I am starting to believe that Trump may have a chance of winning after all. Since he fired Paul Manafort, he seems to be following Kellyanne Conway's advice and avoided shooting himself in the feet the last few days.

Until the recent changes, when I wanted to link a new article for the Case Against Trump thread, all I had to do was search Google News for "Trump" and choose from a long list of articles related to a direct Trump quote. Now, when I search, the articles that are returned are more typical of liberal media smears - the same kind that I saw about Republican presidential candidates in previous campaigns.

Had Trump not wasted so much time listening to the likes of Lewandowski and Manafort, and had he hired a decent campaign manager after he locked up the nomination, he would probably be leading in the polls now.

The question now is, does Trump have the self-disipline and the will to win necessary to continue to avoid self-inflicted damage to his own campaign? I doubt it, but if his poll numbers continue to improve, then maybe Trump will continue to take good advice and stay focused on Hillary and Obama failures.
