Trump Website CRASHES Due to HIGH VOLUME of Donors After Immigration Speech
2016-09-01
[GP] The Trump campaign sent out several requests the last couple days to supporters asking for end of the month donations.

On Thursday night the Trump Campaign website crashed following his immigration speech in Phoenix, Arizona.

The donations page is down due to "unusually high volume of traffic." This was at 10:53 PM.

#7  I suspect by crash they probably mean "slowed down" to ~2000ad levels.

#6  Donations to buy media time.

When will they start the saturation 'insta-tronic' deluge of fax, email, instagram, twitter, Akami ad caching, etc? Why so reserved for something so contentious for an audience that has the attention span of a gnat?

#5  I worry about the Dems trying to steal the election. They may get help from DHS.

This 'alleged' Russian hacking thing is worrisome. I suspect the dems are knee deep into contingency planning, with the Republican establishment riding along in the back seat.

What the heck can Hillary say after that? What will her messaging be? Is the coronation in a holding pattern?

#3  Clustering and load leveling would have allowed them to handle the volume. It would seem they didn't anticipate the volume. But I'm wondering what the term crash means here. Did the server go haywire and need to be rebooted? Did it lose data? Or did it just become unresponsive because it had reached a set number of processes and had to finish some of the queries before it could take any more? Can't expect a journalist to know the difference.

#2  No website should die from a high volume of legitimate traffic.
Trump's staff should've learned about Clustering.

#1  Pretty sure Hillabeast's head exploded while watching that speech which, imo, was the speech which will be one day viewed as the speech which made Mr. Trump President Trump.
