He has a very bare bones campaign staff. No research personnel, no copy editors, no people to flesh this stuff out or edit it.
Whatever comes to that marvelous brain of his just..... leaks right out.  I think his son-in-law and his children finally convinced him to get rid of some people. However, I think the children are likely better people than their Dad so I'm not sure how much they can improve things. Trump being Trump (lying ass calling out names) is going to remain part of the strategy, just less so.
Apparently they want to stay faithful to the big mouth brand yet hope lessening the yapping will bring new voters under Trumpella.
The children who happily slaughtered endangered animals in Africa? Those children?  "Look at me!! I bagged me an elephant and sawed off its tail! I'm going after a leopard next!" |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

What makes you think I WANT her to be guilty. To be honest I wish she wasn't. I don't WANT to prefer Donald over the other candidates. I'd much rather vote for someone honorable and with integrity... however Hillary ain't it because she's... well... who she has proven herself to be... even if nothing does stick. there is no honor or integrity left for any politician on the nation's level. And I have doubts about the local and state levels too. Sadly, I find myself thinking much the same, Beth. I'm not sure greed hasn't infiltrated to such a degree that honesty and integrity have simply left the building. |

How can a person born **** ever know whether people who surround him really love him for who is he rather than what he has and the benefits of sucking up to a *** asshole? i think this is a problem with all rich, beautiful, or famous people. they always have to wonder WHY. I think it can be. I'm not sure it has to be though. For some people, it will be obvious they are there for you not your things, not your power. |

I did not say they were better, I hope some of them are. I kind of knew Donald J. Trump Jr. was like poppa. But I am sad Eric is less than umm desireable. Was hoping one of the male children would be better.

His children could slaughter endangered animals every day for a year and still be better people than their father. (OK, that was a bit of an exaggeration.) I don't know whether or not Trump's children are better people than he is. But, a few pictures of them with their prize kills isn't enough to convince me that they are worse. |

Yeah, not only did he execute them, he did so not through due process, but by decree and a wave of his hand....
Not exactly what we and our Constitution typically regard as Kosher.
And speaking of Kosher.... he compounded it with that silly Hillary ad with the 6 pointe star. Not that I think that was intentional.... but it was very stupid. Further deflected from his golden opportunity. Maybe not intentional but poorly researched by his paid attack goons and a 'gotcha' fail. Similar to his TV ad about illegal aliens pouring over the southern U.S. border which turned out to be video footage of illegal imigrants pouring over a border wall in Morocco trying to get into the Spanish enclave of Melilla on the African coast. Made Trump look like the uninformed, incompetent dope he is. It also disproves his constant assertions that he surrounds himself with only the best and smartest people.
Some dumb ass googled 'mobs invading' and that was the best video that popped up. Who needs to worry about minor details like who the members of the mob are, or where they're trying to invade.
I guess Trump is just lucky he didn't end up with the scene from World War Z with the zombies scaling the wall into Jerusalem.
Crack staff you got there, Trump.

I'm not sure greed hasn't infiltrated to such a degree that honesty and integrity have simply left the building. I'm jaded to the point that I think almost all politicians are owned by someone.
Hillary is definitely in the deep pockets of the wealthy banks and businesses.
Trump, for all he says he's his own man, is owned by one thing - his own business. I think the only things he would work hard for if he became POTUS would be things that directly benefited his own bottom line. He's proven in his business practices that he doesn't give much of a shit about the middle class workers, and he relies on cheap immigrant labor to keep his operating costs down, so he won't actually be building a wall.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump may have failed to disavow the Ku Klux Klan in late February, but he’ll have you know he is not racist. In fact, he claims to be “the least racist person that you have ever met,” and last summer he pulled out the old standby about not having a racist bone in his body. But he hasn’t given us a lot of reason to believe that. In fact, despite Trump’s protests to the contrary, he has a long history of saying and doing racist things. It’s not really surprising that he’s won the support and praise of the country’s white supremacists. Here’s a running list of some of the most glaringly racist things associated with Trump. We’re sure we’ll be adding to it soon . www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-racist-examples_us_56d47177e4b03260bf777e83He's such an odious carbon based life form. Apparently he's not familiar with Avenue Q's wisdom.... |

Trump can't give up the big mouth brand and the yapping - without it he becomes just another portly middle aged business man with a bad rug and a late in life desire to run for office - you see them all the time in local politics.
He's got to run as the person everyone is used to seeing on his TV shows and TV ads - the loud braggart who says whatever politically incorrect thing that comes into his mouth. He's running as a persona, not a candidate.

Middle aged? He's 70!! Is the that old? For some reason I thought he was mid 60's.
The older I get, the more 'middle aged' gets pushed back.

Yes. He celebrated his 70th birthday on June 14th. He has the nerve to call Hillary old. She's younger than he is. |

Plus, they have six marriages between them. Now there's something to put on your campaign stickers - serial wives for everyone!

In this reference "stick" would refer to "be prosecuted and found guilty and punished" (you know... like melted stuff sticks to a pan forever unless worked off over time and with hard work?)... but I'm going to guess you already knew that and were just "poking" me. |

since Trump hit his 6 month polling LOW about a month ago, he is up about 2% unfortunately for him, so is Clinton. what this means is that a month ago, about 18% of the electorate was "neither", and now 14% is. more than enough to decide the election, but i would bet that 2/3 of those folks vote 3rd party this year, making it very unlikely that the winning candidate will get 50%. www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html |
