Trump Campaign is total chaos this morning. Eric Trump said his dad called the Khans and apologized, but he didn't! And CNN called it out instantly

Legit if this was a plotline in Veep, it would be too unrealistic.
 
Obama doubling down on Trump and hanging the GOP is smart. They are riding Donald's inability to self control to set a positive feedback loop on his campaign-the more pressure on Trump , the worse he behaves, then even more pressure, etc..

The media is happy to play along because watching people self destruct on the public stage is their catnip.

The final Dem goal is to force Trump's campaign into a supercriticality event that annihilates his campaign and every Republican too close to the blast radius.

Eric tried to do a thing I do at work all the time. Lie first and then scramble to make the lie true. That's a hard thing to pull off when you are on camera though.

It's only Tuesday, you guys!!! We still have so much more Trump to come this week.

Sometimes I honestly wonder how he lasts these last 100 days. He doesn't have the endurance for this. Homeboy is weak.

I remember when they did this following that time Trump said he wanted Japan to have nukes (does anyone have a pic of that?). Good times.
 
The nonchalance with which Trump refers to obtaining a purple heart is indicative of his desire for the presidency. He wants one because he knows it has significance but doesn't understand that its significance is the culmination of experience that leads to obtaining it.

His whole damn life...

FFS, seriously? How did they think that was a good idea?
There is no "they". This is campaign haywire for everyone to see. No message discipline, no heirarchy, no communications staff, no nothing. Just a big orange mouth that utters insanity from time to time, and every surrogate just comes up with his/her own thing.

Exactly. Trump says or does something outrageous, and then Manafort and Pence and his surrogates each come up with their own competing "explanation" of what Trump really meant.
 
So in the last 5-10 hours Trump and his son have expressed ugly views on sexual assault, and Trump has made light of the Purple Heart. A day after having to deal with the Khan thing.

You've spent too much time in DC if that's your first thought when you see the word "escort".

Guilty as charged.

While I definitely disagree with the notion that the Democratic primary was "rigged", I think that's a bit more plausible than doing it on a national level.

The DNC putting their thumb on the scale for Hillary is something that can happen in the Primary but unless there is election fraud I don't see how it can be rigged in the general. Trying to conflate the primaries and general is misleading at best.
 
The dad blaming the son's language on "democratic schools" is good stuff.

"government schools" is what I usually hear, maybe they've changed their language or only because there's a Dem in the office.

I just wrote a commercial, y'all can produce it and edit it at your leisure:

[FADE IN, circus music]

-- Trump says awful thing

[SCREEN WIPE HALFWAY LEFT, record scratch]

-- Paul Ryan denounces awful thing

[pause Ryan]

[CONTINUE SPLIT SCREEN]

(repeat 4x total, alternating circus music and record scratches, trump talking then ryan repudiating)

[SCREEN WIPE LEFT, ONLY PAUL ON SCREEN]

-- "And that's why I'm endorsing Donald Trump for President of the United States"

(let that last note hang in the air with just a touch of echo and reverb)

[CUT TO BLACK]

[text appears]

-- "Which is it, Paul Ryan?"
 
The media will take great joy in tearing Trump down. It's just as good for ratings and he's been belittling journalistic integrity to a point where everyone outside the Murdoch empire is yearning for it.
