It “will take a miracle” for Donald Trump to become president, a senior campaign adviser told CNN’s Jim Acosta. This “key adviser from Donald Trump’s inner circle” told CNN that the Trump campaign had all but written off their candidate after The Washington Post published a 2004 video of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women last month. The campaign reportedly urged Trump to stay on message after the October surprise and considered “the fact he’s been able to close the gap” as “a stunning achievement.”
