In an interview with Fox Business Network's Neil Cavuto, RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan compares the excitement, fundraising and organization metrics of the Clinton campaign and Trump campaign.



"Trump's hardcore supporters are really, really energized," he said.



"That is not his problem. His problem is building beyond that, getting the extra 5 or 10 percent he needs to win the election," he said about the Trump campaign.



"Hillary Clinton has the opposite problem," Bevan explained. "Which is that her base is not as energized. She is having trouble with millennial voters in particular, but also other folks -- African-Americans. She really needs to get that base energized. The Clinton campaign thinks they did this with this debate [at Hofstra University]. If there is one thing that comes out of it, maybe she wasn't able to win over new voters, but maybe she was able to pull back some of those base voters who were not as strong on her as they might have been."



"[Hillary Clinton] spent $150 million in the month of September and lost 5 or 6 points in the polls," he said about their fundraising totals. "So money is not the be-all, end-all. The Clinton campaign says they are using that to organize. But Trump didn't have that much of an organization in the primary and managed to beat a 15-person field that was much better organized than him."



He added: "So it is not at all clear to me that the traditional metrics you use --money or organization-- are going to matter as much in this election as they have in past elections, becuase Trump is such a unique candidate."
