I'm struggling to figure out what Trump's brain was trying to communicate. Is he implying she has a health issue which requires her to rest a lot that would be dangerous in the sense that she could die? Or is he trying to argue that resting is itself an attribute of dangerous people? I can't think of a fake rationalization to explain the comment. Good luck surrogates
Trump is breaking. This is the week he breaks. He's exhausted.
He is so envious of Clinton. He can't hide his jealousy anymore. Combine that with being forced to confront the reality that he is losing and he is about to go supernova.
Hold onto your butts folks.
Even ignoring how poorly his statement is worded, I'm laughing at how he's literally criticizing her for going to sleep. The desperation is real.

Michael is like, the most unlikable
Lucille? Yeah, horrible person, but she was raised by privilege - she doesn't know any better. Same with Lindsay and Lucille. Gob and Tobias are stupid, Buster is naive, Maebe has bad parents, George Michael is actually a likable kid (though they did a good job in S4 of making him more obnoxious without taking away the likability factor).
Michael is smart, handsome, and all around tries to do good - all the while unable to recognize his major flaws and thinks of himself as a paragon. He's a bit of a nag and he very often views his family (save for George Michael and to a lesser extent Maebe) as huge nuisances.
Ultimately though, Michael being a jerk is what makes him likable, just like how it is with the rest of the characters.
He can't. Hes down by like 8 pts.

Exactly, he just wants leverage.
Guilianni said they wanted to avoid the 2012 Crowley "controversy".
Gwen, Dickerson and Taper/Cooper. No way ABC gets a moderator in.

I think it would be great for Megyn to make a surprise appearance at the first debate.
"Baw GAWD, is that Megyn Kelly's music!?"
Then she tags out Gwen Ifill and gets to work.
There's no way the RNC lets Cooper within 100 miles of a debate, not with Trump as the nominee.

I mean, a big part of it is that it's a comedy so there's a lot of unrealistic personality elements that are played for laughs and (intentionally) disarm the more negative aspects of everyone's behavior. In the real world however, we wouldn't say that privilege is an excuse for behavior anymore than stupidity is. Obviously things play by different rules in a television show though (and for good reason).
I'm not saying Michael is a great example of someone we should strive to be, I'm just saying that his character and his flaws are more similar to my own than any other character on the show.

Sounds like he's trying to imply she's feeble and weak.
But it's Trump so who the fuck knows.

But if you try, sometimes, you get what you need.
Hmm? I'm not, that would just be to tilt Trump.
I don't know why he'd want to set that narrative. It'll just make it all the more impressive when she reads him up and down that debate stage.

I see. I get a little excited when I see her name. Yes, it would be great. Have all the debate settings been announced yet? I would like to see Fox do one.

RNC has no say, the CPD decides and the campaigns can throw a stink if they don't like it.

I think Trump is trying to get across that Hillary is just a political hack who shows up and phones it in but has no real passion for the work. I think.

I mean I can think of explanations where he's trying to insult her but nothing that fits the actual question/context of being "dangerous". Not that Trump cares about context or questions or things like that.
He made some comment this morning when she was the only candidate who didn't interview with some show that she, "Must have slept in." I think he's really trying to push the sick angle. Don't know what you're going to get with Dying Hillary.

All Trump said here in Orlando is "Barack Obama is the..." And people in the crowd are yelling "Founder!" Man.
Not good.

Didn't the rolling stones tell them to stop using this song?
Yeah. Before he has tried to characterize her as lazy for showing up at an event and then disappearing and not bombing the airwaves like he does. He probably was trying to do the same here then his brain had other narratives pop up simultaneously and he short circuited.
It was?

I can't deal with this election anymore. Trump is disgusting. He lies nonstop, he's promoting violence against the press, he says things that are incredibly misinformed just because he thinks it makes him sound strong. He's taken politics in this country back to the dark ages and I don't know if it's going to be the new normal or what.
I really need to disengage but feel like I also need to stay on top of it.

And ya'll is right about Arrested Development.
Good on you all for having taste that meets my high standards.

There needs to be a compilation of these after Hillary's coronation in January.
Good call. I expect adam will be posting Lucille gifs shortly
He was Just Asking Question(s) - and then we answered them by pointing to his own sourced article.
It greatly amuses me that I've watched Clinton Cash yet he hasn't. Sad! (For both of us)

An artist needs to turn them into 3 panel comics.
That is a brilliant idea. I'd buy a book of them to commemorate the wild ride.
