???? Are you seriously saying that all three candidates should have shared a single bathroom? Just out of curiosity, in your opinion, what is the proper ratio of candidates to bathrooms? How many bathrooms should the R candidates have shared?

I never said share a stall. I presume that the bathroom was loaded with stalls? At least that was the complaint that I read.
I think Hillary really wishes she could face Trump since that guy would just get shredded and would even give Dems big majorities in both houses of Congress. Deluded Trumpers seem to think that America is full of angry uneducated white supremacists like themselves but if that were so, why did Obama win twice? Romney really maxed out that bigot vote and he still lost commandingly. Every 4 yrs has fewer racist white people and more minorities voting. I havent heard any Trumper yet explain to me how they expect Donald to get or exceed the 40% of the Hispanic vote Bush got in 2004.

As a moderate Republican this demographic transformation - especially in critical swing states like Colorado and Florida - is something I keep trying to explain to my fellow Republicans, especially those that lean towards the more conservative Tea Party fraction but they are seemingly oblivious. They think it's still 1980 and Ronald Reagan's 90% White electorate is the deciding factor in elections ... they don't realize that non-Hispanic Whites are down to 69% of the electorate. I fear the GOP is headed for a thumping in 2016, I think we will be able to retain the House (although I could see the party losing upwards of 20-30 seats) but the Senate is likely history. People need to realize that Romney maxed out the White vote but still lost badly and that should tell us something - it's time to expand the GOP coalition beyond angry White people stuck in a 1950s mentality living in the Deep South and the Midwest.
We will never see another Republican president unless we win at least 45% of the Hispanic vote. Screaming about deporting people's grandmothers, imposing mandatory English Only laws, and taking hardline positions against Puerto Rico's quest for statehood and efforts at debt restructuring is not going to accomplish this.
Give Trump credit. He has single-handedly made this by far the most entertaining campaign season in living history. I'd love to see him get the GOP nod to carry the amusement over into the general election.

Media execs are crossing their fingers, too. The POTUS race would be an absolute bore without Mr. Trump. No suspense, you know.

Even still, you realize that Hillary is a woman and there for wouldn't share a multiple stall bathroom with men?

Obama won in 2008 on the back of Bush policy failures and the economic meltdown especially with the young vote. Obama won in 2012 on the back of the ethnic vote and how much it is in swing states. People forget that some swing states have massive amounts of hispanic people living in them.
That said the damning part of what you posted is a real fear for congress. John McCain even fears the Trump blowback if he is on the ballot for his Senatorial race and he was someone Trump lambasted for being a POW in Nam. Now let's think about this for a second, a long term Republican Senator in a red state is fearing Trump blow-back for his race. That isn't a credible threat to the Republican majorities in both houses of Congress?

I'm a moderate Republican that is listed as an independent due to how far right we have gone. The 2013 government shutdown was my shock treatment to stop drinking the Kool-Aid all the time and think about what fiscal conservatism can actually do to us. Most just want to stop things rather than curb and ween off.
Then you have the Tea Party racists who want a more "states rights" way of doing things. We had that and for 100 years, states were able to impede on 14th amendment rights based on skin color. Do we really want to go back to that mentality? That and in the post-Civil Rights era, more and more whites are like me and not racist or at the least not overtly racist. However the Tea Party base besides a Herman Cain over here or a Dr. Ben Carson over there, are. Especially with their digs on Obama.

I agree because "it's forced others to talk about it." The problem is they other GOP candidates either go the same way as Trump and risk either claims of double talk, OR they get the mud Trump will have in the general elections; or they go the other way and seem like they are "out of touch" with the vocal Republican voters. It's a divisive game Trump is playing and it is playing into the hands of the Democrats. And you Trump supporters are playing right into it.

We'd still see some backroom 47% video pop up, some legitimate rape controversy or some other November surprise happen. These events ALWAYS does.

Because America is full of angry, VERY uneducated, black racists.

There's at least 6x the number of white supremacists since black people in general are only 11% of the population, not so sure how you came to believe blacks outnumber whites. You should probably do some learning outside viral emails and Facebook posts
I find it odd that Trump doesn't realize women go to the bathroom. Does he store his in his hair?
