Donald Trump's 2016 General Election Campaign

Right. This is far from the first time Trump has run a scam like this, and the Trump University fiasco was exactly as low and cheap and scummy as this nonsense.

Early this morning, the Donald posted this on Twitter:

So, er, what? Yes, that is factual, but what is he saying? He doesn’t say" I was wrong, I’m sorry, I misinterpreted". He seems to be acting like he is clearing up OUR confusion. Like he has been misquoted or something. Never mind all the detail he had in his speeches yesterday about watching pallets of cash being wheeled off, about the tape being provided by Iranian TV specifically to embarrass Obama.

I guess we just all misunderstood poor little Donald.

538’s Nowcast is at 91.5 to 8.5.

Still not good enough

Damn right. I want 115 to -15.

The day is young. :smiley:

Indeed not. I consider it bizarre that his numbers now are no lower than they were in late June.

I happened upon this tweet by chance, when I was searching for someone else with the same name, and I thought it was kind of funny given what we were talking about regarding turning off repeat donations:

Donald’s in trouble now, the USA Freedom Grownups have his number.

I like how it contains the inverse of a minced oath:

That is, they modified the pronunciation of the inoffensive word (“I-O-Us”) to make it rhyme with the offensive one (“douche”) instead of mangling the offensive word into something facially inoffensive but suggestive.

Oh, and a Republican consultant called Trump a “loud-mouthed dick” on CNN. This election is just a goldmine of linguistic niceties.

The funny thing is that the lack of being able to cancel could be a purposeful scam, or just plain incompetence, or arrogance in thinking no one would ever want to cancel payments, and any of those explanations would make sense from the Trump campaign.

I can’t express how much I’m enjoying this election year so far. Totally makes up for Bush-Kerry. What a snooze-fest that was.

I am enjoying as well, droll chuckles interspersed with chihuahua barks of sheer terror.

OK, how about 92.9% to 7.1%?

Getting there…

I want his Twitter feed to become half-assed factual takebacks until Election Day.

“The NFL sent me a letter asking if I wanted to buy box seats!”
“President Obama’s father wasn’t born in Hawaii!”
“John Miller is an alias used by John Barron!”

I’m actually feeling a bit irritated because there haven’t been any reports today of any new Trump f-ups. Come on, Donald, give me something new to laugh at.

i’m enjoying the spectacle as well… but only because it doesn’t look like he can actually WIN now. If the polls were reversed I would be in sack cloth gashing my face…

I’m not worried. He can’t control himself for long.
Or his staff has him bound and gagged.

Well, yes, he can. The LOW estimate is he’s got about a 20% chance.

That’s worse odds than Russian Roulette. The world isn’t safe from him yet.
