Some, yes. The numbers he's picturing, no.

Relatedly, sales of pocket constitutions way up!

How many "little guys" went out of business because Trump refused to pay them for work already completed?

I welcome anyone concluding that Trump is a lunatic and should be stopped short of the presidency.

Reason talked to 10 conservative legal scholars about Trump. All felt that he would have SC picks they liked (slightly) more than Clinton's; half argued that the damage he would do to every other part of government heavily outweighed this, 2 that reasonable people could disagree about which would be greater, and 3…

Fair. For the Democrats' totally insane nominee example we can just keep Donald Trump.

For August?!!!!!!

Actually, there is a very strong trend to re-elect whoever the incumbent is.

Polls suggest otherwise.

"We can't stop him now… but by golly we'll give him a ton more power and then stop him later, when it'll be much easier!" is a stupid plan.

I don't think it's so much "Trump is a Russian agent", as it is "Trump agrees with Putin's worldview"

New spin:

As one of Sullivan's correspondents put it, when the choice is a fascist and not a fascist, you vote for the latter if you are any sort of decent American. Neither one of them had liked Clinton (though by golly the Bernie Bros were pushing them there) but this just is not a hard decision.

US intelligence claims two Russian intelligence agencies hacked the DNC. This has been out for a week at least. Assange meanwhile doesn't want to say where they got their information, this stuff just all got handed to him by concerned parties.

The theory that whatever sane thing Clinton says, or points to in her record, she's lying and secretly plotting to betray us all, and whatever insane thing Trump says, he surely doesn't mean it, is one of the weirdest twists yet on this election.

Secretly the GOP loves Huntsman; not voting for him four years ago was part of a grand plan to sneak him onto the ticket this year… and in a bold double reverse twist the Dems would never see coming, AFTER their convention formally nominated the crazy person.

It's the only explanation.

I believe yesterday their theory was that even though 2018 looks tough for Dems in the Senate elections, if we just elect Trump in 2016 then Dems will have this great year in 2018. Another variation on "If we just elect Trump, a grand far left revolution will break out and sweep us to power!!!!! No, I can't point to…

This is where the logic "How about we give him far more power than he has now, THEN we'll stop him?" makes me pound my head on my keyboard.

Manafort's biography is like a villain on Leverage. "A bit over the top guys… oh, he's not fictional?"
