Maybe we should just elect Trump president

scary: Donald Trump begins contemplating the unthinkable: He might lose

this is not a good thing.

however, it does suggest the foundation of the trump cable new channel...

some initial signs that Trump campaign may be unraveling.. it may just be wishful thinking but I'm hopeful....

with staff as competent as this one, who would believe that things aren't going great?

Trump spokeswoman blames Obama for 2004 death of Captain Khan

as one of my friends wrote on FB, "Of course! The ideas of "linear time" and "causality" are also socially constructed meta-narratives, just like "objective truth". Go, postmodernism! Trump has achieved in less than a year what decades of philosophers and "cultural theorists" had failed."

I cannot see him trailing in the polls in October by ~10% and actually running. He'll say "I have to protect my family from Crooked Hillary's attacks and the rigged system" and drop out so he can claim he did not lose.

I would start reading Rule # 9 from here:

Rules of the Republican Party

Yep, and the Mitt/Pence unity ticket with 3 weeks to campaign and no money would lose pretty badly.

The election will be rigged?

Is he like a precog or something? is his name really John Anderton?

to change the mood just for a minute:

So, who were the celebrities in the Democratic convention's cover of 'Fight Song'?

i question the use of the word "celebrities"...

really hard to know which way this is going to swing (which, come to think of it, is how all things are with trump).

interesting read, good discussion of the for and against of dropping out: Could Trump actually drop out of the race? And what would happen if he did?

They will not ditch Trump...

They will not ditch Trump...

I agree. But I do think there's a chance Trump takes his ball and goes home mid-Fall if this is continuing to go the way it has the last week or two.

Well, his Florida speech did not seem to indicate that he was easing off the throttle, so we wait.

The longer he holds on though, the less likely any replacement nominee can get on every states ballot.

Rep Kinzinger from Illinois .. a Republican hawk.. will not vote for Donald Trump....


this one is big..because he is not outgoing (like Hanna)...

Hillary up 10 points in latest FOX Poll..

one can only hope...

[walk,on,by]

There are a plenty of people, speculating from all different kinds of angles, that she pretty much has this in the bag.

[hutch]

well I dont; think she does...

I think her odds of winning remain very high..70%....but that is not the same as having it "in the bag"...

having said that, Trump is making it easier on Hillary...

She might have it "in the bag" after the first debate.....but we shall see
