The cherry on top of this shit-cake is that this entire thing( debate debacle and complete meltdown) happenned AFTER Ted Cruz humilliantingly endorsed Trump.
Hopefully this whole mess end up being a two for one. Ending any high office apirations of both Cruz and Trump.

They have a buck-passing problem too.
Literally everything is someone else's fault
Eugenics is when you prevent people from reproducing through forced-steriliziation or murder.

How do they know how much Trump has raised...

Trump can't help but brag about using other people's money
He believes in positive eugenics
noun, ( used with a singular verb)
1.
the study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics)
Ted Cruz gave birth to the first known example of self-aware smugness. His downfall was already predetermined.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I think the charity license thing is going to blow up much bigger than people think.
By not getting the license, the state wasn't ever flagged to audit the charity. That way, nobody would know how much money was being funneled through, which reporters have been saying happened (businesses that owed Trump money were told to give it to the charity, probably to avoid taxes).
My guess is the New York officials go after this.

Would Republicans call for him to drop out at that point? If he obviously did something as slush fundy as this?

I cannot imagine the investigation would move fast enough to beat the election.
That sounds hot
I mean in combination with the Cuba scandal we have two possible illegal actions by Trump, would Republicans just abandon ship and focus on State and Senate at that point?

That moment when President Pence issues a pardon to Trump late at night on January 20 next year will be so awkward.

The people who fell in line recently have got to be feeling like shit right now. They thought it'd be different and that he'd be more professional, but like every deal with Trump, you need the receipts up front before you buy in.
I think his campaign goes through another shake-up in the next week or so (maybe after the second debate), and he'll just name Ivanka's husband as the manager and ride this thing out with family around him. Trump is incredibly paranoid, and after the terrible showing from his surrogates this week, I think he'll be fuming at them.
This probably only happens after the election. Once that's over, he'll be investigated for sure, and I highly doubt he comes out of it 100%. Could very well end up paying a shit ton of fines (if he's got the cash), or even some cushy jail time.

Yeah, stop the drip until next week. This week is all about Machado and the debate.
One is new others getting updates
Something tells me the rate at which these stories drop is going increase, not decrease. The man has decades of being human garbage to account for.

The press is being mean to me, very mean to me, and they can do that, they can, I have thick skin, I have very thick skin, people tell me all the time, they tell me, they tell me "it's amazing how you deal with these constant lying attacks, I couldn't do it," but I have thick skin, believe me, but the media is being mean to me and they continue to ignore that Hillary Clinton raped and killed a girl in 1990.

Yeah this is the tip of the iceberg. He called a pageant winner fat and he tried / did business in Cuba? Troubling for any candidate, but not post 1st-debate stuff if that's all you have. Wait 'till they drop the rape stuff and mobster stuff.

The biggest miscalculation to those who said the media would cover trump as a comeback story: they love train wrecks even more; especially if it's someone who's a dick to them
If Trump does elected, is he impeached? If so, how quickly?
My guess is yes and quickly.
I don't think it is a secret that Republicans far prefer Pence to Trump, and the reporting about the foundation and a likely investigation that probably will result in some illegal activity would give Republicans the cover (and duty) to impeach Trump.
They tarnish an embarrassment and get a guy they wanted in the White House. Their base might revolt, but where is their base going to go? Getting primaried is probably a real concern for those Republican politicians though.

this presupposes a giant media conspiracy of narrative (and not decades of improper schooling to be both-sides-do-it 'fair')
AND
if they love train wrecks, why not start earlier?

I feel like we hit the tip of the iceberg here and we're going to see some bad stuff next month.

These scandals aren't convincing my dad. He says Hillary has more scandals but we just aren't seeing them because liberal reporters and liberal state attorney generals won't investigate her. Despite the lack of evidence, he swears her unknown scandals are worse than Trumps literal scandals.
I never expected these scandals to sway his actual supporters.
What it can have an impact on are the undecideds and the people who are really lukewarm about both candidates and are leaning to one side or the other.

My mom was starting to consider switching from Constitution to Trump, but I think the debate (and my whispers) have got her back in #Darrel'sBarrel.

Republican leadership isn't going to beg Pelosi and Schumer to crossover to impeach Trump. It's not just about their base, the Speaker doesn't have absolute control over Republican congressmen. Is Ryan going to throw away his political career over it?

Tell him to get his ass out there and investigate her if he thinks he can do a better job.

I saw some info somewhere online that showed Darrell Castle doing better than Evan McMullin. I forget where, though...

I don't trust 'em lol.
I doubt Republican leadership would have to if there was a clear case for impeachment. But yea, I agree that the fear of being primaried could result in us not seeing it happen. Problem is, is that is a further tarnish of the Republican brand. If impeachable charges are filed against Trump by the NY AG there will be a huge clamor for impeachment. Not going along with that will hurt Republicans deeply because it will seem like they will be putting party over country.
Also, I really don't see this as a career ending move for Ryan either. He looks to be in a pretty safe district, both from primaries and general elections. Moreover, he can play the moral high ground, which would be good national cred. If he throws his hat in the ring for the presidency, he wasn't going to get a lot of support from Trumpkins anyways. His support will come from mainstream Republicans and evangelicals. Impeaching Trump isn't going to hurt him there. It might actually help him.

Cable news tonight is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Are they doing internet questions at the town hall?

I hope someone asks a vaping question at the Town Hall just to make this election perfect in its madness.
