HOW TRUMP WILL EXPLAIN HIS DEFEAT IN NOVEMBER, IN ONE BREITBART FRONT PAGE

Donald Trump's campaign woes became worse tonight with the release of a Fox News poll showing Hillary Clinton leading by 10. (In mid-May, Fox showed her trailing by 3.) Trump is in deep trouble, and he has no clue as to what might get him back in the race. All kinds of things can happen between now and November, and Trump still has the support of the majority of white voters and male voters, so he can't be counted out. But right now he looks like a near-certain loser in November.

If he does lose, is he going to blame himself? Of course not. A lot of people will get the blame -- but this portion of Breitbart's current front page may reveal the main argument he'll make to excuse his loss:



Mainstream pundits will be saying that it all began to go to pieces for Trump when he spent nearly a week attacking Khizr and Ghazala Khan for the speech Khizr Khan made at the Democratic convention. Trump will agree -- but he'll say he was dealt low blows, first by a man regarded in the Trumpite circles as a radical Islamist who'd like to replace the Constitution with sharia law, then by the Republican Party, which, as one of the headlines above argues, was "stupid to create a no-fire zone around" Khan. Stab in the back!

Meanwhile, in the near term, I wonder how Trump is going to explain his terrible numbers in the Fox poll. I wonder if he's going to see a conspiracy in the fact that his pal Roger Ailes was forced out at Fox, after which he sank in a Fox poll. Evil politically correct liberals are everywhere! They've completed their infilitration of Fox! Yeah, that might be his explanation.
