That it had to get as bad as it did for them to do this, especially considering the new ads they were running that clearly played on the fears many people with deadly allergies like myself have, that the price systematically went up 600% over that period of time... Ugh.

 

The embarrassment from the Trump campaign, now daily, is unlike anything I've ever witnessed.

 

What we know about the charitable giving by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

Can't say it any better than that.

 

lol Trump doubling down on the "what do you have to lose" thing today, and also said "it can't get any worse" while talking about inner city crime.

Ummm....Yes, yes it can get worse. It used to be worse.

 

Excepts coming out from the Clinton speech tonight.

 

It's one of the dumbest lines I've seen uttered in a campaign. Maybe ever.

 

Trump: This is basically Watergate all over again.

Does he know what Watergate was? Hell, this time the DNC was broken into and those responsible got away with it and he encouraged more of it. But yeah, basically the same thing. Dumbass.

 

The chron interjections of facts are never not funny to me.

 

Who is that guy?

Oh yeah ... him:

Walsh, a former tea party congressman from Illinois and now a conservative talk radio host, tweeted in the wake of the Dallas shootings, "3 Dallas Cops killed, 7 wounded. This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you."

 

Seeing these back to back in the timeline.

 

I still firmly believe that this is his most well-formed appeal to POC.

 

Charles Blow had a good response to it earlier:

It is a lie because it is the most insidious kind of bigotry. It is the kind of bigotry that says I will knock you down while I pretend to pick you up. It says that I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the guy behind you or over your shoulder. It's the kind of bigotry that says I'm urinating on you and telling you to dance in the rain. This is the most horrible kind of bigotry. And the fact that people keep asking the same question, particularly to black commentators like me, is he reaching out to black people -- he is not reaching out to black people. There's nothing about this appeal that has any resonance with anyone black that I can even find. I even looked at other, the largest black websites I that could find just to see if anybody was taking this seriously. Not a single person that I could find was taking it – only people taking it seriously is white people. It is the moderate ones who say, I don't want to be the woman, man who votes for the racist guy. And if this guy can now change his opinion, I do want to be a conservative, but I don't want to be a conservative who votes for the racist guy. And now he's different. Well, actually, he's not different. He's not talking to us. He's pretending to talk to us as he talks to you. And this is an insult to all people of color, both black, Hispanic, and otherwise, because he is using us as pawns to get to you. You do not get an out. Know the guy was a bigot yesterday. He's a bigot today. He will be a bigot tomorrow, and if you vote for him, you're voting for a bigot. That's it.

 

This woman.

 

Kinda hard not to laugh at all the "told you so" jokes from a section of the GOP.

 

(90% say mind made up.)

 

the laughing. oh my goodness.

 

Why does the campaign keep sending her to the media? Every time it goes viral in the worst way. Oh, that's right, cause this isn't a real campaign.

Kinda wanted this to actually happen, because, why not: Trump temporarily missing from Minnesota ballot

 

this election is all but over

 

I like the "you tried to tell people I was basically dying so let me go over your actual history" speech.

 

This election cycle is bonkers
