Trump is punch drunk. reeling off the ropes. Or however that boxing metaphor goes

Whether or not he's smart is, I suppose, debatable, but this guy's ability to analyze and see clearly is so handicapped by his towering narcissism that the didn't see the fleet of Mack trucks headed his way. He pranced and preened and bullied his way through the primaries against contestants who didn't have a clue how to handle him- in large part because he was articulating the shit they push in a much less subtle, much cruder manner. And the MSM was fine with it. Good ratings, good revenues.

But then came the end of the primaries and the MSM started turning on him. Clinton and the dems were ready for him. The stuff that is just starting to come out is only the beginning. The really rough shots at him are only in their infancy.

He is clueless.

And sooo fucked.

(For the record, I think he's a stupid, stupid man- not that that's his worst quality)

There's a smorgasbord of smashmouth Trump articles this morning:

Trump's charity claims could violate fraud laws

messily implode and I think the repubs are stuck with him. I don't see him getting the "basic floor".

He's going to be so toxic by the time November rolls around.

... she'd already be in the 20 - 40s but for HRC only 27% of Sanders supporters said they wouldn't vote for her while in 08 it was 40% for Obama and 97% did vote for Obama.

I think the thing that'll end the GOP as we know it is in 12 the GOP gained 10 million white votes and 36% of whites voted for Obama when they were projecting 25%

America isn't as racist as the GOP thinks she is...

That's a good thing
