The most recent blunder has been doubling down on his cruel comments toward ex-Ms. Universe Alicia Machado. I just watched an interview with her and she said she is willing to show her tax returns. LOL! His misogyny is off the charts and well documented. I don't know how he expects to win when he alienates women. Expect about 75% of women to vote against him in the election. His running mate Pence is a vocal opponent of reproductive rights for women and opposes Planned Parenthood. He keeps digging a bigger hole for himself with women. It sure makes Clinton's job easier and that was evident in his debate meltdown...especially the last 30 minutes which is the worst I have seen in a long time.

Prior to this, he has also insulted former veteran John McCain, and Gold Star parents: the Khans. He shows no remorse about these comments. He has little chance of getting many votes from veterans now.

He also insulted Judge Curiel's Mexican ethnicity, who is presiding over the Trump University lawsuit. He continues to refuse to release his tax returns. His treatment of vendors and contractors in the past, with their unpaid bills for work done on his projects, is reprehensible. Not only that, he bragged about wanting the housing market to collapse back in 2006 in last night's debate, just so he could make some money. Smart business he said, even though a lot of people suffered. That was very telling and frankly sick.

Is this who we want as the President? Someone who is narcissistic and despises women? Those ads on TV with direct quotes by him about women should make us sick to our stomach. We can't have a misogynist in the highest office in the USA in the year 2016. Even with the email scandal baggage, I think Clinton is a better choice. I wish Gary Johnson had qualified for the debates, but it appears to be a two candidate race now.

Is he so stubborn that he won't listen to his advisors? Or perhaps the advisors are OK with his narcissistic behavior and insults toward a majority of our citizens (do the math...women + blacks + Mexicans + veterans is easily a majority)?

Misogyny, racist, bigot. The battle cries of liberals when they see their candidate's election chances slipping away.

It's really something to see, isn't it?

Guessing you did not see the debate last night with Trump's embarrassing behavior/meltdown in the last 30 minutes. Some prominent conservatives in the GOP like John Kasich, Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, Mitt Romney, and George Will also refuse to support him. Nice try with the "liberal" smear, though.

There are smart conservatives that consider relevant information and then there are those on the right that will blindly follow Trump and hold him to no accountability regardless of what he says or does.

In Trump's case, he proves the misogyny and bigotry too frequently to be ignored. If he had apologized for his treatment of Ms. Machado, I may have considered changing my view, but he chose to double down on the insults yesterday. Add to that the insults to Gold Star parents, a former beauty pageant winner and the refusal to release tax returns. In the debate, he bragged about the two years he paid zero taxes as good business and said he was glad the housing market collapsed about a decade ago just so he could make some extra money. Tough luck to the people that were hurt economically.

Trump only cares about himself. He could care less about the American people. Being elected President is a narcissistic ego trip for him; not an opportunity to serve the American people. That is frankly obvious at this point. He is not even trying to disguise it any longer.

Then add a terrible temperament and we have someone who should never have the nuclear codes.

Yeah I agree with a lot of things you said. Especially how he seemed to show no remorse for not paying those contractors, no regret for the names he called women and seemed proud for not paying taxes.

It was very telling of his lack of morals.

His "Miss Piggy" comment was in context of being the owner of the BEAUTY PAGEANT she willfully competed in and won. Heaven forbid a woman wants to win and represent a beauty pageant while objecting to being objectified. Get real.

Would anyone object to say Arnold saying the super buff and ripped winner/representative of the Arnold Classic quickly let himself go and became fat and flabby relative to the physique that made him the winner? What about the coach of a NBA basketball team saying their new lottery pick is eating too much and becoming a fat arse that can't jump as high and run as fast? Let's face it, when you use your body to compete and achieve success, that body is ripe for criticism if you let it go.

When you compare that to Hillary's complete lack of ANY remorse on getting 4 US Marines and a US Ambassador killed due to her negligence, well, not paying a contractor really pales in comparison.

"Drunk uncle." I'm a lot less technical than you are.

Hillary should feel compassion and remorse for those lives lost in Libya, I agree.

Why do all Trump supporters overlook things he says that are wrong? or things he has done at the expense of someone else-- for his gain?
