I think Trump being so disliked by women, hispanics, african American, lgbtq and arabic populations as a whole is really going to make it hard for him to win. He isnt even really liked by his own party. When the bushes, lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney and some others call him a joke, it shows how fractured the Republican party is becoming.
I think trump will do well with whites over 40, but I don't see the youth voting for him.

Someone has already claimed that today's mass murder is going to win the elections for Trump. "Everyone at the club was a Shillary voter and the survivors are going to vote for Trump."

That person is an idiot.

Sure, 50 or so Hillary voters dead and, let's say another 50 or converted to Trump. Yeah, that's totally going to change the course of the election.

Okay Christie is a corrupt asshole by all accounts, but I can't help but feel bad for him to be reduced to this.

Then I remember he could always have refused to support Trump in the first place and stop.

Recall that Chris Christie used to be a tough guy type.

Whatever Trump is doing to him, it'd probably make the Red Skull himself go "Nice work!"

There's something about Trump that's been bothering me for a while now and I think I figured it out. Trump did good in business a few times, this is true. But he's also failed spectacularly as well. Bankrupt casinos come to mind, as well as losing a metric ton of money in real estate. Christ, he was so 80's. Such machismo much brashness, we're going to make money, dammit, and nobody is going to stop me! And he kept that up far too long. I don't trust the man to shape economic policy for where I live.

Apparently hackers have unearthed the DNC's file on Trump, Mother Jones has published it here: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/06/hackers-just-released-what-appears-be-dncs-trump-opposition-research-file

Having read through a bit I'm surprised the DNC didn't release it. It's not as if they don't want this stuff out there.

They want it out there, but they want to put it out piece by piece at times when it'll do the most damage. Having it all come out at once allows him to shrug off future attacks based on it as "old news, we're past that, we've gotten over that, it's sad that Crooked Hillary's still attacking me about this, she's not going to win, we're going to be winning."

Did you guys know that someone tried to assassinate Trump?

Quote

Court documents revealed he told authorities he wanted to kill Trump for more than a year, but had only worked up the nerve to do so at the weekend.  If he failed, he had planned another assassination attempt at a rally in Phoenix, for which he had already booked tickets.

Sandford told police he had never fired a gun before but went to a Las Vegas shooting range on June 17 to learn how.

He acknowledged he would only be able to get one or two shots off before being shot himself by security, and had accepted his own death. 

Sandford told police he’d been living in the US for a year and a half, but was unemployed and living out of a car.

Authorities said he was in the country illegally.

Sandford’s lawyer said his client had autism and had previously attempted suicide.

Kid sounds like he was a mess. He was foiled by the simple fact that he didn't bring his own gun (perhaps he couldn't afford one or didn't know how to smuggle one in) and he didn't know how holsters work... If you see a police officer with a gun on his belt and think that you could just snatch it off and start shooting then you should be know that people have been aware of this idea for decades and new holsters are designed to prevent it. You have to pull the gun out in the exact right way or it will just stick in the holster.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

A bomb? Like some filthy Catholic? Well LAa dih Daa! Look at the Guy Fawkes here who wants to kill his enemies with a bomb rather than shooting them and looking them in the eye while doing so.

Wonder how many people will claim this somehow validates Trump.

http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/what-we-know-about-newest-rape-allegations-against-donald-trump

So there's now someone claiming Trump raped her at the age of 13.

I don't know of the case is true, but I'm inclined to believe it, because well it's Trump.
