IT’S TOO LATE TO DUMP TRUMP; UPDATE: RNC TEMPORARILY HALTS SOME WORK FOR TRUMP, Allahpundit writes:

I used to think we were destined for a trainwreck October in which Trump trailed far behind Clinton, the RNC dumped him, and then he spent most of the month attacking Priebus, Ryan, and the rest of the “rigged system” for supposedly sabotaging his campaign. He would need a stabbed-in-the-back storyline to scapegoat someone else for his own failures. But Trump hung in there all summer and was basically tied in the polls with Clinton before the debate two weeks ago, suggesting a more traditional October in which the party was united for victory. Now it looks like we’re going to get a trainwreck after all. Forget the debate tomorrow; Trump’s next rally will be amazing.

Read the whole thing for an update on where things stand with Trump and the RNC. As for an Allahpundit-esque exit question, didn’t the Trump campaign know that these stories were guaranteed to drop in October? Shouldn’t they have prepared a response plan, ala the Clinton war room’s “Bimbo Eruption” pushbacks in 1992?
