The email was trying to make a psychological connection between giving Donald Trump money and indicting Hillary Clinton. The fundraising pitch was the clearest suggestion yet that Trump’s campaign strategy isn’t vote for me. His entire is strategy is don’t vote for her.

American voters have a long history of rejecting purely negative campaign. Outside of his sales pitch that he will bring greatness to America solely by occupying the White House, Trump hasn’t given voters a single reason to vote for him. Hillary Clinton is laying out proposals and ideas. Clinton is showing voters what they will get from her administration.

Trump offers nothing but his personal opinions, and some vague promises to do things that everyone knows will never happen. The negative argument is not going to work against Hillary Clinton.

The idea of trying to raise money of off implying that you would indict your opponent if you win is undemocratic and deplorable.

Donald Trump is running the most un-American campaign in modern political history. The fact that his campaign can’t fire up voters with their own candidate or agenda is one of the biggest reasons why Donald Trump could end up being a big loser on Election Day.
