BILL'S NO SPIN ANALYSIS

Hey BillOReilly.com Premium Members. Welcome to the No Spin News for Monday, the 22nd of August 2016. 

So the Trump campaign is trying to reorganize and get some traction again because it is falling behind. There’s no doubt about that. They have problems now in Ohio…I told you that Virginia is a hopeless case. He’s not going to win Virginia.

Colorado, no. Out in Colorado, Johnson is going to peel off…you know the Libertarian guy, the marijuana guy, pro-marijuana guy, former governor of New Mexico…he’s going to peel off a larger than expected chunk, and that will come out of Trump. 

So Colorado and Virginia, say goodbye. 

So that leaves him really with very, very little margin of error. Now, he could win Iowa and he could win Nevada, but they’re small electoral college states. It looks bad in New Hampshire right now and all of that. 

What the Trump campaign is trying to do is trying to get something that will reignite his persona, not his campaign so much, his persona—get people interested in Donald Trump again. Because what you’ve got now is…they’re tired of it. 

The press has worn him down, marginalized him, and he’s helped that effort by getting involved in controversies that really have nothing to do with running the United States. So that’s what’s happened. 

So now it’s about Trump coasting and maybe picking up a little momentum until the debates at the end of September. You’ve got about a month where he just has to coast. 

Next week is a forgotten week, everybody’s on vacation, and then you’ve got Labor Day, and then everybody comes back and then he’ll refocus. So Trump’s got a little breathing room, but he can’t make any more mistakes. I mean, he can’t. 

I don’t cover the small ball stuff—like he said bad things about a morning show host on MSNBC. I’m not going to bother with that. I mean, why would I do that? That just wastes everybody’s time. 

Trump’s the kind of guy that if you say something bad about him, he’s going to come back. Everybody knows that. So to me it’s inconsequential. To me it doesn’t mean anything.

More importantly is the interview we did tonight on policy, and how are you going to do it, and what about immigration, and all that. That’s important. 

We’re also trying to get an interview with Hillary Clinton. I’d say we’ve got a 50/50 shot at it. I think that’s realistic. She’d be smart to do it. It would show courage because I’m a tough interviewer. She knows that we have not hammered her unnecessarily. It’s just fact based analysis. We don’t go after the marriage or any of that stuff, we just don’t do that. So she would be smart to do it and I hope she does because it would be a service to everybody in America. Everybody would watch that interview and we’d learn stuff, right? 

Barack Obama did it three times so she can do it. She’s already interviewed with me once and it was fine. We got a lot out of it. 

So that’s the stage that we’re looking at now at the end of August. I hope that you’re enjoying our coverage. If you have any suggestions for improvement, we certainly want to hear those.
