Yes, and in addition, we've seen how Trump reacts under pressure and/or criticism. Totally freaks out. First the tweets start coming, then he starts whining at his rallies. He's not going to change. Manafort has been promising he would, but it isn't happening. He can only fake it for one teleprompter speech. Then when he gets hit with the criticism, he goes ballistic. It is so easy to set him off. I don't think this is the end of Trump U either. His ultra-sensitive reaction to this has shown his Achilles heel big-time.

He'll go out and scream about Bill Clinton and Obama, but it will not have the affect on them that hitting Trump where it hurts has on him. His thin skin is an advantage for his opponents. His terrible judgment has been on full display this week.

Yep. I think this is the tactic the Democrats should take. Just needle lil' Donnie, get under that thin, thin orange skin and then stand back and watch him explode. It will do more to point out how unfit he is to lead than any inanity he utters in the next six months. But the good news is, he will undoubtedly utter many, many new inanities as well.

Trump will defeat himself. He won't need much help. As this past week has so aptly illustrated.

She can't point to her 0 accomplishments for minorities in Washington.

So, we will see
She has plenty of accomplishments but you wouldn't acknowledge them so why bother.

At this point she just needs to be Not Trump - that's it!

Her and Bill are great at stealing money from students. At least Trump University was a great school.

Right--so he may stop talking about the judge as he's promised (still--very hard to believe), but others will keep talking and talking about it--he'll go nuts.

I just watched a group of Republicans spinning. One kept mentioning that they will have to control him--yuk, yuk good luck. The other explained how the rules can be ever so slightly changed at the convention to dump him, which cannot be discounted if the GOP sees things (including Congressional seats) slipping away due to Trump.

Great schools don't get sued for misrepresenting themselves and it was never a "University" as the NY Department of Education, told them to drop the name University in 2005 as it was deemed to be misleading.

Facts are stubborn and inconvenient things aren't they.

Hillary can not point to her track record as Secretary of State.

Hillary can not point to a thriving economy.

All she can point to is bias claims that Trump is racist, when Mexican is not a race, and the judge participates in a racially based club that supports illegal immigration.

Hillarys supporters are anti American, they burn our flag, and stomp on cop cars. Assault white women, and destroy property.

It shows the power of the substance behind Trumps campaign.....which questions the results of globalization on the American people.

Trump talks of powerful solutions to issues of illegal immigration and anti-american trade deals. This is drawing voters to Trump.

Democrats are panicked. They have no other alternatives besides anti-american violence.

People are finally waking up to the dishonest media....who spend their days talking about Trump university.....while burying reports on the Clintons scam with Laureate University (which is much worse).

Couldn't agree more and he no longer has the protection of 16 other candidates to shield him from the incoming, which will now be merciless and unabating between now and November. If the Repubteacans could have a "do over" they would take it in a minute.

Unfortunately for them, but good for the Dems the cake is baked, and this guy may wind up losing them the House at this point. WH and Senate gone!

Clearly more will follow, as this was quite predictable and has legs going forward.

Kiss the Presidency Goodbye Repubs, and more than likely the Senate as well. The race card and racial dog whistles work in primaries dominated by conservative repubs, but no longer in a general election.

Thanks go to "The Donald", for handing the Dems the Presidency on a silver platter, to a beatable Hillary Clinton.
We all descend into hell together if Hellary wins. But the election isn't over yet. I'll hold off on buying a ticket with a window seat until it is. When a known criminal can be elected the country is lost.
