[JohnT]

So…

Has he pivoted yet?

“By Gad, Mr. Trump, you are a character. There’s never any telling what you’ll say or do next, except that it’s bound to be something astonishing.”

Oh Lordy, if Gutman ever needed to meet and deal with Trump, he would have Wilmer shoot him within the first few hours. Maybe 15 minutes.

Machado might flip Texas. Might.

More probably will help deliver Florida and Nevada. Small changes there make for outsized impacts.

Sounds like there’s a story with unnamed sources that has trump frothing. He mentioned it twice this morning that “sources” = “made up.”

I just tweeted him:

“#DonTheCon, what about staff tweets made in your name? Can we quote those?”

I eagerly await his response.

Now, Universe, I know I haven’t been a very good pantheist. But if you could just give me this one cataclysmic, Earth-shattering miracle…

As opposed to all those “people have said” sources Donald likes to quote.

I’m just saying, people have said that. That’s what I heard.

I heard the same thing. True? You tell me.

Trump said Stern’s quote was “pretty close” to his exact words. I presume that Trump really said “pussy is expensive” but Stern had to bowdlerize it a bit for radio.

Maybe it was “Pussy…willow is expensive.”

@Lord_Feldon

And he started at 3:20 this morning. That means he’ll be even more sleep-deprived than usual at his rally tonight. Who knows what’ll come out.

Where can I get some of that coke?

Insisting on credible sources who will go on the record? Sad.

The Republican nominee is staying up all night slut shaming a woman on Twitter. The mind boggles.

I’ve heard it suggested that it’s tactical in order to distract from his illegal charity and breaking the embargo, but that seems unlikely to me.

Yeah. My irony meter broke:

Trump jumps into the gutter: The Republican nominee loses all impulse control, and unleashes a violent Twitter rant against his Miss Universe nemesis.

“Anytime you see a story about me or my campaign saying ‘sources said,’ DO NOT believe it. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!” Trump tweeted a little after 3 a.m.

He followed up with another tweet at about 9 a.m., saying, “Remember, don’t believe ‘sources said’ by the VERY dishonest media. If they don’t name the sources, the sources don’t exist.”

Very, very, very, very, very, tremendously pathetic.

I wish, sorry, but no. 538 currently shows HRC with about a 7.6% chance of carrying the state. If her chances are in the mid-30s by election time, I’ll consider it an historic upset.

[JohnT]

7.6% ~= “might” in my book.

The day after Newsweek’s bombshell story about the Trump organization’s illegal Cuba activity, it’s being hit by a Denial of Service attack.

I’m going to stake out a daring position here; if it ever comes to pass that people are, in totally serious terms, saying that you have a “Miss Universe nemesis,” there are really only two possible explanations:

1. You are, in fact, living in either the Marvel or DC Cinematic Universe, in which “Miss Universe” is not a beauty pageant title but, rather, a superhero or supervillain

OR

2. You are one seriously psychologically disturbed individual.

I would remind that about an hour into High Fidelity (starring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Jack Black and Tim Robbins - a Touchstone Picture - Rated R (2000), four stars) Rob asks Laura what chance they have of getting back together; she says there is a 9% chance of that happening, and by the end of the movie we believe when they fall in love this time it will be forever.

I’ve seen that movie many, many times.

To be fair, having a Miss Universe nemesis would be acceptable were you also a beauty pageant contestant.
