Trump is not going to clean up his act. He can't...

if he does, he'll bore the hell out of his base and piss them off. Then some 8chan nut case will run against him. He's stuck with his base and he's doomed if he doesn't preside over enough bloodletting to satisfy them. The Republican Party has created a monster and I think it's going to devour them.

that the monster finishes his meal soon. Don't know if we can survive another 18 months of this.

When McCain was trying to dial it back by disagreeing with one of the screaming hoard about Obama they didn't want to hear it.

Meanwhile, they gave them a little taste of Palin to get them all riled up.

The rest has just been a downhill slide since then.

would bother any Republican. The way things are playing out, the GOP has plans for the next election. All they have to do, is keep cranking out the bullsh*t. Would anyone be surprised to see Trumps poll numbers increase over this? They may have wanted to have mass-murders happen closer to the election, but what a great way to suppress the vote!

To get Donald Trump out of office, I would risk being shot dead to go vote for the Democrat for President, then vote for every other democrat on the ballot.

When people are afraid to go out and vote the fascists win.

His rallygoer base comes to see a show. They would be bored and streaming out the exits if Trump gave a speech like he did today.
