Not too surprising. Obama probably needs to go do this.

I'm going to go out on a limb and hope this just means the kids won't get in trouble, but not the sick fucks who attempt to rape them?

Trump literally just hired a white nationalist as his campaign manager.
This is why there are so many scam SuperPACs on the Republican side, these guys are the easiest marks.

Nah, give it a week. If he's still on message by next Friday then you all can diablos.
At least then you all will be prepared for when the polls tighten to Clinton +3-4.

Trump manages not to spew disgusting garbage for one hour and the media treats it like it's some amazing display of human achievement. It was, at best, the same kind of half-hearted non-apology that a high-profile athlete or celebrity gives after getting caught in some whatever scandal they initially denied.
I mean seriously, he's got a line in there about Hillary treating the black community as just votes instead of people and then he immediately turns around and says black community please give me your vote and I promise everything will be amazing in return.

NeoGAF sure hates Amber Heard because....?
The question is will people fall for it or see this for what it really is, the desperate attempts of a pathological liar who is losing. If things remain the same then orange turd is done for good. I guess the positive side of this is that it gives Clinton's team time to react and prepare for what lies ahead.

Just leave it in the hands of someone else. Cut the ties.
I don't want people that this foundation helps be punished
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American public. If he keeps this shit up and brings it into the debates who knows what will happen.
Democrats are getting way too complacent even if he is an orange turd.
Do they think Americans know who Merkel is ?

Reacting to Trumpers like
Failed candidates always pull those stunts and they are always seen as such by the public. I remember McCain wanting to cancel the debates because of the stock market crash in 08.
Candidates in disaster zones are always a nuisance and a transparent attempt of trying to take advantage of a situation. If Hillary and Tim would've gone done there, Republicans would probably accuse them of the same thing.
Reacting to Trumpers like
I forgot how much I liked Quinn after the mayoral race, I hope she gives it another shot in the future.
But Trump hasn't said anything stupid all week, and now Hillary's numbers are slipping! You can't explain that!

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I don't get people sometimes, after hiring the fucking leader of Breitbart, Trump has obviously given up and/or wants to do things his way no matter the result.

3 days ago the race was over, now it's not over.
Why are you all so manic? I don't understand that.

I don't expect the race to change I'm just mad that the media is treating it that way and giving Trump all this praise for not vomiting over everyone and just drooling on himself.
I don't know, were Dems too certain in 2004 Bush was a goner? Was 2004 the Dem version of 2012 and that's why Kerry lost?
So, in my opinion the problem for Trump is that being humble Trump at rallies is not enough now. Saying disgusting things gets a lot of coverage. Not saying disgusting things is not as newsworthy or memorable, unless one does that while millions of people are watching, as during a convention or debate. He may gain a bit just from tuned in voters who were wavering or demoralized. But to make this message stick and begin chipping away at the polls, he has to maintain this same posture for weeks, and he's shown no ability to do that, and rallies aren't enough!

Yes, soliciting sex from children is still a crime but children cannot be charged for anything now.
Yeah. I've seen "i'm skeptical trump can pivot but this time it may happen, this has been the longest lasting change yet!" It's literally been three days.
Plus...
Historically trump has not liked it when others are perceived to be controlling him.
I think the media is just setting up for the next big fuck up
He might with this new team, which is telling him to be himself but just more focused. That doesn't hurt Trump's ego that much, unlike Manafort telling him to change who he is. Today, he seemed a lot more willing to admit his mistakes with his new team, but of course, he's still Trump.
This isn't the first time that there's been signs of a potential pivot or a real change, managing to stay on message for a day or two.
In any case, the Clinton campaign seems to be waiting for the polls to narrow a bit in order to really launch a more offensive campaign, not wanting to fire the big guns before its necessary. They'll wait to see how much damage Trump does to himself before going on the attack and working on Hillary's favorability (because it is a problem).
Right now, they have been remarkably low key during the Trump meltdown, aside from some light attacks from Biden and HIllary towards him.
You're implying suicidal?

Lol, for real.
Why take attention away from the guy dousing himself in gasoline and lighting himself on fire?

Can anyone think of one non-poll related positive headline for Clinton since the DNC?

Less my fault, more due to me having a serve anxiety disorder. While mentally/rationally I know I shouldn't be freaking out.....my body and parts of my mind disagree.

There is nothing to be concerned about she isn't in the spotlight on purpose, but her campaign is still doing what the things they think need to do.

That's bait.
Not a major national headling, but alot of local papers in cities where clinton has held rallies. I live in NC and their rallies in NC have made local news often
Clinton has quietly been working in the swing states and convincing people, like a competent campaign should do, especially when their opponent is self-immolating.
