The crazies who are cheering him and Palin on, not sure they would react the same way.

With every one of these grotesque gaffs, Trump keeps hardening the resolve of those GOP voters
who already detest him, to NEVER vote for him in a million years; and so I expect might well be
voting for Bernie Sanders in the GE.

And I suspect they'd still not vote for Hillary either (who called Republicans her "number one
enemy'), if she were the Dem nominee.

He'd lose every last one.
Pretty sure he'd lose his eligibility to run for POTUS if he's convicted of murder.

He didn't really think that one through, lol.

I just don't get it. I heard - a couple of days ago - that there was going to be a story coming out this week about the meeting between Bill Clinton and Trump last spring. WTF was it about? Why hasn't anything been reported about it all these months, and what could be so noteworthy that it's announced (about the 'story') 8 months after the fact.
Something isn't right.

Both deny they talked politics.

I think the Trump campaign is like "The Producers." He got in it for some quick publicity and now keeps trying to drop out of the race by becoming ever more outrageous, except it doesn't work and there's no graceful way to leave without dinging his delicate male ego.

Doesn't matter what he says or does. Morons will support him because they're mad about having to respect people.
