Trump’s last tweet? - By E.J. Dionne Jr.

[DonViejo]

Donald J. Trump has now driven home, in a way no apologist, enabler or timid analyst can plausibly deny, that he is far too nasty, immature and frighteningly undisciplined to be president.

And thanks to Hillary Clinton for the assist: By using the first debate to bring up the case of a Miss Universe who, Trump decided, had put on too much weight, the Democratic nominee unleashed the ugly inner Donald — the man whom the candidate and his handlers have been trying to hide.

This should be a wake-up call to political analysts who have gone out of their way since Trump announced his candidacy to pretend that he was the ingenious creator of a political special sauce who deserved our respect for “speaking his mind.” No, Trump all along has been a clinically self-involved con man who never took the issues, the presidency or the future of our country seriously. Can there be any doubt that his campaign is a branding exercise gone, quite literally, mad?

Trump’s gift to voters was a series of tweets he started sending out at 3:20 a.m. Friday morning. His behavior gives new meaning to the old ads about 3 a.m. phone calls questioning how a would-be president might respond to crisis. Beware any human being who feels an impulse to send out angry tweets at that hour.

1. E.J. is always really good.

Happy to R&

[madaboutharry]

2. The failure to disavow this sick and dangerous man

must become a badge of shame.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. The GOP owns his shame & sickness. They better split off the Deplorable Party or will be no GOP. nt

[BootinUp]

3. That article is a keeper! Thanks for posting. nt

[Coyotl]

4. Current situation must be converted into overthrowing the Republican Congress, the change we need.

Time to focus on the districts that will flip the majority and put Pelosi back in charge of enacting our platform.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. +1 Trump & GOP must be crushed to prevent Trump 2.0 in 2020 & to commit GOP to meaningful reform. nt

[Coyotl]

7. We need the kind of defeat that makes Pence go away for good.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. +2. Pence is {Dominionist} christian 1st, conservative 2nd, Republican 3rd. USA citizen not close.

[Bucky]

21. Dominionists are the ones who think God put Dubya in the White House. God's got some learnin' to do.

I assume Trump is God's second whack at putting his designated savior pro tem in charge of the Executive Branch. Really, God, I always assumed You had more game than that.

9. That is my worry with Trump

not that he would win in 2016... but, that if somebody without all the baggage and with a better temperament comes along, what will happen in 2020, 2024 or 2028? Is there another Trump brewing out there that is maybe in his 30s or 40s now?

10. Obama gets it. Really gets it. DU thread:

11. I am sure one of his richie rich offspring will run

[NewJeffCT]

14. I think

right now, Ivanka is the only one that has gotten generally positive overall reviews from the RNC and in general. And, she is supposedly a Democrat.

I think if the media has really turned on trump and he ends up losing big, I think the Trump boys will be finished politically.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. Hope it sticks!

[mgardener]

13. We need to remember

ALL the people that supported Trump and make sure they are never/ not elected to office again.

In my mind anybody that supported Trump has NO morals, ethics, or plain common sense. They don't care about the US, they are in it for themselves.

15. I can hear his BFF Hannity now..

He wasn't conservative enough, or was not a true conservative.


Peace

[Beartracks]

18. OMG, yes. THIS. You read my mind.

When you think of something Hannity might say, do you hear it in his whiny voice?

==============

[hibbing]

19. hahaha

I hear either that or when he goes into his what I like to call "academic role" where he tries to make all the putrid bile he is spewing sound so definitive, like when he's talking to his fellow MENSA member Newt.

Peace

16. Hey we still have 5 more weeks. He has plenty of time to make this his best week everrrrrrrrr.

Do you really believe that this will be his worst week, I've got a news flash, you ain't seen nothing yet. Trump is just getting warmed up. This are his stretching moves. The real deal is coming in a few weeks. Each week will get progressively worse that the prior week. Then we get the big climax. BOOM.

[sheshe2]

17. E.J.

Sure ripped into Trump with that piece! Good.

[Hamlette]

23. He hit the GOP harder, as he should have.

Those that haven't turned on him can't. They have to ride it out. My fantasy is his business suffers, maybe he even goes broke. Maybe no one will do business with him. But we need the press to keep it up with all his past sins. Fingers crossed.

[randome]

20. Barugon will never again use his rainbow energy. It's so sad.

(I guess Trump reminds me of old and insipid Japanese monster movies from childhood. Sniff.)
