Yeah I thought it was a way of presidency were they were just released. but I guess they don't have too. He will never release his taxes.

Hillary just needs to keep slamming this home.

Typical Trump hot air, zero class, zero substance.
Talking about hitting speakers that ripped him, he can't deal with they tore him up with facts regarding all his shady business cons and repeating the insane quotes from his own yap.
Trump is the kind of tool that would say he is going to beat someone and then sue them for breaking his own hand on their head. He is amongst the worst of the worst a perfect example of a sociopath.

I think his feelings were hurt.

From that article:

Trump often uses the term "hit" to mean verbally attack, rather than physical contact.

This line is just thrown in there after Trump's quote, as if it's some basic fact of the world. Weird.

Trump's shady tactics when claiming taxes on his golf courses

I do not believe Trump can throw a punch. Michelle Obama would be a -600 favourite in any format.

Is there really any question about it?

Trump's the original roody poo candy ass.

To be fair, how do we know she's patriotic? I mean, just because she's dedicated her entire life to public service? Please. I'd take someone like trump, who wears a pin over hilary clinton every day on the patriot scale.

Do you think his kids and Manifort spent the last 4 days hiding his phone and changing the passwords on his Twitter account.

Also have to say without a doubt the most important speech from either convention came from Khizr Kahn. Can't think of a more devastating line than telling Trump "You've sacrificed nothing", which is even more damaging since of course Trump is a noted draft dodger. I thought Hillary did what she needed to, appeared to be the more mature one and the one who understands the tact necessary for the job. Got some good jabs in a Trump as well, and the bait quote was on point since predictably Trump took the bait and is being himself this morning. The real meltdown comes when the ratings come out.

It's so easy to bait Trump. He's like a teenage brat.

Reporter refused entry to a rally, not as a journalist (WP was banned by Trump a while back) but just as a guy standing in line to get in.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-frighten-you/

Jose DelReal is one of a small team of people who cover Donald Trump's presidential campaign for The Washington Post. On Wednesday, he was in Milwaukee to cover an appearance by Trump running mate Mike Pence. DelReal was barred from covering the event as a reporter, in keeping with Trump's six-week-old ban on The Washington Post. DelReal then tried to enter the event as a citizen. He was told he could not enter with a cell phone despite the fact that other people were not held to that same standard. He put his phone and computer in the car and again tried to enter. He was refused — again — and patted down. “I don’t want you here. You have to go,” the security official told him.

This election could be like watching a bloody accident in slow-motion. If Trump starts to fall in the polls, he's going to get desperate, if he gets desperate, he's going to turn up the crazy. a crazy and desperate Trump is angry, unpredictable, and unreasonable.

[GGG]

I would disagree that he attempted to enter as a citizen. At all times he was an employee of the WP and was going to report what happened. His expensese and time were being covered and he went back and wrote a story about it for the Washington post.

You can disagree with Trumps ban on WP reporters at his rally but it is blatent sensationalism to say Trump is banning citizens he doesn't like from his Rallies based on this case. At no point was this reporter ever not a on the record reporter.

Trump should have let him in as a citizen then if he still reported the next day then ban WP for good.

His hotel was being paid for, his car was being paid for, he was expected to turn in a story at the end. He can't just take his glasses off and say I'm not Clark Kent, I'm superman.

He was there to cover the story that didn't change when is credentials were put in the car.

[Makarov]

Isn't it more troubling that he is banned as a member of the press (rather than a civilian) anyway?
