We have to go lower. It's Trumpception.
I know y'all don't like South Park, but not even James Cameron can raise Trump's bar anymore.
The Dems said DIRECTLY that he was weak and easily baited, set up the bait, and the fool bit it. He can't help himself.

People have been visiting and paying their respects to Cpt. Khan's gave.
Trump is a piece of shit. I thought I got pleasure in watching Romney go down.

Ryan won't lose because Wisconsin dislikes Trump, but let's say Ryan gets primaried, who becomes the next Speaker?

Widespread voter fraud?
Oh, no, please. Don't let statistics get in the way of thinking your talking rotting pumpkin is going to lose due to fraud.

It can go lower. Imagine what Trump's concession speech will be like.
I am taking perverse pleasure in the fact that this year, when The Southern Strategy finally bites them in the ass, the beneficiary is Hillary Clinton. The GOP's monster will ensure the election of the one they hate above all others.

Trump is still getting 80%+ support from Republicans and the Wisconsin primary is next. That was a not so subtle threat to support the other guy unless Ryan gives Trump more cover on the Khan story.

But.. We have to be getting closer to the bottom of the depths
We can't go any deeper..
He's a LITERAL sociopath.
Like, anyone who's ever had trouble with what the word really meant, you can just give them Trump as an example and they'll get it. Hell, I bet the name Trump will be colloquial for what a sociopath is.
I'm at a loss as to how much farther Trump can go down the rabbit hole, but holy hell, he keeps surprising me. That is TERRIBLE.
It's odd how we literally have to choose between bad things Trump has said and extremely bad things Trump has said to show his awfulness. Bed of nails analogy indeed.

It's odd, really. The idea of someone super progressive isn't negative in itself, but the adoration and pure fangirl/boyism is a bit much. I know some of us here on PoliGAF fawn over QUEEN YAAAS PANT SUITS YAAS, but at least we know when to criticize Hillary as well as accept valid criticisms from people.
A lot of these neophyte Bernie/Nina/Jill supporters just get super butthurt when you challenge their political revolution.

He ain't gonna concede anything.
He's going to send Pence out there to read a statement.
Interesting article on Manafort in the NYT
Especially this part:
He may still be getting paid!

Oh it will be something. Romney lost his shit on election night, with that late speech (after Obama IIRC) and million or so he spent on never used fireworks. I think Trump will threaten legal action and try to draw it out.
Calling it a concession speech implies he would concede during it. I'm sure what you mean is that he won't do so...which is worrying as hell, but the concession has no power of law. If he loses, he loses. And concede or no, it might be messy if this conspiracy nonsense keeps being bandied about.

Nothing will happen after Trump loses because the "something" already happened nearly 8 years ago. The "something" was the republican base becoming completely unhinged after the 08 election. Fringe groups and movements tend to look for mainstream (or celebrity) validation in order to "prove" their legitimacy, and the far right received that in 2010. It's been a shit show since then.
So a Trump loss will simply continue the madness we've been hostage to; the only hope is that Trump takes down the senate and house with him. If not the House will continue to be held hostage by extremists in safe districts, and GOP gains in 2018 will bolster the obstruction by once again convincing establishment republicans that this is a blueprint to a White House victory.
I agree that Trump won't concede. The establishment GOP will slam him and accept Hillary's victory. But the GOP base won't. Just as they still don't accept Obama's victory.

I don't think there will be a concession speech. I believe he will threaten to sue and the Republican leaders will beg and plead for him to stop. I'm afraid it will be a terrible few months.

This Trump speech is so random that I can't even stay raged to listen to it.
Oh, wait! He's randomly lying about TV ratings. Phew. He just called Hillary "the devil" in full context? Neat.

Trump is the horrible racist gift that keeps on giving.
This, however, is awesome.
Yeah, people are joking, but this is actually serious. Conceding an election is important. Deliberately laying the groundwork to delegitimize your loss is really dangerous.
Trump of course has no regard for the Norma and decency of democracy. I don't think people appreciate the damage he is capable of doing, and to some extent has already done, just by running a losing.
Best case as scenario is the GOP enthusiastically embraces the L (they'll be thrilled to be rid of him regardless) and the conspiracy theory only operates at a, say, truther level.
But Trump has no problem inciting political violence. This is not good.
It's funny because capital is fleeing China so quickly on top of losing large percentages of their work force to automation. Yet one of the main assertions of the Trump campaign is he will bring manufacturing jobs back.
I realize it's just one problem in a campaign littered with problems, but the willful disconnect with reality in order to trick voters consistently irks me.
Context: Trump currently talking about manufacturing jobs and NAFTA in his rally. Of course, in the process of writing this post he has skipped around 10+ topics, manufacturing, teleprompters, Crooked Hillary, NATO, Putin, Crooked Hillary, on and on.

It looks like maybe we need to watch it with the Trump insults.
RIP.
I think Trump's latest comment on Khan is actually worse. It actually ascribes a sinister or self-interested motive to Khan's comments. I was afraid he was going to say, "I want to make sure men like Mr. Khan never have to sacrifice their sons again." Instead he says, "Khan is just bitter because I want to ban Muslins." W T F is wrong with him. His new quote is the worst he's yet said.
Manafort, are you doing your job or are you just hoping no one notices you are slipping out the back door?

Went to cnn.com to see if I've missed anything today.

I wonder how far you can go with this before being banned.
I would not be upset if Trump died.
I would open up a bottle of champagne if Trump died.
