His apology was pathetic! And after he does that he goes on about how bad BC is again…...

He's locked in to attacking the Clintons on Sunday. That will be a disaster for him.

^That about covers it, homey!

 

Trump has signposted his insanely stupid Clinton plan for Sunday. It is absolutely suicide and most of his team must know it. "Looks like the product of a plea bargain," Lawrence O'Donnell says of the video. Everyone hates it.

 

So far the unendorse count is at: Huntsman, Jason Chaffetz, Mark Kirk and... the governor of Utah whose name I can't remember.

 

Did Halperin really call in to MSNBC upset?

On Bill Maher tonight, I think it was either James Carville or Mark Cuban that predicts that Trump might quit soon. 

 

Does anyone see that happening?

[Vee]

I don't. Not without a [!@#$%^&*]-ton of money.

Actually, they can replace him at any point up until election day. For major party candidates, the name on the ballot is largely irrelevant. People are technically voting for the party's electors in that state, not the candidate themselves. If Trump were to step down (he must step down, the party can't rescind the nomination once it's been awarded), the RNC would choose a new nominee. They don't have to choose Pence or any of the people who were in the primaries. They can choose any registered Republican willing to do it. They could try to distance themselves from Trump by going with someone like Kasich, Romney or Jeb Bush, none of whom ever endorsed him. They would try to change the names on the ballots by election day but, if they can't, it doesn't matter. Any votes cast under Trump's name (like on absentee ballots that have already been sent out) would go to the new Republican nominee.

Halperin called MSNBC so upset he couldn't go on? and this !@#$%^&*] still has a job there?! REALLY?!?!

So ok what about people who still want to vote for him? Do they write in Trump or check the box off? Because many of the deplorables would still want to vote for him.

well voting has started. his name is on the ballots. I don't know how that goes but the party may have no choice but to keep him on the ballot. had this happened a couple months ago...sure. but now? 

[Soapsuds]

LMAO CNN is a circus right now!!

[Juliajms]

When Trump and Billy go in for that hug from Ari, it's just horrifying.  I feel like I'm watching someone be molested and I can't stop it.

[Vee]

 

Same. The full version of the video with them ogling her makes it so much worse.

[Roman]

I can't even imagine what Ari is going through. She gets off a bus with no idea what was said about her behind her back.
