he’s not denying that he didn’t pay those workers, and saying repeated bankruptcy is a good business decision. Too bad the Trump voters are mostly watching MNF. ---

It seems to me that the kind of things he’s saying will not resonant with the undecided voters. I think we’re going to see a drop for Trump in the polls. ---
