Unsurprising that the biggest post-DNC blow to Trump's campaign was completely self-inflicted.
CNBC and NBC reporters have sources saying Trump campaign staff in disarray

Who could have possibly seen this coming?
Everyone.
I doubt that this is the end, but if it is it would be sweet justice that a muslim american was the one who started the avalanche that buried Trump.

He just got TWO 20 dollar fill-up meals from KFC. For himself.

I think it's also appropriate that his anti-Muslim bigotry is what ended up biting him the most.

I don't know. I know for sure his ego will take a hit when Hillary wipes him in the general.

No. I seem to recall alot of people here panicking after Trump's acceptance speech.
While his recent strings of implosions are encouraging, I hope that people here and everywhere don't assume that Hillary winning is assured. I hope people in red and blue states alike vote as if this guy could win in November. Every briton laughed at the Brexit movement and looked at what happened. Americans can't afford to posture the same way the UK did.

Heard a report today that those close to Trump say he wants to win, but he doesn't want to be President. He really just doesn't want to lose. His dream scenario would be to lose by a half point, claim election fraud, and stir up his supporters enough to launch the Trump News Network.
It would be like watching Brietbart on my TV. Ewww.

Guys and gals, did you all see his tweet about Obama going down as worst president in history. I was on his twitter and noticed he ended up getting into a fight with a Russian lady on there. Seriously, Hillary was right about this walking bag of excrement.

Water is not wet!
If he thinks hes going to lose he might. He seems like the kind of person to leave a match once defeat looks imminent. Now because of his personality he wont blame himself for the low polls but he will blame Clinton and the Demoncrats. Possible the Republicans and his supporters.

That editors nite don't play lol..
You would probably need two Constitutional Amendments. One that reforms the Electoral College and another that abolishes First-Past-the-Post on a nationwide level and sets voting rules for the entire nation.
Considering that America can't even get rid of the penny without intense skepticism, getting people behind abolishing FPTP probably would take an act of God.
Drumpf right now:

They will finally kick him out (which is what he wants), somehow. Trump seemed to want exactly that all along; either hijack the party for himself, or start a new one by taking a bite out of it. Heck, he might run for congress or governor somewhere next lol.

That's what makes it so genius, he has been planning this even back then. It's a years long infiltration of the GOP by using their own rhetoric to endear himself to the fanatical base.
I wish. :-/

Trump would never quit. He is not a quitter.
I remember him saying that in Trump Magazine.

This should be a mandatory public service announcement in every mention of Trump until he's banished from this race."Editors note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S."

Another one - lying about knowing Michael Bloomberg and following it up with the weird golf comments.
He seems like the kind of guy that would rage quit and then blame everyone but himself for the loss.
I bet he won't even give a speech if/when he loses. He'll just make some tweets about how America will fall apart and how we'll deserve it.
The thing to remember about Trump dropping out: that gives him a finite amount of coverage, as major as dropping out will be over a course of a week or two of fallout. Staying in, even if he's a literal one-man campaign, keeps him in the spotlight, which is the only reason he ran in the first place. Read the Washington Post transcript from today, he breaks from the interview because he saw himself on TV and wanted to comment on himself. He can't drop out, he needs to stay in the news.

A ton of them already did. Not one former Republican president, vice president or presidential or vp candidate showed up for his convention. Major primary candidates like Kasich didn't show either - and Cruz showed up solely to diss him on stage. Priebus and Ryan - the literal party leadership - were only there because it's their job, and even then gave him the most "I'm only doing this because I have to" endorsement possible.
It was pretty blatant. I don't think much of the media picked up on it.

I don't know man. I think Pence political career is in jeopardy. No wonder Trump couldn't find anyone reputable for a VP. They knew it would be a political suicide.
At this point I have to imagine the reptilian imposter would make a better president. It's kind of bigoted to assume a lizard person is innately evil by merit of being a lizard afterall.
Unless Hillary reveals she's secretly a reptilian impostor, Trump is so screwed.
Just a rough calculation
Math checks out.
The Trump/Clinton debates are going to be.... something, but I'd be almost as excited to watch a Clinton/Stein one or a Clinton/Johnson one. I think Johnson might be able to say a few witty one liners that impressed people, but both of them would destroy themselves the second they were asked about any of their actual beliefs. Like, it would set third parties candidates back decades (again).Maybe now we can finally see a third party take over.

Well, Drumpf supporters DO want an outsider right? How much more of an outsider can you be than Reptilian?

Trump's going to weasel his way out of the debates somehow. I can feel it.

What money? The Koch's have already said they're not giving Trump anything. Trump supposedly raised $35 million. We don't know how much of that is for his campaign and how much is going to the RNC/Victory Fund. Romney managed $101 million in July of 2012. There is no money to divert.

1) I doubt there'll be a mass exodus from Republicans. Remember when they said they would do everything in their power to stop him at the convention? It was fucking nothing.
2) As much as I would move to see the spectacle of an exodus, I sincerely hope they don't do it. I want every one of these fuckers who went to the RNC and waved the pom-poms for four days fully knowing they were backing a white supremacist to suffer. These rats shouldn't get to jump ship only when it is politically convenient for them to do so. They committed to Trump and every one of his insane remarks at the RNC and they should be politically crucified just as much as Trump will be.

So? I know both "receipts" and "jump ship" but I'd never heard of mailing it in before either. Only "phoning it in". Does that bother you?
