      2. It seems shocking when you put it in plain words: "Donald Trump isn't running a real campaign." But it's true.

      3. How could this be? Trump won the GOP nomination. His name will be on the ballot. He's holding rallies. Yet he has a Potemkin Campaign.

      4. Trump is only giving interviews to Fox, he's holding rallies in Mississippi & Texas. He's spending 10% of what Clinton is on ads.

      5. Trump's field operation in key swing states is minimal. He's taking straw polls on shifting his signature issue. Not a real campaign.

      6.Don't be fooled by emperor's new clothes. They don't exist. There is no pivot. He's going through motions but there is no real campaign.

      7. The whole Trump phenomenon illustrates how title & spin overpower perception. Because he has title of GOP nominee he must be campaigning

      8. Exactly right. Media has no rule book for covering race where one side is campaigning & other is not. https://twitter.com/squirbin/status/768246461242961920 …

      9. Because none of have dealt with situation where one side campaigns & other doesn't, we revert to pretending this is normal election.

          it's not just he's not campaigning. He has basically no policies of any kind. It's amazing.

          Media is also deeply incentivized to present presidential race as neck-and-neck; it drives viewership.

          See '12 race, which Media presented as "HOTLY CONTESTED FIGHT TO THE FINISH" even though Obama consistently had a comfortable lead

          Seems true, but a) why isn't he further behind? and b) what does it say about the value of running a campaign?

          It’s the 80/20 rule. The last 20% of the work takes 80% of the effort. If you’re trying for 2nd place, that’s fine.

          .@HeerJeet I've been shocked at the reluctance of media to go after Trump. They constantly make excuses and give him wide berth. Why?

          Disregard real/unreal campaign. It's the candidate who's not a normal human being that's the ignored-by-MSM real issue.
