Last I saw her, she was saying (paraphrased) that “no one can get inside Trump’s head,” shortly before the first debate, where Hillary proceeded to get thoroughly into Trump’s head. If Pierson subsequently went on the news, blaming Obama for the Machado tweets, I haven’t seen it, but nor would it surprise me.
I prefer to follow Pat Robertson’s cue on hurricane behavior, and believe that God is punishing the Republicans for their sex lives.
You mean aside from doing a post-debate interview with Megyn Kelly last night?
Pence is denying he is leaving even more than Joe Paterno did during the Sandusky week.
I don’t watch Fox News. I guess they’re putting her where she can make up anything she wants and not get called on it.
Hillary opens up double digit lead! Awesome stuff. Let’s hope the other polls follow suit and the GOP can officially pull the plug on this clusterfuck.
I can’t remember her name. Not his campaign manager. Hold on, let me google “scary blond lady with crazy eyes who fluffs Trump on CNN”.
Ah, here we go: Scottie Nell Hughes … the one on the left. You don’t want to look into those eyes for too long.
Boom!
The GOP Civil War has officially begun with broadside rounds between Ryan and Trump.
CLINTON HACKED EMAIL SHOCKER:
Harvey Weinstein wrote her an unsolicited, and crude, email suggesting she use Sandy Hook shootings against Bernie.
Clinton, just barely I’m sure, did not follow this sage advice.
(In case y’all are wondering what the Trumpeteers are shouting about this lunch break.)
The choice of words is interesting. Ryan is basically saying that he can no longer defend the indefensible, and moreover, apparently acknowledges that the only real race any more is at the Congressional level:
“He will spend his entire energy making sure that Hillary Clinton does not get a blank check with a Democrat-controlled Congress,” said the person on the call — an implied acknowledgment that Donald Trump no longer appears able to capture the White House.
Meanwhile the only reason Pence is still on board is that his calculus is different from that of Ryan and the other defecting Republicans – there is little downside for Pence in staying on, and potential political gains and maybe Palinesque mercenary exploitation in his future. The choice of words here was interesting too – Pence described how “honored” he was at being nominated to the VP position by the Republican Party. And that was no coincidence; as the Washington Post said,
Sometimes it feels like Pence and Trump have been running parallel campaigns. But up until this weekend, neither candidate had acknowledged just how much they disagree. Now, the gloves are off.
Perhaps the next thing we’ll be hearing from Pence is “Donald who?”

I was just home for lunch and checked the news. Pence was giving a speech about what an honorable man Trump is and how last night he proved it by admitting he was wrong and apologizing to the American public. :smack: (No links yet that I could find.)
Looking at those poll numbers, I can already hear the Trumpanzees saying that he would have won if that Johnson fellow hadn’t been in the race.
Sorry guys, this time the crazy is the Republican candidate, not the third party candidate.
Frankly, if that’s how Mrs. Clinton comports herself when “rattled”, I’m impressed with her composure.
Given the scarcity of options, that was about as good a choice as he had. And if absolutely, positively nothing else emerges, it might even work! If.
That, and he knows that saying any of that would alienate his core followers. They are into the macho refusal to admit to any error; they can’t tolerate the concept of asking for anything (it should all be theirs for the taking!)
If Trump were to humble himself by saying he wants forgiveness so that he can better serve the nation, he would earn their utter and complete contempt. The deplorables would find that to be an inexcusable violation of machismo.
And Trump, friendless sad-toddler that he is, cannot live without their adulation. Nothing on earth would convince him that he’d be better off with the approval of a wider swath of voters, because acquiring the approval of the wider electorate would mean giving up the worship of those who’ve anointed him the Alpha Male in Chief.
(The sad irony in all this is that the posturing that makes Trump appealing to the deplorables, makes him ridiculous and comical to the rest of us. To thinking people, Trump is the furthest thing possible from being “a man.” He’s a pitiful arrested-development case.)
Maybe not so much the “alpha male” as the “alpha lemming”. The one who screams “Follow ME!” as he flings himself off the cliff. 'Course, almost always is a male, because we’re kinda stupid.
Trump deliberately bursts into dressing rooms of naked beauty contestants…because he can
You hear that, ladies? Elect President Trump and we’ll be subjected to him walking into our bathrooms since he believes his power grants him this privilege. And who are we tell him to get out? He’s a star, right?
Sheeit. The Republicans made a yuuuge deal about transgendered folks potentially doing what Trump has repeatedly bragged about doing. I know the irony is hilarious, but the hypocrisy of it all is mind-blowingly disgusting.
Now, now. Let’s not let Disney-faked footage lead us into shaky generalizations.
But the fact remains that Trump won’t do anything to annoy his fans because he’s so emotionally needy. He can’t imagine life without them, and he’ll give up his sadly-real chance at the Presidency in order to keep them happy. (Which must be giving his kids fits.)
That the fans are there for the bizarre gender-role pretensions he’s acting out–I am the KING! I do as I PLEASE! I’m NEVER wrong! To the MOON, Alice!–is almost irrelevant. Not completely (because power-hierarchy stuff is pretty central to the human psyche)…but almost.
I think we all owe Donald Trump a debt of gratitude. Just think. No longer will the Right subject us to lectures about “character” ever again. It turns out it doesn’t really matter after all.
