Only with Hillary do we talk about her being “likable”. With Trump, it’s approval ratings and all that crap, but for soooooooooome reason, with Hillary, that becomes whether she’s likable. Or trustworthy, but that’s a whole other kettle of fish that doesn’t really pertain to the point I am making.

UGGGHHHH Likeability! Likeability! EVERYONE SHUT UP. It’s like we’re all so fixated on “liking” each other, even though no one respects each other

No honest man needs more than four pockets.

Right? It’s like he was forcefully correcting someone who misunderstood him AGAIN. Quite a trick.

Primary campaign isn’t going to work in the general. Let’s hope he never realizes this no matter how much his handlers and the GOP tell him so.

Donald Trump, a cirrhotic cheetah liver dusted in gold leaf, claimed Thursday that he saw a video of a completely bananas thing. A day later, he has recalled that no, he didn’t see that video, because it’s not real.

Great. Now maybe they could talk with the hundreds of other lies he’s told.

It’s nice to see the media actually call him out on his lies.

Careful, your Bernie is showing.

I think the point for people like Whitman is that Hillary’s up-front, known raises on taxes for people like her are preferable to Trump’s “fuck up the markets, it’d be fun” approach.

SERIOUSLY. The idea that Hillary isn’t progressive is ridiculous.

So you’re saying if the clinton foundation has ties to Russia, then we should just ignore any ties Trump has? One negates the other? This logic never fails to make me laugh ridiculously. It’s an argument as old as time. “______ is bad because of _____. Well the other side does the same thing. So lets ignore…

If he was a DNC mole he wouldn’t be floating the idea that the general election is rigged, that the Clinton won’t really be the president if she’s elected. In other words, he’d be a trainwreck of a candidate without attempting to fundamentally undermine the legitimacy of democratic institutions to shield his ego if he…

Whether or not he manages to win, as a non-American I am completely terrified watching this all from afar, particularly the polling numbers he continues to get. Americans will loudly cheer at polls showing “only” 40% of the country now support him. And I would be very afraid to live in a country where that many people…

Also: walking around the street and seeing people and thinking, “45% of you will vote for a racist demagogue for president.” Even if he loses, this is an extremely depressing percentage of the American population. Thanks GOP, for putting your country before your party.

Yeah. At first I was like, “Well, at least he’s making our lingering societal issues painfully obvious. That could be a good thing, right?” But it turns out that the people who NEEDED to realize that . . . still aren’t realizing that. Instead, they’re feeling validated because they’ve found people who agree with them.

While it would be great for this to be true (if not scary for US democracy), having now read Tony Schwartz’s account of ghostwriting Art of the Deal, I just can’t see Trump as having the focus or patience to run a long con like this.

He’s trying to tank his chances while completely destroying the GOP from wirhin, taking down with him Ryan, Mitch The Turtle, McCain, Prebius specifically.

It isn’t just the fact that Trump will come uncomfortably close to winning that gives me a case of the howling fantods. It’s also the fact that, even assuming he is defeated, he’s brought all manner of disgusting creeps out into the sunlight to frolic and play together. The slow, panicky, painful death of absolute…

I’d be enjoying the Trump shitshow if I wasn’t genuinely terrified that he could win the election. His campaign has done everything wrong and yet it’s still going along.
