The Journal pointed out, however, that the last three Republican presidents have been unpopular with the media and yet somehow managed to rise above it.

In an interview on Fox News, Donald Trump said that he didn’t think there was any need for his campaign to have an effective Get Out the Vote effort, that people are so motivated to vote for him that they’ll get to the polls.
Meanwhile, Clinton campaigns with Joe Biden in Scranton, Pennsylvania today where she’ll focus on attacking Trump’s economic plan.
“Mr. Trump’s advisers and his family want the candidate to deliver a consistent message making the case for change. They’d like him to be disciplined”, the Journal wrote. “They want him to focus on growing the economy and raising incomes and fighting terrorism”, the editorial said.
That was April. Since he accepted the presidential nomination for the Republican party less than a month ago, the real-estate tycoon and former TV personality started a feud with a Gold Star family, continued to insist that the country’s election system is “rigged,” asked Russian Federation to hack into Hillary Clinton’s emails, followed by a suggestion “Second Amendment people” could assassinate her if she should win the presidency.
The notion that Trump would one day become sane is laughable.
“Is that so hard?” the editors asked.
“Mr. Trump is on the path to losing a winnable race”, the members of the conservative editorial board wrote, condemning Trump’s “lack of a field organization and digital turnout strategy” and his belief that the incendiary campaign rhetoric that enthralled GOP primary voters will work with the general electorate. Sources close to the campaign reported of the Republican Party’s attempts at an intervention, and it’s been noticeable when the impulsive-thumbed Trump’s Twitter account has been taken away from him.
“By now it should be obvious that none of this is working”, the authors said.

“As for Mr. Trump, he needs to stop blaming everyone else and decide if he wants to behave like someone who wants to be president – or turn the nomination over to Mike Pence”, it said, referring to the IN governor, who is Trump’s vice presidential running mate. Trump never would have had the backing of most media outlets, but with his childish antics and refusal to learn policy and get in line, Trump has succeeded in isolating those he needed to win the election: his own party. “Hopefully, he can have some more good days”.
