Haha excellent! I wasn't even thinking of the Simpsons or anything when saying that. I actually see a lot of comparisons between Trump and Mussolini than Hitler. However the Simpsons beat me a long time ago haha

Isn't he always bewildered? I'm trying to imagine what a lucid Trump would look like.
yeah. This is the episode where they go to Italy to pick up Mr.Burns car

Too soon.
I need a comeback until October so he cannot drop out.

To be honest they both seem to have that way of lip movement that tries to make oneself look confident while actually appearing like a scared, little boy hiding behind his lower lip as if it was a blanket.
2005, apparently.

Hahaha seriously! What the fuck is he even talking about? What changes were made?

I'd guess he read off teleprompters a few times and put Manafort "in charge"
Trump has low T.

This reads like he thinks his half-assed attempts at normalizing his behavior are the cause of his drop.
Which means he could ramp it up in desperation. Lovely.
I think they changed his twitter password and wouldn't tell him the new one for about four days.
I guess the speeches where he looks like he's filming a ransom video reading prepared statements are what they want him to do.

Awesome, I now know what a fancy word for "half-assed" is.

Not possible anymore. The deadline for various state ballots has passed, so a Trump replacement wouldn't even be able to get votes in like 10 states.

Here's hoping.
And cue cards. The problem is that this only works for about a day, and then he'd shoot off his mouth again. Trump is perhaps the first candidate for whom opposition research is pointless because he'll constantly one up himself with new material. The big problem for him is that he doesn't have any ability to reach groups that he didn't already get during the Republican primary, and that that kind of behavior is a major turn off for the general electorate.

Also choosing Pence as his running mate.
trump?
The irony here is amazing.
I was waiting for it.
They can still run Pence, but he's such a nonentity that it wouldn't accomplish anything. Hell, I had to look up his first name because I couldn't remember it.

I really don't see how this guy is going to last 86 more days until election day. I really thought the idea of him dropping out was a bit of wishful thinking but I now think if more and more Republicans come out against him he might end up dropping out and screwing the GOP over by saying that they didn't have his back.
I was waiting for it.
Many people are saying Trump's campaign is a massive failure. Sad.

I have no sympathy for the republican party. The dems handed you 2016 wrapped in a bow and you still figured a way to fucking blow it.
I expected the republicans to do some deep soul searching after 2012's ass kicking and really figure out a way to adapt their platform to modern sensibilities with fresh alternatives to the flaws they see in their opponents ideology.
I thought they'd finally start to engage with minority communities and embrace social changes and realize the futility in fighting them like babies.
And what do we get? Donald Fuckng Trump. And this "crazy" outsider who I thought at first might drag the republicans kicking and screaming to the middle just went full off the grid-writing a manifesto in the woods of Montana-crazy.
I can't put it on Trump alone. Sadly it's the culmination of years of pandering to bigots. Doing their best to stomp on rights except those valued by their mostly white base.
I don't want a de facto single party system. But republicans brought this mess on themselves. Congrats. Don't cry now. Enjoy it. It's everything you worked hard for. This is what your rugged individualism got ya.

Based on all the "silent majority" bullshit, it's clear that he thinks the majority of the country is exactly like the people who vote for him in the primary.

This revisionist history that Hillary is some terrible candidate that would have lost to anyone but Trump is tiring. Have people already forgotten the clown car full of candidates that made up the Republican primary?

And there's still three months to go.
By October, every thread title on the front page will be a Trump-related headline.

I need Trump to talk about No Man's Sky for the singularity to finally occur.

I don't know about everyone else, but I believe I'll look back on this election as the closest this country came to falling when I'm old and grey, if I make it. Truly the most important election in the history of this country, never before has someone so dangerous had such a chance at coming into power.
I was waiting for it.
He is so easy to bait it's ridiculous.
I was waiting for it.
The failing Donald Trump has become a complete work of fiction. His stories about anything always quote non-existent unnamed sources. Very dishonest!

It isn't revisionist history to say that the Trump campaign has proven itself to be consistently incapable of capitalizing on the unforced errors of the Clinton campaign because the head of the ticket has repeatedly created his own. Anyone with any political sense at all, whether it was Cruz, Bush, Rubio, or Kasich would have been able to torture her for months with the Comey presser, email leaks, or her continued assertions about her email practices that simply defy reality. The single biggest element of Trump's drop was the spat with the Khans, a fight that nobody else would have ever thought to engage in.
You're in denial if you think that this wouldn't be a much tighter race with a competent politician on the Republican side.

Of course it would be a much tighter race. I never said it wouldn't have been. But to say that this election would have been handed to Republicans wrapped in a bow if Trump wasn't the nominee is patently false.
There is a difference between Clinton can't win against anyone but Trump and the race would be a lot closer if the republicans didn't nominate a political moron.
