Huh. Well, maybe stop insulting Gold Star families; maybe stop scaring the beejesus out of people with your proclivity towards dropping nukes on crying babies; stop making kissies all over Putin's behind; stop being a racist; stop lying. Maybe that would, you know, be a good start?

Heddah Cheddah is delusional.

It's all downhill, all downhill from here, my friend -- err, "comrade," I should say. All national and most swing state polls show him sinking like a stone.

His supporters surely must be discouraged -- they certainly have made themselves scarce here of late. Maybe they took my earlier advice and booked flights to North Korea where I am so utterly certain they'd be much, much happier.

I guess my question is: what the heck did you see in this loser in the first place? Huh? Huh? I think the greater lesson is: It's ALWAYS a bad idea to bet against America, the greatest nation on earth,

He insulted a federal judge. Why did he do that?

Trump acknowledged the poll numbers, things his supporters refuse to.

If he had responded to Mr. Khan just once before moving on to his policy differences with Clinton, he would have avoided the controversy and maybe not trail in the polls by 9%. Instead, he attacked Mr. Khan's wife, who said NOTHING at the DNC. He then resorted to numerous angry rants and tweets attacking these Gold Star parents. Very poor judgement. He has no one to blame but himself.

He is making the same mistake that a lot of his supporters seem to be making. That rally size translates into national support.

No, he didn't need to address it at all. All he needed to do was ignore it and move on. He seems to believe that he has to personally respond to any level of criticism though. He did the same thing in his rally today. Saw a ad made talking about the comments he made about Megyn Kelley and that disabled reported. Then had to focus on it at his rally. As long as the dems keep drawing him out and he keeps responding this makes it harder for him to actually woe undecided voters. And the time left is quickly starting to run out.

Trump is an insult to the intelligence of anyone with an IQ over 65.

Exactly! By all accounts, Hillary should be having a bad week. Instead, all of Trumps gaffes have taken over the news cycle since Saturday and have given Hillary a huge bump in the polls. The blueprint is pretty clear if I was a democratic strategist. Just keep poking the bear and let him bury himself.

If you're running for president you SHOULD think "....why we're not leading by more"

To think otherwise means you don't believe in your message.
