1. Into the Kiln and then on to old Satan's fires

The heat is on this choking toad.

2. But not in a *good* way for SHITLER, & not to worry, the military story made an existential wound.

3. Cohen seems to be off, too.

4. yes but the difference is that now

Trump no longer control the narrative jumping from one scandal to another one. He is now on the defensive responding to stories he no longer controls.

5. Yeah, but doesn't mean this sucker has forgotten.

Neither has my father, father-in-law, brother, various uncles and cousins, other assorted kin and in-laws, nor all their spouses.

10. Me and mine are simple country folk.

We don't take kindly to being told we're stupid.

8. Every day is a new day

Stories just don’t have staying power like they used to. What seems to be more important is capturing the focus of the daily news cycle.

In that regard I’d say Trump is getting his ass kicked lately. He has used a constantly churning news cycle to his advantage in the past, but I think it’s coming back to bite him now. He needs to get his numbers back up — every day he has to spend fending off a new, devastating bombshell about his conduct is a wasted day for him. And there aren’t that many days left until the election.

Also, the effect of these negative stories is cumulative. Just because the media is no longer talking about his slurs against the military, it doesn’t mean that the people he insulted are going to forget it. Every time a new group of people are slandered by Trump, he bleeds some support from that group.
