Donald Trump’s Fascinating Friday Freakout

Politics • Views: 48,649

Here’s another thread to discuss this fascinating Friday freakout, as we wait to see if the Trump campaign will actually release the apology video they’ve been promising, and that the GOP establishment is demanding. I’m very doubtful that he’ll be able to bring himself to issue a real apology, and I’ll be very surprised if he withdraws from the presidential campaign as some people are speculating.

This is one of the most amazing October surprises I’ve ever seen in all my years following politics. A meltdown par excellence.

this is un-freaking-believable. I mean, it’s just plain crazy. Earlier MSNBC had the hurricane in the corner and this news all night and all I could think is that yeah, they are related.

Jason Chaffetz withdrew his announcement. Hallie Jackson is now calling for Trump to step down.

This is getting very interesting.

I was going to do a page on an interesting convo I had earlier at the dentist with an elderly lady who was there with her Husband. Long story short, the tax stuff matters too. She was livid about what he got away with and said the tax code needs to be fixed and not so it benefits people like Trump.

re: #3 Charles Johnson

It’s too late for Trump to step down. Ballots have already been printed and some states are already allowing early voting.

It’s amazing that after 18 goddamn months of Trump being a bigoted asshole, this is what finally pushes the GOP over the edge. What the fuck.

LastYearsMan  Oct 7, 2016 • 9:01:17pm

I do wonder how much of this Trump garbage is just the normal process of journalists probing and digging up a candidate’s past. And how much the Hillary campaign and the Democrats had months ago and are now releasing in a controlled and strategic fashion.

The end result is happily the same, so I suppose it doesn’t matter that much. But it would be fascinating if the Dems knew most of this months ago and were just waiting.

Skip Intro  Oct 7, 2016 • 9:04:02pm

The thing about this is it’s not anything out of the ordinary for Trump. He’s like this every single day of his life. No wonder it caught him off guard.

I’m sure his first words today were “so what”? “What’s the big deal”?

Wikileaks and Politico desperately trying:

The most revealing Clinton campaign emails in WikiLeaks release

WikiLeaks released a trove of emails apparently hacked from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman email account, unleashing thousands of messages that reveal for the first time excerpts of Clinton’s paid speeches — including those delivered before Wall Street — that were flagged as problematic or potentially damaging.

The late-Friday release came almost immediately after a devastating tape emerged of Donald Trump in 2005 talking about how being “a star” entitled him to make aggressive sexual advances on women, fueling speculation that WikiLeaks is trying to tip the balance of the election.

re: #370 thedopefishlives

My worst private moment? Yeah, it’s pretty bad, and if I were running for President, I’d expect it to come out. In fact, I’d anticipate it by being up-front about it and having my wife beside me to support me. Bomb defused, motherfuckers.

My worst private moment is pretty banal: the fact I am an erotic Romance editor in my spare time. That was already known by my whole town when I ran for my village board.

In the event I was running for a major office, the very first thing I would do is hire oppo research on myself, in case I either missed something, or something could be spun in a way that would hurt.

Many states have laws in place that require the electors to vote for the candidate they were selected for.

So while the XII Amendment in theory allows an elector to vote for whomever he wants, the reality is that “faithless electors” can only occur in a couple states, and have only occurred a handful of times in history.

If electors tried to dump Mr. Trump, the complaints Mr. Trump made of “the election might be stolen” would be all too real for Trump’s supporters.

Unless Trump dies or withdraws, the GOP is stuck with Trump. In the event he won, they could try impeaching him, but why would they?

re: #107 Anymouse

Many states have laws in place that require the electors to vote for the candidate they were selected for.

So while the XII Amendment in theory allows an elector to vote for whomever he wants, the reality is that “faithless electors” can only occur in a couple states, and have only occurred a handful of times in history.

If electors tried to dump Mr. Trump, the complaints Mr. Trump made of “the election might be stolen” would be all too real for Trump’s supporters.

Unless Trump dies or withdraws, the GOP is stuck with Trump. In the event he won, they could try impeaching him, but why would they?

And I suspect some interesting challenges could be made around states trying to enforce those laws. It would be hilarious watching Republicans argue that the 12th amendment overrides the states.

In a lot of cases, the reason an elector doesn’t go against party wishes is it pretty much ends that persons political career. In this case, though, what if the party wanted it? And what if the Republicans in charge of those states didn’t enforce the law because they wanted someone other than Trump?

Pure speculation on my part anyway. Trump isn’t going to win.

Harry Reid:

This is a moment of truth for Republicans. It is time for every Republican elected official in this county to revoke their endorsements of Donald Trump and state that they will not vote for their party’s nominee, who has been caught on tape bragging about routinely sexually assaulting women. There is no way to defend the indefensible. In the name of decency, Republicans should admit that this deviant - this sociopath - cannot be president.

Let’s review.

My counterparts, Senator McConnell and Speaker Ryan, have endorsed a man who brags about sexually assaulting women. Many of my Republican colleagues have said they believe this man should be president. One even called him a role model.

What will it take for Republicans to walk away from Trump?

Bragging about sexually assaulting women is just his latest atrocity. He has called Mexican immigrants rapists. He has insulted our veterans and ridiculed the parents of a fallen soldier. He has called for discriminating against people based on their religion. He has cozied up to dictators like Putin and invited Russia to launch a cyberattack against America. He has encouraged violence at his rallies, especially against African Americans. He is clearly a racist. He questioned the judgment of a respected judge based purely on his Mexican heritage. He elevates those who traffic in White Nationalist rhetoric, and even hired a man with White Nationalist sympathies to run his campaign. He uses his charity to enrich himself and lies about his wealth. He is the first nominee in decades to refuse to release his tax returns, because he knows they will expose him as a fraud and reveal that he is not as rich as he says he is. He has a long history of discriminating against African Americans and still believes the Central Park Five are guilty even though another man confessed and was proven to be guilty by DNA evidence. He has repeatedly promoted anti-Semitic sentiment on social media.

What are Republicans waiting for?

What is it going to take for Republicans to discover even the barest modicum of decency and respect?

For the good of the country, I hope that my Republican colleagues do not try to circle the wagons around a man who brags about sexually assaulting women. Never in history has a party nominated someone more unfit to be president. There is still time for Republicans to acknowledge their mistake and salvage their dignity. They can do so by finally deciding to put the good of our country first.

Initially he stated that the presidential trail can change people and make you a different person. That is buying the excuse as a political move, not necessarily as a moral move. He then went on to say that he thought it won’t work and is probably in trouble. But he still acknowledged the video and that line about being changed as good politics.

This is to say that he is a rock-ribbed right-wing Republican who probably wouldn’t vote for Hillary if she were the last candidate in the nation. But from my talks with him and knowledge of him I feel fairly sure that this latest thing will mean that he can’t vote for Trump. So it’s a small win, a half-vote win, and I think there are a lot of other people like him in Texas. Nothing would please me more than to see that place go blue, even if by only a single half-vote.

Keep in mind that the ballots are NOT for Donald Trump, they are for electors to vote in the Electoral College. Changing the ballots after early voting has started will cost the new candidate a percentage point or two, but if the electors don’t change then they can probably vote for whoever the Republican nominee is.

Clinton: You mean like pretending to respect women in public and then talking in the most disgusting manner imaginable about them in private.

Trump: Listen, I call ‘em like I see ‘em, in private and in public. If I think a woman’s a pig, I call her a pig. Or a crook. Out loud. But by all means, if you want to start broadcasting our private sexual affairs, start by explaining to us all how you could demean yourself by continuing to live with a sexual predator, and even promise to make him your economics czar.

Remember, folks, this is the first big reveal, with 32 more days to go. I know we’ve all been impatient, but shooting your wad too early is always a bad idea.

I just gotta say, if this is all a carefully orchestrated campaign laid out by the Clinton campaign over the course of months, then that woman truly is evil incarnate…which is exactly why I want her in the White House.

This whole thing has been in the sewer under the freakin gutter for a long time. I go with the great quote from Edwin Edwards, that he couldn’t lose the election unless they caught him in bed with a dead girl or a live boy. It seems to me that either or even both of those possibilities could surface with Trump in the coming few weeks.

I’m anxious to read the upcoming installments that this kos writer has about the underage models at his modeling agency. She claims to have talked to a bunch of them, and it sounds like it is just awful. Will the broader media pay attention? Who knows—people at kos are sending it to Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone and Olbermann and others to try to stir some interest.

The thing is, Hillary gave the GOP the opportunity weeks ago to disavow support of Trump with her “alt-right” speech, then again with the “deplorables” remark. In both cases, she made certain to leave enough wiggle room that Republicans could argue that they didn’t fall into that group of people who approved of Trump’s remarks and actions.

But that opportunity has come and gone. At this point, you have no excuse. “I supported the nominee” is not a defense, it’s an indictment.

During the Democratic presidential primary, Hillary Clinton was criticized for refusing to release the transcripts of paid speeches she gave after she ended her term as Secretary of State. Now, just a month before the election, a transparency group has published what it says are excerpts of those speeches — and the remarks show Clinton appearing to reassure Wall Street with rhetoric that differed from the kind she voiced in more public forums.

Clinton promised on the campaign trail that she would oppose the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership, and that she “will stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages.” But in the email released by Wikileaks, she is shown telling a Brazilian bank that, “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.” She also is quoted saying: “We have to resist protectionism, other kinds of barriers to market access and to trade and I would like to see this get much more attention and be not just a policy for a year under president X or president Y but a consistent one.”

I doubt they’ll lose the House, but you’re right that their margin will be greatly reduced. And those who likely pay the price will be Republicans in purple districts, the people the party leadership can least afford to lose because that means they’ll be stuck relying more heavily on the “Freedom Caucus” nutters to get shit done.

Gerrymandering can be overcome, when a candidate at the top of the ticket tanks horribly.

The essence of gerrymandering is you concentrate your opponents voters into as few districts as possible, to give your own party a narrow margin of victory in those that are left.

That narrow margin can be overcome in each gerrymandered district if the opposition (Dems in this case) are motivated to vote and the friendlies (Republicans) are not, or vote for the opposite party.

Consider my own gerrymandered state (Nebraska). [yes, you can gerrymander three districts]. Omaha and inner suburbs are walled off as a single concentrated Democratic-Republican even district. (That’s why we got a Democratic representative from there in the last election, and an electoral vote went to President Obama in 2012.)

Lincoln’s district (second-largest city) includes much of the rural area, and the remaining rural area is one district. (A district map of Nebraska looks like concentric circles spreading west from Omaha.)

Omaha has a good chance of going Democratic again this year. Lincoln, reliably Republican due to the large rural area attached to it, is in trouble if large numbers of Republicans stay home. (That would yield two Democratic representatives.)

The remaining district (NE3) will go for Trump. If Clinton took significantly more votes in Lincoln and Omaha, that would overcome NE-3’s majority of voters (NE-3 has more voters than the other two districts each). Four electoral votes to Clinton, one to Trump.

In states that do not split electoral votes, they would all go to Clinton if significant numbers of Republicans stayed home or did not vote for President.

That said, there is always the fear-factor in conservative voting (guns, abortion, &c). Those might be enough to overcome the downsides of Mr. Trump.

That narrow margin can be overcome in each gerrymandered district if the opposition (Dems in this case) are motivated to vote and the friendlies (Republicans) are not, or vote for the opposite party.

Consider my own gerrymandered state (Nebraska). [yes, you can gerrymander three districts]. Omaha and inner suburbs are walled off as a single concentrated Democratic-Republican even district. (That’s why we got a Democratic representative from there in the last election, and an electoral vote went to President Obama in 2012.)

Lincoln’s district (second-largest city) includes much of the rural area, and the remaining rural area is one district. (A district map of Nebraska looks like concentric circles spreading west from Omaha.)

Omaha has a good chance of going Democratic again this year. Lincoln, reliably Republican due to the large rural area attached to it, is in trouble if large numbers of Republicans stay home. (That would yield two Democratic representatives.)

The remaining district (NE3) will go for Trump. If Clinton took significantly more votes in Lincoln and Omaha, that would overcome NE-3’s majority of voters (NE-3 has more voters than the other two districts each). Four electoral votes to Clinton, one to Trump.

In states that do not split electoral votes, they would all go to Clinton if significant numbers of Republicans stayed home or did not vote for President.

That said, there is always the fear-factor in conservative voting (guns, abortion, &c). Those might be enough to overcome the downsides of Mr. Trump.

An excellent explanation. Then there is a chance that because Trump is so utterly repellent, he exerts a serious demotivating factor on GOP voters and if the Democrats have a solid GOTV effort and ground game, then the GOP could indeed lose the House as well as the Senate (provided the GOP doesn’t rapidly counter to focus on the down ticket races in order to save their position).

If I’m reading Sam Wang’s chart correctly, the Democrats have to win by 6 points overall to get an evenly-divided house. So 53/47 to get 50/50. In 2014, Dems won 51.2/48.8 but the seats went ~54/46 the other way. It looks like the generic Congressional poll is within a point of that 6-point lead right now….

Hillary’s lead is up to 5.7 points in 538’s polls only model, and that is only going to increase after this story and Trump’s upcoming awful debate performance. By the end of next week she could be up by 8-9 points, making a House victory possible.

I don’t want to be accused of skewing the polls, but I can’t help but remember that in 2012, the average was over 3 points pessimistic for Obama, so if you add that to what we’re seeing now…. Not a prediction, but a possibility.

Apparently, Trump won’t be attending an upcoming political event in WI with Speaker Ryan:

House Speaker Paul Ryan asked Donald Trump not to attend a campaign event with him Saturday in his home state of Wisconsin, according to two people familiar with the discussions, following the disclosure Friday of a 2005 video where the Republican presidential candidate makes lewd comments about women.

Ryan and Trump did not speak personally on Friday, one of them said.

Ryan said in statement late Friday that Trump “is no longer attending” the event - a festival in Ryan’s Wisconsin congressional district.

“I am sickened by what I heard today,” Ryan said. “Women are to be championed and revered, not objectified. I hope Mr. Trump treats this situation with the seriousness it deserves and works to demonstrate to the country that he has greater respect for women than this clip suggests.”

In a short statement issued moments after Ryan’s, Trump said his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, “will be representing me” at the Wisconsin event while he remained in New York to prepare for Sunday’s town hall debate.

Pence, was “beside himself” and his wife was furious, a person familiar with their thinking told the Associated Press. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to share the private discussion.

Donald Trump Still Needs to See Copy of Central Park Five’s Long Form DNA (goes to Wonkette)

He insists the Central Park Five are guilty, when they are clearly not. He insists that stop and frisk is effective and constitutional, when it is not. He is for the death penalty (for a non-capital crime, no less), which is clearly a stupid thing to have when false convictions — like the Central Park Five case — happen all the time.

It is, of course, totally possible that Trump is simply stuck in 1989 and has not yet heard about Reyes’ confession and all the DNA evidence. If so, he will certainly be saddened to find out that Cheers has since been canceled and that Pluto is no longer an official planet. Perhaps he has simply become unstuck in time and is unaware of many new developments in general. Like the fact that women and black people can vote now! That would certainly explain some of the things he felt comfortable saying out loud and in front of people.

Either that or he is just a deeply stupid person.

Trump will remain the candidate tho’, unless he quits, which he probably won’t do because being called a quitter would gut him emotionally.

I still think he would love to find a way to withdraw, because although being called a quitter would be bad, being called a loser is unbearable for Trump.

Also, I think the townhall style ‘debate’ on Sunday could be ‘dramatic’. Not only has Trump not been practicing much, the chaos of this week is going to make him tired for Sunday, as you just know that he won’t have got much sleep last night.

I wonder if someone is going to release another thing that he needs to respond quickly to later today, to again make him have another night of bad sleep.

Having to think on his feet to respond to people’s questions is going to wear him out; in the only practice townhall he did, he left after 30 minutes…….staying and responding sensibly for 90 minutes is going to be a struggle.

And as always: as bad as Bill could have been, he’s not running.

It always comes down to that, and the fact that whatever Trump tries to say about Bill at best just comes off now as a pathetic deflection. Hillary on the other hand can easily say that, then extend the discussion down a myriad of legitimate policy / platform detours having to do with reproductive freedom, equal pay and maternity / parental leave. All of which offer her a chance to present stark differences and occupy the moral high ground while not having it come off as a flagrant dodge. Also, whenever she wants it there’s the omnipresent issue of temperament, which has repeatedly proven to get under Donald’s skin.

She can also use yesterday’s “apology” as a pivot to question him about when he changed his mind about Obama’s legitimacy, what actually made him change his mind and doesn’t he owe Obama an apology too. She can pivot to the Central Park 5, how they were totally exonerated by DNA evidence and how this very week Trump refused to admit he was wrong about them.

Assuming he even shows up she’s going to lure him into the minefield, watch him blow himself up, and then spend the rest of her time circling while clinically describing his wounds to the audience.

OK, Lizards, your opinions. I’m planning on acquiring a new timepiece. I’m trying to choose between an Invicta and a Hamilton.

The Invicta: timestore.cz

The Hamilton: timestore.cz

They’re both automatics. Pricewise, yes the Hamilton is twice as much, but it has a Swiss ETA movement, so that’s to be expected, whereas the Invicta uses a Citizen movement.

Pence has been predicted to be the GOP’s future just a few days ago.

Now, maybe not so much.

His name is going to end up badly tarnished by his association with Trump; by the time 2020 comes around, I’d say his chances are slim. He could, I suppose, drop out right now and say it’s the “morally right” thing to do, which would likely tear the Trump campaign apart and essentially ensure that Hillary gets elected next month - on the other hand, such a move by Pence would earn him the perpetual wrath of the Trump/Teahadi wing of the GOP, who would see him as the ‘traitor’ who got Hillary elected.

Her ticket faces a steep uphill battle for media attention, public recognition, and ultimately votes. Officially, the McMullin campaign’s strategy is to prevent both Clinton and Trump from reaching 270 electoral college votes, thereby throwing the election to the House of Representatives, which could then select McMullin.

George Allen, still an asshole:

Former Virginia Gov. and U.S. Sen. George Allen said he helped coach Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence for his debate against Democrat Tim Kaine, who debated Allen four years ago.

In an interview this week with radio host Rita Cosby of New York’s WABC, Allen said he met with Pence last month to tell him what to expect from Kaine, who beat Allen in a U.S. Senate race four years ago.

Shortly before Kaine’s selection as Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Allen praised Kaine as a skilled politician with a rare inclination for bipartisanship. But Allen panned Kaine’s performance in Tuesday night’s debate, saying he came across as “snippy” and “an ankle biter.”

I reckon she booked the flight and the cruise separately, and only paid for insurance on the cruise. That’s one drawback to DIY travel planning. Had she booked it all through a travel agent, or as a package with the cruise line, the flight cancellation could have been included.

his remaining support - these pretzel logic “explainers” are not just blindly voting for the “R”

this is *active*, voluntary defense of his behavior

trump is right. he could shoot someone and not lose any votes

because these people are too stupid and/or sychophantic to have any objective clue what he’d done

trump is a pig and there is an illness in anyone continuing to support him as a candidate and as a human

So I see the new version of “hiding in the office and avoiding the press” — not having “a media availability.”

In the old days, they’d say “the congressman has no comment at this time,” or “the congressman will issue a written statement available shortly.”

Monica and Gennifer had consensual affairs with Bill Clinton. That’s totally different than Trump talking about trying to sleep with a married woman and “grab her by the pussy.” As for Hillary harassing them, uh I believe that Monica is in fact supporting Hillary’s run for President.

Well, our old friend Wikipedia has this:

Three weeks after the alleged assault, Broaddrick participated in a small Clinton fundraiser at the home of a local dentist.[3] Broaddrick said she was “in denial,” and felt guilty, thinking that she had given Clinton the wrong idea by letting him into her room.[3] When she arrived at the event, she says, her friend who had picked the Clintons up from the airport told her that Hillary Clinton had asked if she would be at the event.[7] Broaddrick says Clinton did not speak to her at the event, but his wife Hillary approached her, took her hand, and said ‘I just want you to know how much Bill and I appreciate what you do for him.”[7] When Broaddrick moved her hand away, she says, Mrs. Clinton held on to her and said, “Do you understand? Everything that you do.”[7] Broaddrick says she felt nauseated and left the gathering. Broaddrick says she interpreted the incident as Mrs. Clinton thanking her for keeping quiet.[7]

And that eventually, through wingnut minds, ends up with Hillary killing former women of Bill’s.

I have never seen anything to prove, or even really suggest, that Hillary did anything other but what many wives with wandering husbands do - try to keep the whole thing quiet so as to not embarrass the family.

This rather common stance of Hillary’s - which is repeated probably 10,000 times per day across this country of failed marriages - is then morphed into Hillary having people killed.

Supposed to be windier and rainier this afternoon, but so far, my location has dodged anything bad.

So—how many times have the “news” networks re-run Trump’s infomercial this morning? I’m still steaming that they let him get away with a pre-recorded bullshit statement—I’m surprised he didn’t give it while walking through his DC hotel, to get maximum bang for his (non) bucks.

And his surname Sessions sounds like secession. I think what makes it work so well is that his first name is Jefferson like Jefferson Davis, Beauregard like General PGT Beauregard, Sessions for the reason I already said, and the III just adds a certain aristocratic element to it. The interesting thing though is I believe Sessions has a modest background. But yeah it’s best said with a Southern accent. Wouldn’t work in a New York, Boston, or Philly accent.

re: #351 goddamnedfrank

It always comes down to that, and the fact that whatever Trump tries to say about Bill at best just comes off now as a pathetic deflection. Hillary on the other hand can easily say that, then extend the discussion down a myriad of legitimate policy / platform detours having to do with reproductive freedom, equal pay and maternity / parental leave. All of which offer her a chance to present stark differences and occupy the moral high ground while not having it come off as a flagrant dodge. Also, whenever she wants it there’s the omnipresent issue of temperament, which has repeatedly proven to get under Donald’s skin.

She can also use yesterday’s “apology” as a pivot to question him about when he changed his mind about Obama’s legitimacy, what actually made him change his mind and doesn’t he owe Obama an apology too. She can pivot to the Central Park 5, how they were totally exonerated by DNA evidence and how this very week Trump refused to admit he was wrong about them.

Assuming he even shows up she’s going to lure him into the minefield, watch him blow himself up, and then spend the rest of her time circling while clinically describing his wounds to the audience.

Hillary has Trump checkmated, but he’s too stupid to know it. Only question now is how many Republican office holders he takes down with him.

Someday, when someone writes the book on how a major American political party made every wrong turn imaginable in the course of destroying itself, this is the campaign they will reference.

In 63 years on this planet and 50 years voting in presidentials, I’ve never seen amateurism like this. The 2016 GOP makes the Dukakis and Mondale campaigns look like the picture of efficient, organized campaigns.

And I’ve got a feeling that between now and Election Day, something even more insane than what came out yesterday is gonna fall on Prince Tiny Hands. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Clinton campaign has at least one of these revelations a week until then.

Like I said back during the conventions, Trump has no idea who he is up against, and exactly how far over his ugly head he is. He’s in the process of learning this.

“…With this legislation, which was introduced last week by Rep.

For example: If a 13-year-old girl is impregnated by a 24-year-old adult, she would no longer qualify to have Medicaid pay for an abortion.”

“I’d never withdraw. I’ve never withdrawn in my life,” Trump told the Washington Post in a phone call from his home in Trump Tower in New York. “No, I’m not quitting this race. I have tremendous support.”

“People are calling and saying, ‘Don’t even think about doing anything else but running,” Trump said when asked about GOP defections. “You have to see what’s going on. The real story is that people have no idea the support. I don’t know how that’s going to boil down but people have no idea the support.

“Running against her,” Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, makes keeping the party behind him easier, Trump added.

“It’s because she’s so bad. She’s so flawed as a candidate. Running against her, I can’t say it’d be the same if I ran against someone else, but running against her makes it a lot easier, that’s for sure.”

Merkel’s government bit of more than they could chew. I think they made a mistake in not putting an upper limit on refugees, especially in terms of an upper percentage share of refugees that the EU took in. Other countries just laughed and let Germany take the bulk of the burden, and their government’s good deeds are now being punished.

Do you hear that sound Mr. Trump.

Goodbye Mr. Trump.

Alternatively, that’s your career and fortune light flashing in the red.

Trump’s toast, and he’s the last to realize it. Some in the GOP know it, but they’re all tied to him. They enabled him. They peddled his worldview, just in a slightly more subtle manner. They didn’t bail over his racism.

They didn’t bail on the xenophobia.
They didn’t bail on the anti Semitism.

Those all affect only a small portion of the electorate.

Trump’s comments about sexually assaulting women? That hits 50% of the electorate.

That’s why they’re all in damage control mode. The rest of it was small potatoes. This threatens every last down ticket race.

As it should of course, but the entirety of Trump’s statements and utterances hang on the entire GOP. Anyone, from Pence to Cruz to Rubio, deserve to go down for this. Rudy, Newt, and all the other righteous extremists who claim GOP is the party of family values (yeah, Tony Perkins, you too) deserve this.

I don’t know if you could throw hundreds of GOP office-holders and party leaders in the pokey, but I certainly agree that if the Democrats can regain control of Congress, there definitely needs to be a comprehensive investigation into Russian attempts to influence this election and whether or not there was any GOP collusion in such efforts.

It’s worth noting that to a very great extent, the GOP hobbled its own chances to get rid of Trump, back in 2012. They thought the long primary season, with 10 different flavors of Not Romney was damaging, so they came up with a delegate allocation scheme which would favor a frontrunner, allowing him to build up an insurmountable lead in delegates early on.

As has been pointed out, the proportional allotment of delegates that the Dems use, plus superdelegates, would have allowed the GOP to stop Trump, if they’d wanted to.

I doubt that even a 2-house Dem majority would do this - it would smack too heavily of the HUAC. I’d rather see them focus their new majority on correcting fucked-up policy than exacting retribution.

Of course it’s irrational. We all know it. These people are just so narrowly focused on their hot-button issues that they literally don’t care about anything else. Fuck America - as long as I get my guns and you get your abortions taken away, I’m happy. That’s their mindset.

re: #701 Robert O.

I am still trying to digest how this will play out. Part of me thinks (and hopes) this was the ‘October Surprise’ that would deal the knockout blow to Trump’s campaign the same manner that the 47% video permanently knocked out Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2012. On the other hand, I must acknowledge this is a very unusual election. Those who are appalled by Trump’s comments were never voting for him anyway, while for those who are true Trump worshippers, there is nothing he can do that would make them vote for anyone else (Trump is probably correct that he could shoot someone in downtown Manhattan and he won’t lose too many votes).

The thing is, as is being played out last night and today, the GOP is made up of 3 camps, WRT Trump.

First there are those of whom it is literally true that he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and not lose their support. They either hate Hillary SO MUCH, or love Trump’s message of white nationalism SO MUCH that they wouldn’t abandon him, even if he went Full Caligula on live TV. These folks LOVED his attacks on Curiel, the Khans, and Machado, and are currently defending this outrage.

Then there are those who don’t really like Trump, but they fear Clinton so much that they endorsed/supported Trump once it was clear he was the nominee. They winced through the Curiel, Khan, and Machado meltdowns, toyed with the idea of dumping him each time HRC was up by 6 or more, but in the end stuck by him. They put themselves to sleep each night with a mantra of ‘Supreme Court, Supreme Court, Supreme Court’.

And finally, there are the NeverTrumps, who are the only ones with clear consciences this beautiful morning. Today many of the second category are joining the first.

This is damaging in a way that the 47% remark wasn’t. That was pretty much exactly what the GOP thinks. This is bragging about the ability to sexually assault women with impunity. Even for the Patriarchal GOP, that’s not part of their core beliefs. They can’t defend it. The most they can do is say, “He apologized, and let’s move on”.

Someday, when someone writes the book on how a major American political party made every wrong turn imaginable in the course of destroying itself, this is the campaign they will reference.

In 63 years on this planet and 50 years voting in presidentials, I’ve never seen amateurism like this. The 2016 GOP makes the Dukakis and Mondale campaigns look like the picture of efficient, organized campaigns.

And I’ve got a feeling that between now and Election Day, something even more insane than what came out yesterday is gonna fall on Prince Tiny Hands. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Clinton campaign has at least one of these revelations a week until then.

Like I said back during the conventions, Trump has no idea who he is up against, and exactly how far over his ugly head he is. He’s in the process of learning this.

Its a bullfight. Hillary waves a red cape in his face, deftly sidesteps Trump’s charge, and plunges a knife in his back, over and over again.

Over on HRC’s side, she can’t shake Bill any more than Obama could shake birthers out of the media. In both cases burdened with undeserved weight. More examples could follow.

I just checked the Trump for President website and I noticed that Pence’s schedule seems to have been removed. It now says “Please check back later for an updated schedule” when you look under the ‘Governor Mike Pence Events’ heading.

That’s odd. Isn’t it?

If Pence is part of a coup to remove Trump from the ticket, and the GOP thinks this will solve their problems, they are kidding themselves. The base will go nuts, and the fallout will be devastating. Of course, keeping Trump at the top of the ticket is just as bad, so they are screwed either way.

If there were a successful putsch by the GOP leadership of Trump (replacing him with Pence), it goes without saying the base would simply stay home come Election Day to “teach the GOP a lesson”, that lesson being one of the most catastrophic drubbings in modern American electoral history.

They MIGHT try having Trump drop out (but HE has to do it, they can’t replace him), and tell America that they’re really voting for Pence, but that’s not true. And I can’t imagine it would go that well for Pence, since it would be easy to tar him with Trump AND point out that he wasn’t even second choice for the Presidential nomination, that NOBODY voted for him for top of the ticket.

But I don’t see Trump dropping out at this point. He’s resisted all calls to moderate, pointing to the support he has from his diehard fans. I think he just gets crazier.

And tomorrow night, going into a Town Hall debate - the LEAST FRIENDLY forum for attacking your opponent - he’ll be angry, and frustrated, and really, really wanting to hit somebody.

If they go that route, the word would have to get out before election day. If they tried to make that move after election day, it would be the “civil war” that so many of Trump’s supporters have been itching for.

Idle thoughts:

In 1928, four score and eight years ago, Texas voted for a Republican, which happened for the first time since before the War of Yankee Aggression Against the Southern Aristocracy and would not happen again until Ronald Reagan.

What did the trick in voting for Herbert Hoover over Al Smith?

Smith was a vile New York Catholic!!

Yes, a papist, a mackerel snapper!

They just couldn’t do it.

Is it possible we will see this happen again this year? This, in a state where the last time a Democrat was elected to a State-wide office, including the Judiciary was 1994?

I’ve always said the outcome of this race would hinge on How It Plays in Plano, those comfortable suburban strongholds of well-to-do Republican women.
