Trump probably made it clear upfront where the line is – and he isn’t allowed over it. Manafort still has a future in his line of specialized work if he so chooses – there are dozens, probably hundreds of ultra-wealthy who work on his level is services, and they range from politicians to corporate heads to despots.
It has been half a century since Dems controlled both Houses of Congress and the presidency, and a majority of the Supreme Court was inclined to decide cases before it in line with Dem values most of the time. I think Trump has put us at the threshold of a new such era, but not just because of Trump. Even independent and moderate voters are fed up with the obstructionist GOP BS of the last eight years. I think voter inclination to get stuff done will turn the tide in many heretofore GOP safe districts and states like Portman’s in Ohio and Ayotte’s in NH. The NRA’s power for one may be just about to break.
Trump is a legend in his own mind.
Hillary ain’t been occasionally wearing Babs Bush’s pearls por nada…
