Trumped

[nate]

In one day he sabotaged all of his momentum.  Anyone that can be baited into publicly arguing and demeaning the parents of a slain US officer is not fit for President in any way.

[InsideThePark]

 The Washington Post released a transcript with its full interview with Trump, indicating among other things that he paused five times to watch TV coverage in the middle of the sit down.

 

That one made me laugh.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

On the news at the gym yesterday CNN was talking about how one of the major papers pointed out multiple faults of Clinton's but they ended by saying at least she's not a sociopath.  Trump somehow just managed to keep from imploding until now but he's showing that he's anything but qualified to lead the country.

Long con by Trump?

 

[red321]

I think the people pushing that rumor today are Republican's praying that he drops out. And seriously, what are they going to do...they've all stood by and tacitly endorsed him for months. He's not saying or doing anything different than he has the last year and almost all of them have stated "they'll support the nominee".

Hell, he and his camp have been upping the ante lately, implying that if he loses it's because of fraud and the election would be illegitimate, Roger Stone going so far as suggesting people should rise up in the streets.

I almost mentioned this article as I came across it this morning. I don't think it's a long con by Trump I think he's just proving what a lot of people thought about him and that's the fact that he's a man child who isn't qualified to run the country.  Instead of letting things go he gets into it with the family of a fallen war hero because he was "viciously attacked."  It's like someone on facebook arguing non-stop with someone who insulted them rather than doing something more valuable with their time.  Except in Trump's case he's arguing with people and insulting them when he's supposed to be proving he can run a country.

No older white males are going to rise up in the streets for him.  

They all have jobs.

That was a dumb move by Obama, to inject himself so explicitly in the election and attack Trump. Now he's going to get the "Donald treatment".

 

The Donald treatment....*shiver*...after 8 years of birtherism and all that crap thrown at Obama...I'm pretty sure he's not all that worried about the Donald treatment, he seems to have handled it fairly well in the past (see below). I think he enjoys slapping the talking yam around.

I think this is some epic trolling on Obama's part...by calling out folks like Ryan and McCain...how can they possibly back away from their endorsement of Trump at this point without a segment of folks on the right saying they are taking their orders from Obama? It's bad enough they have stood by and watched as Trump has careened from one disastrous statement to the next, but taking orders from Obama...that would be and endless primary campaign commercial.

I love that Twitter exists now.  You can find gold like this from 2012.

that's exactly what Bernie did

Probably his college transcripts.

Probably his birth certificate.  It is just hilarious because Trump refuses to produce his tax return.

[Lou]

meh, those are two completely different issues. and the list you posted included quite a few things that are either understandable or amount to nothing - his attack on Mrs Khan not being one of them. 

So how do you feel about Hillary lying to Benghazi victims' families as to the cause of the attacks that killed their loved ones?

You obviously didn't read the tweet.  And you are right it isn't because Presidents have never just released their long form birth certificate.  All presidential candidates since the 70s have released their tax returns.

How do you feel about our government always lying to the families of soldiers killed on classified missions?

What's the Benghazi version of Godwin's Law?

Can't begin to imagine the chaos nationally if this were to happen.

Let's just turn up the chaos. Imagine if there is actual fire in the leaked emails and both bow out of the race.

/Ok really unlikely
//Could you imagine?!?!

Trump turning up the insane after H. Clinton stumbles really not helping dissuade the conspiracy theories. 

[fan_since79]

So this is like the 100th time the media has pronounced Trump's campaign dead in the water.

The 24/7 cable stations just talk, talk, talk, and Trump's numbers go higher.

Is he really turning up the crazy...or is it the fact that he's not running against like minded people in a Republican primary starting to become apparent. The same act that wins the Republican primary has a totally different audience when it comes to the general election. Media isn't looking at it through the Republican primary lens either. He certainly is getting a lot more scrutiny and questioning...dumb ass statements that went unchallenged suddenly get some push back and that leads to him double down on the stupid. I think that's just who he is....the hope for Republicans was that he would adjust and it looks like, at least for now, he's decided not to.

I read what you posted.

so you're not going to answer my question. ok 

 

[nate]

I don't even know what you are talking about honestly.

You think it is reasonable for him to withhold his tax return.  Especially since one of the things he is running on is that he is so rich.

[nate]

By the way, as always, excellent "Look over there!"

You still haven't answered my question about how he treated the Khans.

so you're ok with Hillary lying to the victims' families? 

Or, are you in agreement with Hillary:"what does it matter"?
