Travels of Donald Trump—August 2016
Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton | U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine || Donald Trump | Gov. Mike Pence
August is he first month of the fully engaged general election
campaign, as the candidates came off their conventions. Trump
endured a very difficult first half of August, hitting a low point
where quite a few pundits concluded "it's over." On August 17 he
announced a campaign shake-up (+). Reversing
his earlier disdain for the teleprompter, during August Trump has
been giving telepromptered speeches that seem to be helping him stay on
message and have received favorable
comments on delivery. Since the shake-up
Trump has been making a concerted effort to reach out to
African-American
and
Hispanic voters, incorporating specific passages in his speeches and
holding a number of roundtables. In addition to
a full schedule of rallies (the campaign reported 32 rallies in 16
states compared to 11 rallies in 8 states for Clinton) and fundraisers
(our tally found 19, but there were likely more), Trump has also mixed
in
other types of events, for example stopping at a couple
of FOP
Lodges, visiting flood-ravaged Lousiana, and most boldly making the
trip to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in Mexico City
at the end of the month.
Trump concluded the month with a much anticipated major speech on
immigration. There had been
some confusion about his stance and suggestions that he was "softening"
his position, but in his Arizona speech he continued to
espouse a hardline view.
