Nothing will come of it, though.  They'll "investigate," Trump's people will lie (and blame it on Hillary/Obama), they'll determine no further action need be taken, and we will have to draw a new line for Trump to cross (which he will - and in record time).  

 

At this point, Trump could literally gun down someone in cold blood, and we STILL would have to question why he hasn't been forced out of the election.

At this point, there is no way to force Trump out of the race other than him stepping out voluntarily. Even if the Republican Party wanted to take the nomination from him, it would only be ceremonial. He'd still have the Republican line on the ballot. You can't force anyone out of an election when they have been chosen by voters.

Seems like CNN focused on new Clinton emails (are these the one from the DNC server?) that raise questions about her finances. Also, that guy scaling the Trump Tower. But what's up with her finances? Is that somehow more important than Trump's taxes? Or you know what Trump said yesterday? Could you imagine if Hillary said something like that?

Meet the new "NASCAR dads" and "soccer moms," and they seem as stupid and ill-informed as you'd expect (complete with "have a beer with").

I saw in a Youtube comments section (where else) that people were trying to claim Hillary was having Bernie booster killed (Vince Foster is so passe I guess), and apparently that sleazy man is behind this too:

Today in Trump: Obama is the founder of ISIS!

 

 

 

Also in the Shît You Can't Make Up Department: While ranting that Hillary 'knew' Omar Mateen's father was at a recent Clinton campaign event because campaigns always know who's seated, Trump had a guest at his own rally - disgraced congressman Mark Foley.

If you are a republican I can see wanting him to step aside, but for everyone else it is becoming more obvious every day Trump is wrecking the party.  Let him.   Assuming all these polls are honest, she was just as disliked as he was and yet she is still up 10 pts.  Let him go on his merry way.  You can almost believe the conspiracy theory Joe Scarborough floated a week or so back that Bill Clinton called his friend Donald Trump and said  <cue Darrell Hammond accent> "I have an idea..."  

I think that would be incredibly funny if true, but while that would be the Clintons' ultimate revenge on the GOP I can't see Trump going for that.    I don't think the republicans have a chance in hell since he picked a fight with that war dad.    That guy was like the guy who took down McCarthy.

Trump is still hanging on to his claim that Obama founded ISIS. I'm kind of loving this. I feel like he's finally turned a corner where people aren't genuinely surprised anymore by his raving. The press has pretty much taken to treating him like Otis from The Andy Griffith Show.

 

He's already preparing his sorry followers for his inevitable loss. From NPR:

"All I do is tell the truth. And if at the end of 90 days, I've fallen short because I'm somewhat politically (incorrect) even though I'm supposed to be the smart one and even though I'm supposed to have a lot of good ideas, it's OK." He added, "I go back to a very good way of life."

    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.
