Trump's People Need To Stop Whining About Donald's So-Called "Disadvantages"

An interesting exchange occurred yesterday on MSNBC between Steve Kornacki and Trump Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway:
CONWAY:  "[Hillary] spent $66 million in negative ads just in September.  She's got tremendous advantages -- a former president who just happens to be her husband, a sitting President, a sitting first lady, both of whom are much more popular that Hillary Clinton will ever hope to be. ***  I want to give you the full context of why we are behind, but guess what . . ."

KORNACKI:  "I'm curious about this: You mention as a disadvantage the money Hillary Clinton was able to put into the campaign. ***  We've been tracking the ad spending. *** I guess what I am curious about is:  If that is such an advantage to Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump is sitting on this personal fortune, why hasn't he spent more money?"

CONWAY:  "That's a question for Donald Trump."
Conway then went on and on about all of Trump's "disadvantages," but the monetary disadvantages are all self-imposed, and he created them on purpose. Trump, in an interesting combination of stinginess and arrogance, decided that he was going to win without spending money on a ground game or on political ads. 

That strategy has blown up in his face, so Trump has his people out there whining about all of his so-called "disadvantages."  Fuck them.  These are the same motherfuckers who were boasting six weeks ago about how Donald is winning despite his failure to do all the normal shit candidates usually do in a presidential campaign.

I'll tell you who is happy about Trump's imminent electoral failure -- Democratic and Republican campaign operatives.  Had Trump succeeded in winning without a ground game or ads spending, those folks might have been out of a job insofar as future elections are concerned.  But Trump's plan is failing miserably despite the fact that he is running against the most unpopular Democratic presidential candidate in history.  I think their jobs are probably safe.
