And I suppose you think Hillary has, and is a good choice, even though she was "extremely careless" in the handling of classified information, which quite likely caused the death of four Americans in Benghazi?

Hillary is a worse choice than Obama was, and has promised to bring in hundreds of thousands of Muslim so-called "refugees" (90% of these people are Muslim). Out of all these "refugees," there are few women and children. Most are of military age. She would be America's Angela Merkel.

Is that a serious question? I can think of any number of things.

Trump will lose some of his support but suspect he will stay at around 38%. He will not break the 40% mark for the rest of this election. He has done more damage to the republican party than Clinton could ever inflict. He will cause them to lose the senate and I suspect they barely hold on the house. The republicans are a split party now and a lost is not going to bring them together. The party still has not come to the realization that the demographics in this country has changed and they cannot win a national election without enlarging their tent. Trump supporters will never accept this fact. The republicans will have 4 years to get it together and I clearly don't see how they are going to do it. Things are going to get worse for the party after the election.

Oh, please!

And not even the "intellectual" positions?

Look. What Trump said didn't harm anyone. Bill Clinton did harm people. He is a rapist. And Hilary has stood by him.

What Trump said was "locker room" braggadocio. Most men have engaged in this at some time in their lives, especially in their youth, but older men do it too, especially after a few beers! Give me a break! I've been around them. You're naive if you think they don't.

That's your opinion, based on nada.

Hillary will be on the defensive, as Trump again attacks her record. She will paste on the smug smile to try to make it look as though she's unaffected, along with the usual forced laughter. She was very uncomfortable the last time. This will be no different. And I suspect she's hoping there are no tapes out there of her vulgar mouth. She doesn't dare bring this up with Trump.

She'll have a teleprompter again too. She was very scripted, as she always is. Without a script, she lies about her lies.

The only people he's alienated are those who weren't going to vote for him anyway ... Democrats.

Oh, please. You're so obviously in the tank for Hilary. You've been drinking the Kool-aid.

And what's Hillary throwing? Soft balls? Hillary is a criminal, and she can't follow the rules. She thinks she's above the law, and she apparently isn't capable of knowing the difference between classified info, and unclassified. That's a huge liability. If Trump plays it right, he'll keep hammering that point. She's dangerous.
And she and Obama together 'built' ISIS.

He has still not done anything to seriously hurt our country, That is how I see it.
I was thinking about this last night as I was getting ready to go to sleep. That's usually when I do my clearest thinking. I remember a long time ago something that my mother said.

I was a kid and had heard another kid saying a bad word. I was at the age where words like that were still shocking. I went to my mom and told her exactly what the kid said. Yes, I told her the word.

She told me that it was just as bad that I repeated it as it was for the kid to say it. And it fits here, too.

It is just as bad for the media and the Hillary campaign to put that out there...since, you know, it's SO offensive, to subject millions of people with such delicate sensibilities to the horrors of men talking about women...how they really talk when they know there's no females around...as it was for a private businessman, (as he was at the time) to say it.

They are just as "disgusting" for repeating it (if that's what you call what Trump did) as Trump for saying it.

I could care less if - they are getting closer - the entire GOP establishment, elected officials etc turn on Trump. I do not want another Clinton presidency, particularly this one, who is dangerous.

Dangerous in the nominees for the Supreme Court.

Dangerous in her diplomatic failure history.

Dangerous in her willingness to endanger the United States security, to protect her double dealing machinations.

Dangerous in her Machiavellian cynicism.

Trump; not a particularly good man, nor candidate, but he is the best chance at #NeverClinton.

I like the disruption of Trump's comments as "locked room language", what nobody wants to admit is that it is in reality " Union Hall language" and gee, I wonder how that will play with the blue collar middle class.
