Yeah.. Trump just said he won't let the Clinton campaign distract from the issues.

Apparently everyone but Trump is a liar or crooked or corrupt or all three at the same time. And he is ahead nationally according to the best poll, Rasmussen.

Weird that the Rasmussen poll had Clinton way up as recently as Monday (she was at +7), and now all of a sudden Trump is up +2?? WTF?

Now he has taken the popular stand of picking on NFL players for not playing through concussions.

Maybe he is really trying to lose. That is seeming more and more the most likely explanation. Although I can't believe a guy who is all about winning would actually try to lose.

Lou Dobbs just tweeted the home address and phone number of one of the Trump accusers.

I'm actually watching this Trump rally.

There's no way there's not going to be violence after this election. He's basically got 3 weeks to whip his supporters into a frenzy. Keeps saying that this "is a moment of reckoning".

Lou Dobbs was always a POS.

Remember the Trump cultists literally believe the future of the entire white race depends on him winning the election. Of course there's going to be violence when he loses, he's convinced his cultists they face an existential threat. In a just world he'd be held accountable for inciting this kind of hatred and violence. Instead he'll get to create a new media empire.

And that was also easily the most anti-Semitic speech he's given so far. Bannon is unquestionably running the show right now, giving even more reason for Kellyanne to bail from the sinking ship.

Lol, Trump defends himself from accusations of objectifying women by objectifying women.

He didn't assault a People magazine reporter because "look at her".

Yea, his words at these rallies lately are very dangerous, especially considering his insane, idiotic supporters. I sincerely hope they beef up security at polling stations on Nov 8th, because this is gonna get ugly.

It's the quotation marks around 'they' that has become code for Jews throughout the fetid fecal reeking back reaches of the Internet, I had a post at the Guardian taken down because I wasn't aware of this but it's something site mods have to be aware of now.
I wonder how the fundys will rationalize this as they have become overwhelmingly pro Jewish.

Trump campaign says the whole interview was fabricated.

Great read and a perfectly summed up reason on my I supported (and kind of 1% still do) the Donald Trump candidacy.

The delusion doesn't fall far from the tree

"There's sort of the reality of the situation and then there's how the media portrays it again. So I mean, listen I know plenty of people," Trump Jr. said. "I've had conversations like that with plenty of people where people use language off color. They're talking, two guys, amongst themselves. I've seen it time and time again. I think it makes him a human. I think it makes him a normal person not a political robot. He hasn't spent his whole life waiting for this moment to run for the presidency."

"I think most American people just say, you know what, I've probably said those kind of things myself," he added. "So, we're not happy that he said, that's for sure, I get that but I think it means that he's a human being that he's a regular person like everyone else. I think that's what endeared him to the American public."

Ahahaha yeah that's pretty "normal" and "regular".

[Drak]

Endeared him to the deplorable portion of the public, that is.
