#1 Cambridge Analytica has a bunch of egghead Ph.D. number crunchers on staff. Whether their number crunching efforts translate into votes is the question. Seems like they ought to be targeting voters who usually don't get out, independents, Bernie's ticked off supporters, and minorities who might be peeled off from their usual voting habits.

#3 There is a tension between the kind of spontaneous insanity and emotional thralldom that secured this idiot the nomination, and the kind of cold hard, fact driven, cash gulping, by-the-numbers campaign that might deliver a victory.

Don't think Donald has the patience or self-discipline, and don't think his Trumpkins will follow him down that path. As for actual conservatives, I know that no slick ad is going to change my mind.
