i have to marvel at the political ineptness of the trump campaign.

[unblock]

i don't know which is more impressive, the list of mistakes or the forehead-slapping obviousness of most of them.

just to give one example:


after having called miss universe -- someone his own pageant contest had declared essentially to be the most beautiful woman in existence -- "miss piggy",

trump and his surrogates essentially said, repeatedly:

"in my defense, she was actually fat."





all i can say is that there will be many, many political science books; theses; and dissertations about this campaign and the pathology that is donald trump.

1. Trump saaaaaaalute

[apcalc]

2. Inept or not , I am worried he might win. You?

[HipChick]

4. I was..

but not any more

[unblock]

5. well, i've always thought he had a very low chance of actually winning.

it defies all logic that he would actually win. i gets that *some* people are pissed, particularly the bigots. that points to intense passion for him, but only among a limited population.

if we were in a recession, i'd be worried.

at this point the election is hillary's to lose, and it would take a major gaffe for that to happen. fortunately, while she's not perfect, she is quite steady in that respect.

6. I am. A Trump Presidency would be such a catastrophe, you *have* to worry a little...

...but what amazes me is why he's within 30 points of Clinton. How is such a thing possible? And what does it say about America?

3. It is rather dazzling, isn't it? n/t

7. I will admit Don is a great salesman ..... don is no businessman though

The part that gets me people do not know he franchises his "Trump " brand in name only and they think any building with his name on it is his . As far as I can tell they are the banks / investors buildings .

8. In fact I think that's because lenders know he's a loser

He used to run a real estate business. He failed. Spectacularly. Lenders won't do business with him anymore.

But if his involvement is just a licensed name, and the real borrowers are legit, they're ok with that.

Terrible, horrible background for a president!

[Kathy M]

9. Agree .

[uponit7771]

16. +1, exactly ... a great salesman is NOT... NOT a great business man

[kimbutgar]

10. Have they even looked at the majority of women attending his rallies?

Not many skinny Minnie's.

11. HOW IS THIS GOING TO END????

This circus has to end someplace.....how can we believe what we're seeing??? He's INCAPABLE OF BEING NORMAL. and he's on every headline....paper, tv Internet. OK. I'm leaving again.......C U all in a month or so....November 3rd or so.

12. I am grateful for the political ineptness of the trump campaign. n/t

13. Karl Rove met with Trump: Rove then said, he was amazed at how little Trump know about campaigns.

And this is from an expert in campaigning.
And it shows. High school student body presidential campaigns are run better than this. Have you ever heard of a student body presidential candidate insult have the student body. Call all fat girls losers, Hispanic students rapists and drug mules, school bullies as winners, black students you are in worse time in your history, called the school staff the establishment loser. and expect to win an election.
At the school rally, yell call Hannity, call Hannity, he will tell you, I did not support our football team in the state play off.

14. Astounding, isn't it? So many obvious, basic errors

15. It's very hard for the crew of a ship to do their jobs

when the captain is a gigantic loose cannon rolling around on the deck causing the ship to list to port, right itself and then to starboard- repeat.

They don't have a chance.
