And it looks like reality, having abandoned the 2x4 it was using and moving to a large lead pipe has finally managed to get into Trumps head….

FLETCHER, N.C. — As he took the stage here in this mountain town Friday afternoon, Donald Trump was as subdued as the modest crowd that turned out to see him. He complained about the usual things — the dishonest media, his “corrupt” rival Hillary Clinton — but his voice was hoarse and his heart didn’t seem in it.

He also promised to do all that he could to win, but explained why he might lose.

“What a waste of time if we don’t pull this off,” Trump said. “You know, these guys have said: ‘It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, there’s never been a movement like this in the history of this country.’ I say: It matters to me if we win or lose. So, I’ll have over $100 million of my own money in this campaign.”

“So, if I lose,” Trump continued, as the crowd remained unusually quiet. “If I lose, I will consider this. . .”

Trump didn’t finish his sentence, but he didn’t really need to. After weeks of controversy and declining poll numbers, Trump and his campaign have settled into a dark funk. Even as he vows to prevail in the race, the GOP nominee’s mood has soured with less than three weeks to go until Election Day.
