Oct 2016

and this is no exception

Trump IS running a campaign to win, he hasn't given up, in his mind
he believes these strategies will be winners - he is doing what he has
done all along as he said he would. There is no deviation from his judgment,
which is of course perfect at all times according to him.

Of course his team has given up, there's no changing him.
