What a whining lunatic

Trump has succeeded by getting maybe 35-40% of a weak, divided GOP primary. Those voters are primarily white, angry men with HS diplomas who don’t look past the TV character…When it comes to the general election, he will be facing an electorate that is unlike the primary voters. His shtick and illiterate responses, coupled with his racist and bigoted rhetoric will not sit well at all. He will fail in a YUUUGE way. He will go back to being an annoying egotistic, narcissistic billionaire. His voters however, will have nothing but bitterness and regret. I can’t wait for that day.

OMG, that’s a great picture! LOL – it looks like he’s either pleasuring himself or he got his weewee caught in his zipper.

Trump is, if nothing else, the most trollable candidate in memory.

I love temper tantrums from people afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Syndrome…

OMFG. I continue to be amazed at how many photos of Rump are taken that make him look either completely unhinged or like a drooling moron. His over-the-top antics on stage translate badly to photo ops.

Trump claims to be a great negotiator. It seems derailing him while facing him across the table would be very easy. Toss out some minor insult and you’ve won. If Putin nicknames him “Mr. Stubby Fingers” Eastern Europe will be annexed within a week while Trump fumes in the Oval Office bathroom. That or the world gets blown up.

If nothing else, Trump really is helping out comedians and photo-journalists.

This is a best case scenario. However to rely on this coming to pass is dangerous. Once it is a two person race he will have a legitimacy that he doesn’t have now. The divided country will fall into the two camps, and this will be a close split as usual. I suspect Hillary will lead in most polls going to election day, but if we don’t fire up the base, the strong turnout among Trump supporters could give him a victory. (It could be like Michigan where Hillary supporters became too overconfident.)
Don’t forget Jesse Ventura became governor of Minnesota and Schwarzenegger became governor of CA - two liberal states by and large. Celebrity is a very powerful thing to attract average, low-information voters.

It’s a puzzle, isn’t it? He seems to have none of the characteristics of a savvy negotiator. Maybe this explains his repeated business failures. The greater mystery is how investors and partners get suckered into doing business with him. It’s no secret that he’s hung most of them out to dry.

Trump: She swung like an idiot
That put me on the floor.

“… to see if Mr. Trump can begin to act like a President.”
Oh, he can act - in short fits and starts - but he isn’t close to having the character and integrity to ever become presidential material. Thin-skinned train wreck who can’t let the most minor slight go unanswered.

I think he’s played that string out, now that the mechanizations and fraud at the root of his business practices and personal behavior have finally been aired out more fully in public.Going forward anyone he flim-flams gets what they richly deserve. Including the electorate.

Trump is slowing chipping away at his support and it won’t be long before there is nothing left but the most rabid followers.
He has such thin skin, that it will be trivial to keep him distracted with one squirrel of an attack after another that he will keep chasing with no rhyme or reason. When Hillary and the Dems get done with him, there will be no one left for him to lash out at.

Nothing would be better than for the WSJ to so harm Trump’s candidacy that we end up with Cruz. Trump is unpredictable enough that he might just win, while Cruz will be lucky if his own family vote for him.
Trump’s right about the WSJ editorial board, too. Their right-wing extremism is so predictable that if you read the editorial page for a week or two, you could write them yourself. I wonder if the family that owned it regret selling to Murdoch - every bad prediction about the direction of the paper has come true, including editorializing in news articles.
