November? Try the year 2032.

That is exactly my first thought. Obama has cornered the GOPers (while going high – class act), and they now completely missed the last chance to dump their nominee, going even lower.

Makes you wonder how far he has to go in the cutter for them to say…I’m done with Donald

I’m picturing Coach Putin starting to look very closely at his Manchurian Candidate bullpen for a relief pitcher.
Donnie’s rotator cuff mouth has blown him out of the game.

They’ve really gone all in on this. The President, as usual, has hit the nail on the head. The party is insane, the candidate is insane, and the individual office holders have to deal with that now.

Trump has fatal character defects, that most Americans, and especially someone serving as the President are capable of diagnosing themselves. He is documenting those defects with great precision and to devastating effect (not so hard when Trump is making it pretty easy to see).

The President is not qualified to make a medical diagnosis, however, and if he did, it would come off as ad hominem. I think it would not go over well.

Obama is the epitome of what a real President is and better yet, a good and decent man. Gawd, letting him go wont be easy for me

Mark it, Dude: Donald withdraws before Nov 4, citing ā€œunfairnessā€ of ā€œriggedā€ election. GOP’s pull in some hapless victim (Pence, Romney, Jeff Sessions, Steve King) as sub. Trumpistas revolt, threaten violence, stay home. Donald attacks the hapless GOP patsy. Hillary clobbers H-GOP-P on Nov. GOP loses Senate, nearly loses House, loses many governor’s mansions. Bernie’s #BrandNewCongress targets the next round of 2018 GOP congress-critters. Republican party ceases to exist as national political force.

Keep it up, Mr. President. No one, not even Clinton, can get under Trump’s skin as much as Obama, and Trump can’t go up against Obama because he just doesn’t have the intelligence or grace that Obama has. And I know the President is absolutely relishing this because he has never forgotten Trump and his birtherism, and also I believe Obama is truly offended by Trump’s shocking, desperate,derisive, and un-American (but not un-Republican) treatment of the Kahns and their fallen son. He isn’t using the Kahns for his political ambitions the way Trump and the Republicans used the mother of the soldier who was killed in the Benghazi attack.
I wonder if there is anyone in the Trump campaign who is wise enough to tell the Donald that engaging in a Twitter war of words and insults with a man like Barack Obama is a losing proposition? I’d doubt it, but maybe Ivanka will realize she really doesn’t want to start working for a living by selling jewelry on the Home Shopping Network after the election is over. Of course, the Trump sons can always cook meth to make money, since that seems what they were born for.

Obama’s step is uniquely drastic, because Trump is uniquely unqualified.

It’ll make sure that Republicans keep endorsing Trump, no matter the level of shame and derision, because you can’t do what Obummer wants you to.

Precisely. I fear that McCain, Grassley and other Trump endorsers will withdraw their nominations and, perhaps in McCain’s case, even endorse Hillary – making their hypocrisy easier to hide. Obama calling them out on their endorsements simultaneously makes it harder for them to withdraw their endorsement, and points to the hypocrisy.

I think every Democrat needs to be taking this line of attack against every GOPer. In down ticket debates and elections just straight up ask them, ā€œwhat’s line can Trump cross, that would cause you to withdraw your support for him?ā€ I think it’s very effective at exposing the GOP for what they are, a bunch of partisan hacks more concerned with winning than the well-being of our democracy.

He’ll force her to have a press conference when he’s not debating…

LOL! That’s so funny! It actually sounds like something Billo would say on his show. They are so fucking delusional that they honestly believe they have been treating Barack Obama with respect for the last 8 years.
