– Clinton’s grassroots advantage –
The Trump campaign is “deeply troubled,” said political analyst Larry Sabato, head of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
“This is a campaign that is underfunded, that isn’t properly organized. The convention itself is questionable in terms of what it’s going to produce.”
Sabato added: “The Clinton campaign is simply light years ahead of the Trump campaign.”
Last week, Clinton – who has far better funding thanks to supporters and big donors – launched a media blitz of ads attacking Trump in eight key states – Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
The ads will run for six weeks, until the party conventions – the Republicans meet from July 18-21 in Cleveland, and the Democrats convene in Philadelphia from July 25-28.
Campaign volunteers for the 68-year-old former secretary of state, who is seeking to be America’s first female president, will go door-to-door next weekend to get out the vote.
Such ground work takes time to organize, but Trump’s campaign is planning to outsource it to the Republican party – a task it normally does not perform.
