Trump campaign releases long statement regarding Hillary tax release. Basically, she's at the center of an international corruption scandal and the campaign wants to see a million other documents.

Good luck, buddy.

 

Meanwhile:

 

'Trump is underperforming so comprehensively...it would take video evidence of a smiling Hillary drowning a litter of puppies while terrorists surrounded her with chants of ‘Death to America,’' said an Iowa Republican.

You're not seriously believing anyone cares about this do you. I mean the hypocrisy here is just too transparent. A request from a campaign who refuses to release their own candidates returns. They are really becoming a laughing stock. Even moreso than they were just a week ago.

I was just quoting him with the international corruption scandal line. None of this stuff matters to me, but his supporters will eat it up. But they eat everything up, so... 

 

Hillary staff uses Trump's "Many people are saying..." line to tweet "Many people are saying Trump won't release his tax returns because he's hiding something. What do you think it is?"

It's funny. But again his core supporters aren't going to move. In fact I think he could say he'd turn over the presidency of the US to Vladimir Putin and they would think it was great.

Good point.

 

Just read this...Trump adviser KellyAnn Conway actually just told MSNBC that Hillary's failure to crack 60% among women is sign of weakness.

 

 

And I see the Haiti "scandal" is making its rounds again. 

Well this isn't going to go well, not in open/carry states...

He is encouraging his crazed supporters to be on the lookout.

They could schedule all the come-to-Jesus meetings they want.  None would make any difference.  Trump won't listen.

He might try for a day or two, but he's incapable of behaving normally.  Nearly every day he says something more outlandish than the day before. I don't think he can speak more than a few mins without making stuff up and he's an attention whore.  At this point all HRC has to do is sit back and let him keep talking. At this rate he's running out of groups to offend.

 

 

I find it refreshing that maybe since the first time since Ross Perot a candidate has been so true to themselves.   It would be a sin for him to change.   This is who he is, and if people want an ego maniacal narcissist then Trump is the man for them.   Well ok, Dick Cheney didn't hide his James Bond villain tendencies.   It would be nice if once in a while a sane person would show their true colors though, but I guess that wouldn't be all that interesting.

NYT takes an inside look at Trump's self-immolation:

 

Donald J. Trump was in a state of shock: He had just fired his campaign manager and was watching the man discuss his dismissal at length on CNN. The rattled candidate’s advisers and family seized the moment for an intervention.

 

Joined by his daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, a cluster of Mr. Trump’s confidants pleaded with him to make that day — June 20 — a turning point.

 

He would have to stick to a teleprompter and end his freestyle digressions and insults, like his repeated attacks on a Hispanic federal judge. Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman, and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey argued that Mr. Trump had an effective message, if only he would deliver it. For now, the campaign’s polling showed, too many voters described him in two words: “unqualified” and “racist.”

 

Mr. Trump bowed to his team’s entreaties, according to four people with detailed knowledge of the meeting, who described it on the condition of anonymity. It was time, he agreed, to get on track.

 

Nearly two months later, the effort to save Mr. Trump from himself has plainly failed. He has repeatedly signaled to his advisers and allies his willingness to change and adapt, but has grown only more volatile and prone to provocation since then, clashing with a Gold Star family, making comments that have been seen as inciting violence and linking his political opponents to terrorism.

 

Advisers who once hoped a Pygmalion-like transformation would refashion a crudely effective political showman into a plausible American president now increasingly concede that Mr. Trump may be beyond coaching. He has ignored their pleas and counsel as his poll numbers have dropped, boasting to friends about the size of his crowds and maintaining that he can read surveys better than the professionals.

 

In private, Mr. Trump’s mood is often sullen and erratic, his associates say. He veers from barking at members of his staff to grumbling about how he was better off following his own instincts during the primaries and suggesting he should not have heeded their calls for change.

 

He broods about his souring relationship with the news media, calling Mr. Manafort several times a day to talk about specific stories. Occasionally, Mr. Trump blows off steam in bursts of boyish exuberance: At the end of a fund-raiser on Long Island last week, he playfully buzzed the crowd twice with his helicopter.

 

But in interviews with more than 20 Republicans who are close to Mr. Trump or in communication with his campaign, many of whom insisted on anonymity to avoid clashing with him, they described their nominee as exhausted, frustrated and still bewildered by fine points of the political process and why his incendiary approach seems to be sputtering.

^^^ Interesting. 

 

From someone covering Trump yesterday...Donald Trump: "I hope I win. I'm going to feel very, very foolish if I don't win." Donald Trump, real quote: "We're going to go quickly, because I want to get the hell out of here. I want to go home."

 

Edit: I bet if Hillary said that last part, we'd have to hear about her health "troubles." If not from an inaccurate news site, then from Trump himself.

Hillary's lucky that Trump opened his cakehole today as otherwise the news coverage likely would have been this:

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/10/us/politics/hillary-clinton-rally-orlando-nightclub-shooters-father.html?_r=0

 

I totally believe her people that they didn't invite him there or know he would be there, but it's very sloppy that he was let in.

Well, IA with you 100%...but Trump had Mark Foley, the congressman who had to resign because he was sending sexually explicit emails to young interns and aides sitting right behind him at a rally 2 days later. So it's like they canceled each other out. The connection with HRC's aide in the state dept. and the connection to the Clinton Foundation would be getting so much coverage if dumbass would STHU for 10 minutes. And I'm voting for HRC.

#KatrinaPiersonHistory go to twitter and just read some of the tweets if you just need a belly laugh today. it's based on what she said this morning.....that Obama and HRC invaded Afghanistan.

This is so sad. And I looked at the comments from the AOL article of this, and they are disgusting. Comments like "1 down, however many more million to go." Article's been updated. The second victim has died. 

Some random things from Trump's rally per Twitter and transcripts...

 

Trump talking about Bill, Monica and the dress tonight.

 

A woman protester interrupted, Trump called her crazy person screaming but didn't know if she was friend or foe, but then he got a closer look and determined she was nuts. Says she looks like Hillary, tells her to say hi to Bill. 

 

Trump tells crowd he might lie to them like Hillary but he won't lie to Giacomo, a Make a Wish kid who wants to be part of Trump's campaign. He tells him he's gonna build that wall and crowd yells Mexico is going to pay for it. He's got some serious wall people. 

 

He calls NY Times garbage and dishonest. Wants to take away their credentials. He thinks maybe the Washington Post can get theirs back though. 

 

He announces he is no longer running against CrookedHillary but instead the Crooked Media. 

 

If you don't elect him, he will never speak to you again (Connecticut). He loves them though and other states too but will never forgive them. Imagine all time, money, energy wasted if you lose... 

 

You can't make this stuff up.... *sigh*

I think one of the funniest things he's said is if he loses he's going to take a long vacation and go back to living his great life (I'm paraphrasing). I bet certain members of the RNC are choking on that. He's flat out saying losing is no skin off his nose, while all these other suckers have to live with the results of his sh*tty campaign.   Can you imagine HRC saying "Well, if I lose I'll go back to making more money in an afternoon than most people owe on their mortgages. No biggie".
