PoliticalBOMBSHELL from Bloomberg Businessweeks Joshua Green and Sasha Issenberg -- TRUMPS TEAM HAS HIM LOSING!: THE TRUMP MACHINE IS BUILT TO LAST. BIGLY: Despite Trumps claim that he doesnt 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, Trumps staff knows hes losing. Badly. Nate Silvers 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 hes relying on public polls.

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
