Once again, Trump gets tossed something he could actually use and rejects it. You get part of the DNC playbook but, like the German High Command on D-Day, still think the invasion will be at the Pas de Calais.
No predictions, but just a possible scenario based on what Iâve been reading: There wonât be a huge spectacular crackup. Itâll be more like Donald is in a hall, ranting on and on, increasingly divorced from reality. The crowd will slowly filter away, more and more disturbed, disgusted, and filled with pity for a pathetically ill man and horror at seeing a mental disorder leave a person lost in his own fantasy world. Metaphorically heâll be there in the hall, alone, still ranting after theyâve turned off the lights. The GOP wonât replace him, or even formally renounce him, but theyâll just go through the motions of running a Presidential campaign, leaving him and his people on their own, for the most part. Heâll be crushed electorally, and so will the GOP. But theyâll avoid riots at the convention or an ongoing civil war, and after the election they can try to pick up the pieces and figure out whatâs next.
Iâd certainly envisioned a more flagrant breakdown, and that may happen after the election. But this guyâs mind is so fortified against reality that maybe it wonât happen, or maybe it happens after the election, out of the public eye. Just what Iâm imagining lately; take it for what you will.
In his mind, there will â there must â be a day when Putin will be standing behind him on the podium with a blank expression, tie askew and magically fatter than the Donald, while Trump makes jokes about what a mess Russia is.
Democrats donât have to lift a finger to divert attention from Hillary, Deadbeat Don.
Youâre doing a fine job of that all on your own.
My fear is he will keep yacking for years after people tire of his bullshit,and have stopped listening like Sarah Palin
He has quite a bit of money. Even with $150-200 million, you can keep yourself in quite a bubble. Especially if you own highly leveraged properties that you tell yourself are yours.
Right now Putin and his guys are reading the DNC report and they canât stop their hysterical laughter!
Yes I can imagine Putin standing next to Trump and then letting a giant fart looseâŚ
Everything to the point of the above rings possible, if not probable.
But as a party-- the GOP can never figure out how theyâve gone wrong.
Because they are never at fault. Ever.

please proceed, Mr. Trump.
Five more months of this madmanâs ravings. Itâs only going to get more deranged once it becomes clear heâs a yuuuuuge loser.
oh I would not miss a minute of it.
I have it on good authority that thatâs what heâs doing in the picture!
omg, dommyluc, that was a thing of beauty - I was a millisecond away from having a coffee-sprayed keyboard!
It would be a Conspiracy Theory a Day in a Trump administration.
Mr Paranoid.
No, theyâre wrong-lesson learners, arenât they? If theyâd taken the so-called âautopsyâ to heart after 2012 we might be looking at a very different election. The establishment types wanted Rubio, as I recall. Seems like 37 years ago.
Wonder from which of Trumpâs unassailable Ministries of Information he got his proof: The National Enquirer or Alex Jonesâ Infowars??
bwwwahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Gawwd, just when you think his âcampaignâ couldnât go any deeper down the rabbit hole or through the looking glassâŚhe blasts on through!
Who was that guy of Indian ancestry who until recently Governor of Louisiana? I swear that it may be early here in AZ (5:30 am) but Iâm having a serious senior moment.
edit
Iâm seriousâŚI canât remember the weaselâs name.
Where is Baghdad Bob ? Trump needs to recruit him
