Trump cannot shut up......There is just one good aspect to this...

As Trump spouts off again and again about Soros and the caravan etc, he does one thing that might be good for our side.'

He is proving to every voter in the U.S.A. that he has lost his mind. He needs to be removed as soon as possible. This is the language provoked the murderer in the temple, and the idiot who sent bombs through the mail.. Trump provokes violence. Those who are sane can see this.

And today, Donald Trump does it again. So if we thought that Trump has learned to calm down and stop this, well that was totally wrong. He has not stopped this. He has started again. He is dangerous..I don't know what else to say??

The GOP can talk about doing this, but if the Democrats win in the House and Senate..then getting rid of social programs will be impossible

Every day he hijacks the conversation and drags it out the door, and down the road. Meanwhile the media are not talking about healthcare, raising the minimum wage, dealing with climate change, shoring up the safety net, ending corporate welfare, etc etc

The news cycle wasn't in his favor the last couple weeks due to the distractions and tragedies his evil rhetoric created in the first place. He was practically begging M$M to talk about his caravan nonsense while all the attention was on the bomber and then the Pittsburgh murders. While everyone else grieves, for him and his deplorables its a mere inconvenience to his evil election tactics and so now he's doubling his effort to seize the news cycle for his narratives right before the election.

and he is nuts. He may think he can, but events have shown, his talk provokes violence. Maybe it feeds the base, but most of us (not his base, that is 60 percent of the country) are fucking sick of this. And on election day I think that most of us, will show Trump how sick we are of this stinking shit. Election is in a week.

He thinks he must keep throwing them more and more red meat and lies to get them to the polls. He knows that their votes are incrementally needed along with the votes of the selfish Republican voters who know very well he is nuts and that he lies theough his teeth about everything, but they don't care. They'll vote for a monster as long as they get what they want.

Those events slowed the Republican momentum.. Never mind the deaths, grieving families.
Trump is trying to use every trick he can think of. The more he rants,the more he loses.

Now,with Stone and Bannon exposed the noose is getting tighter.
