Sean Hanity trying to defend trump...

My hope is Trump takes down his legacy, Fox News, Hanity, Breitbart and its ilk, and especially the GOP.

(Please clap.)

Did he tweet this inbetween calling a voter for Trump?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

How did they manage to lock Trump in a tower for the weekend? Did they cut his internet, too?

This is unusual, he doesn't usually retreat like this. He can't be self aware to know this was the nail in the coffin, right?

 

[gutterboy44]

I feel bad for the kid trying to Google how to correctly pick up his new kitten.

 

[Vestal]

Trump's brand is going to be so damaged after this.

Good.. FUCK that entire fucking family.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Trump's brand is going to be so damaged after this.

Donald Trump Jr. is set up well to run as a Nazi in the 2028 campaign.

 

[Dominican Power]

Lawrence O'Donnell going in.

 

[metalslimer]

I don't think he actually is going to show up to the debate

I gotta imagine his kids explained to him how bad this was. Otherwise he would have tweeted something and dug the hole deeper.

The world will be watching his feed at around 3am though.

Can any pollsters who were in the field yesterday and today bill Trump for their wasted effort?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I wonder about that guy that used to post in here who was having doubts about Trump, but kept trying to excuse his problems as not really being big enough deals to change his mind.

 

[Drakeon]

Democrats need to go for the throat. It's time to aim for the house and hope for depressed republican turnout.

 

[Piecake]

I present to you the dumbest man in the world:



Yes, Republicans will definitely respect Hillary if she gets the "mandate" of beating Mike Pence. Just like the Republicans respected Obama after Obama won a clear mandate in 2012 by soundly beating Mitt Romney.

http://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2016/10/6/13184492/flip-ticket-trump-pence-constitution

Why does Vox allow guest writers this stupid to write for their site?

Being a Yale Professor probably helps.

Convo probably went at Vox - Well, this is tremendously naive, but he is a Yale professor, so maybe he has a insightful point and we just arent seeing it? Fuck it, lets just post it.

Republicans I talk to tonight are sort of stunned. They knew Trump was dangerous for the party. They didn't know he was this dangerous.

GOP is so wrecked tonight

 

[Angry Grimace]

Sean "Bill also did it or worse" Hannity

Has anyone told him Bill isn't running for president yet

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Plinkoing rolls off the tongue okay.

Plinking I think is a bit better.. the O is out of place

 

[CygnusXS]

So, I'd assume that people in the campaign were unwilling to try to control him because they didn't want to get on his bad side in case he won. But, if it's obvious to everyone that he's done now, has he lost all power within the campaign?

 

[Slizeezyc]

So how many states is Gary Johnson gonna win y'all?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

They can lock him in his tower, but if they don't take a hammer to his phone, it's all for naught.

 

[Basileus777]

McConnell demanded an apology from Trump.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Utah Governor Gary Herbert: "Donald Trump's statements are beyond offensive & despicable. While I cannot vote for Hillary Clinton, I will not vote for Trump."

 

[johnsmith]

Al Franken, Mark Cuban, and James Carville. Bill Maher sure lucked out tonight.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Mitch McConnell totally disgusted and thinks Trump should apologize directly.

(That's it of course)

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So how many states is Gary Johnson gonna win y'all?

None. Republicans will just not show up out of shame.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Don Lemon looks pissed as fuck tbh.

 

[Nafai1123]

I'm so fucking happy tonight.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

McConnell demanded an apology from Trump.

Still endorsing him though? Sad!

 

[Officerrob]

There is no chance Trump has access to twitter right now

 

[BronzeWolf]

Anyone else starting to think that the whole 'don't campaign in August and let Trump catch up' strategy was planned out from the beginning? The GOP bound themselves inextricably to this sexist maniac throughout September as they saw the polling tighten. And now they're all going down.

I don't think so. They couldn't be so bold to try a new campaign strategy against da donald

 

[Holmes]

Even my husband, who doesn't like Hillary in the least, says that attacking Bill would help her.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

How do you even teach this election in schools? What an awkward time it must be to be a teacher and have to explain a situation like this to grade schoolers.

 

[Frank the Great]

Holy fuck. I was so busy at work I missed everything today. Everything.

This is campaign-ending, even for Trump. I wonder how long Clinton team was sitting on this (I know they didn't leak it this time but I'm sure they knew about it). I believe wonder what else they are sitting on.

Another takeaway is that the Republicans in the primary were fucking useless.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I hope Trump is psyching himself up to tweet about how much of a loser Paul Ryan is:

woot another vote for McMufFinn

"And this is how our great leader HillDawg ascended to power"

 

[chefbags]

From the OT thread.

It's so perfect I'm going to cry lol.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Utah could very well be off the map for Trump.

 

[Thequietone]

I wonder about that guy that used to post in here who was having doubts about Trump, but kept trying to excuse his problems as not really being big enough deals to change his mind.

Barack Lesner or QWERTY? QWERTY said this pushed him to Johnson earlier in this thread, and Barack Lesner posted in Off Topic yesterday or this morning before this broke and is still firmly on Trump's side. Even brought up the mic issues and how it affected the audience from cheering. Told him they weren't allowed to cheer anyways and people from the debate said they could hear him just fine.

 

[Basileus777]

Utah could very well be off the map for Trump.

No chance. Hillary will never win Utah and Gary Johnson is imploding. Trump only needs like 34% to win the state, he'll do it easily.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

"In 2012, Barack Obama comfortably won re-election over Mitt Romney. In 2020, Hillary Clinton was up for re-election against..."
"Mr. Garvey?"
"Yes?"
"Does that mean Hillary Clinton was elected in 2016?"
"..."
"How did that election go?"
"YOU DONE MESSED UP, A-A-RON!"

 

[Paskil]

Word is, Trump team is counting on Barron to fix all of this with the cyber.

 

[johnsmith]

Utah could very well be off the map for Trump.

Depends on how good the Miss Utah story is and whether she's willing to talk about it

 

[royalan]

This is the time for Dems to start pinning Trump on the Republican party.

Don't let them flee from this.

 

[whyamihere]

@GODNATE: This has a bit of an '06 feel to it. The GOP kinda seemed like it was going to dodge the wave in late Sept. Then Foley.

2016 GOP autopsy: unqualified nominee who said a lot of racist stuff worked better than you'd think, but sexual assault jokes sunk us.

[kess]

Amazing how the Grab Our Pussy party is hurtling into a political vacuum a month before the election. They're all so craven I don't know if they can salvage this in time.

 

[Owzers]

Mitch McConnell totally disgusted and thinks Trump should apologize directly.

(That's it of course)

That's gross, if you're okay with trump all this time you don't get to ask for apologies now.

I still say Trump wins the debate Sunday, this blows over and something else takes its place.

 

[Ondore]

Can any pollsters who were in the field yesterday and today bill Trump for their wasted effort?

Trump would just weasel out of it anyway.

And this is not a prediction of a wave, to be clear. Who knows what's going to happen! But the prelude feels similar

The entire GOP deserves to die. I just hope we get a second party again.
