1. K&R

2. Perfect

and that was before the tax scandal

3. And it probably will just get worse

each week until election day. This man has decades of baggage to draw upon. One does not have to look very hard to find a Trump scandal.

4. And his supporters will hunker down and scream their support for Trump even louder.

I don't know if it's the case everywhere, but all over NW Ohio, Trump supporters feel the need to post multiple signs on what little frontage they have on their properties. At one residence, there were FOUR Trump signs along about 150 feet of property frontage. It's like they're insecure and they have to somehow express that their candidate is the best.

6. Like their leader,

they cannot and will not admit they are wrong. They will paint every scandal as a left-wing conspiracy meant to bring Trump down, though any reasonable person can see that Trump is bring down Trump.

Maybe every time bad news comes out about Trump, his supporters feel the need to put up another sign in defiance?

5. Well, I might argue

that McGovern having to dump Eagleton was worse--and then of course Nixon carried forty-nine states.

Then again, we still have five weeks to go.

But yes, this past week has been an unmitigated disaster for Trump and for Republicans in general.

And I'm loving every minute of it.

7. I think it is snowballing now

It helps that journalists are actually reporting on the obvious scandals that have been there for decades. Hopefully they are getting in a competitive spirit and will leave no stone unturned.
