TSF said he was expanding the battleground map. His campaign spending suggests otherwise

On the last Saturday of July, with the presidential race in flux from an unthinkable month of turmoil, Donald Trump looked out at an overflowing St. Cloud, Minnesota, crowd and predicted he could accomplish what no Republican presidential candidate had managed in nearly half a century.

“I’m telling you, if we have an honest election, we’re going to blow it out in Minnesota,” the former president said.

But since that bold declaration, Trump hasn’t returned to the Gopher State. His running mate JD Vance, on stage with him that evening, hasn’t either. Nor have Minnesotans seen Trump campaign ads on their televisions recently, and they likely won’t this fall.

Trump and his advisers once envisioned an ambitious electoral map that would take the presidential race through blue-tinted states and provide the Republican nominee more paths to the White House. In May, surrounded by donors at his Mar-a-Lago club, Trump presented his plans to compete for Minnesota and Virginia. His campaign maintained an office in New Hampshire and even held a rally on the Jersey Shore.

The only thing expanding is his waist if he keeps eating those Big Macs.

is that cracks are showing up everywhere in tRUMPland, and he's being besieged everywhere, on all fronts. And guess what? I suspect strongly that he's stole a lot of the donor money that should have been used for the election, but now is all gone, into his black hole pockets, to support his losing businesses. Too bad that it's not near enough. He's still going down massively.
