The Republican Party as we knew it is over. They just haven't figured that out yet. It will split into two - the Bannon/Trump faction and the reasonable/moderate ones.
Anyone who's bailed out on him isn't coming back. Debate or no, they've already calculated he's ultimately going to lose and will treat him accordingly.
They can't really be this stupid, can they? Another story will break soon because of course it will. At that point they'll bail and every one of their opponents will have more ammo to hit them with come re-election time.
The Bone!
If I write in "The Bone" does it count as a vote for him?

I wonder if LA Times writers sit in traffic every morning and look around at all the cool chill progressive Californians slouched in their convertibles and are like, "God, we fucking suck."

I feel like we get hunker down for a few days until more polls come out. Democrats should be hammering their opponents right now with the force of ten thousand suns.

She probably tweeted before his twitter was created and out there.
She has "people?"
Their last poll was Clinton 42, Trump 47

I can't believe I've been watching Morning Joe all this time when I could have been listening to Keeping It 1600.
Heh this is such a mess .

That's basically the same thing as defecting though. If you're paralyzed, you're not on the trail in a meaningful sense. If they don't wash Trump's balls enough at their rallies, then they'll get booed right out of there. Being quiet on the fringes here and just focusing on your own race is the same thing as endorsing Clinton to Trump's base, and they represent most of the party now.
High. It's why I highly doubt anyone will come back to him that's already dropped out, and the people that didn't un-endorse probably have the press release ready to go when the next thing hits the fan.
To state it another way, you know full well that there's more shit out there. Going back to Trump would be a bet that the other shit doesn't come out in the next month. This is clearly a poor bet.
This is just a wild theory that i've thought up, but i was just wondering with all the talk of the GOP being paralysed and the Republican senators who're now bedwetting themselves over all this, i'm wondering if Clinton held back deliberately, so that when the next tape drop comes in, it'll take out more people than if she had walked all over Trump last night. Just a wild theory, but it makes you wonder....

I would like to ask MSNBC to replace Morning Joe with the BONE ZONE for the rest of the election if at all possible, thanks.
Do you really want to start the morning off with a hot cup of bone?

Just some random musing about the debates: I think people get too caught up in the idea of evaluating debates on "points" or how the pundits characterize it. What's more important is what each campaign needs to get out of the debate and how well they accomplished that. You could see this in responses to the VP debate that said that Kaine did poorly but the debate would end up helping the Clinton campaign. Sure, he may have lost on points, but that doesn't matter. The campaign accomplished their objective of damaging Trump. As far as I'm concerned, that makes Kaine's performance good.
Same thing here. I don't really care if the media says Trump "staunched the bleeding" or whatever. He needed to make up ground and instead catered entirely to his base. He's losing and this debate did nothing to change that. And I seriously doubt anyone is going to be swayed by some talking head saying Trump righted the ship. What's going to last from this debate is Trump saying he'd jail Hillary and doubling down on "locker room talk."

Better. Here's your real October Surprise if she gets Bone Zone.
Kellyanne was complaining about it this morning on CBS. Implying it wasn't fair because Claire McCaskill was allowed to sit in the VIP box and Mark Cuban got to sit where he wanted at the first debate.

McCaskill wasn't, she had to sit in the stands.
