BOMBSHELL: Trump’s own data team has him losing

Political

BOMBSHELL from Bloomberg Businessweek’s Joshua Green and Sasha Issenberg -- TRUMP’S TEAM HAS HIM LOSING!: “THE TRUMP MACHINE IS BUILT TO LAST. BIGLY”: “Despite Trump’s claim that he doesn’t believe the polls, his San Antonio research team spends $100,000 a week on surveys (apart from polls commissioned out of Trump Tower) and has sophisticated models that run daily simulations of the election. The results mirror those of the more reliable public forecasters -- in other words, Trump’s staff knows he’s losing. Badly. ‘Nate Silver’s results have been similar to ours,’ says (digital guru Brad) Parscale, referring to the polling analyst and his predictions at FiveThirtyEight, ‘except they lag by a week or two because he’s relying on public polls.

I thought he was going to horde all his money for himself after the election so he can pay back Putin

Morons.

Also, he did a Tony Soprano-style bust out on the GOP. All the RNC's data now belong to Trump and Bannon now
