OK. This is twice in a week where WE are wrong and don't understand 'sarcasm' even though he goes on for days doubling and tripling down of his statements. Me thinks it is the Donald and his supporters that don't understand 'sarcasm'.

1892: there was a sucker born every minute (attrib P.T. Barnum)

Now he is appealing to Evangelicals in Biden's early stomping grounds, saying that Mormon's don't seem to 'understand, him, and he needs their support to 'counteract' the damage he has done to himself. Quite a novel approach.

Who really believes that Trump has even the remotest connection to their religious beliefs? He is amoral and self serving.

The GOP has to decide, once and for all, whether his growing unpopularity and questionable fund raising ability is worth the damage his campaign is 'trickling down' on them. Are his supporters the one's they REALLY want representing and 'speaking' for the party?

It will take many years for me to support the Gop again. Hope a good, viable Independent candidate emerges over the next few years so I don't have to vote for the 'lesser of 2 evils. again.

With barely a word out of your mouth you show your bigoted tendencies, and near helpless level of analysis. Utah is socially conservative. Let me show you how to lampoon with original imagery instead of a lame cliche` . That is like seeing water in Salt Lake City and figuring its perfect for a fresh water fish. However I can see why this upsets you since the left has found new love in social conservatism linking up with extremist, misogynistic, lethally homophobic, murderously intolerant Muhammadans. Seems like you turned a new leaf with guns too. Its not that you hate guns. Its just that you hate it when they are not randomly shooting people with them, being the champion of ghetto gun play and night club hit squads. Perhaps that's why the Clinton controlled rag outed gay Olympians:

This hot mess is swirling the pan and right now it is every Republican man or woman in local elections for themselves. You cannot always save everyone and at this point rank and file members of the party are more worried about their own seats than who wins the WH.
Its called civil war from within from the alt-right which has more spine then the limp cucks that tried to reform the jack booted neocon, oligarchs juiced on the financial system now in control of the democrats. Now you are trying to make spent and subdued a selling point.

Yeah enjoy your victory. The pod people look just like the ones who used to be progressives, but at least they ain't orange eh?

They quote him verbatim - I realize that may seem unfair as he can't string two words together to convey a lucid point of any sort, but there you have it.

Trump's problem is that the new Trump story is "Look at the trainwreck!", and he seems honestly hurt and surprised that his previous allies in the press turned out to be allies of convenience only.

By now, if you haven't excluded from Trump campaign events, you're probably not a very serious political journalist.

Any one of those or all of them in the case of Drumpf, are the stuff of failure as you spend virtually all of your time clarifying, correcting, justifying, apologizing and deflecting to the point that even the most loyal of acolytes come to doubt their choice.
Very true. When you're explaining, you're not campaigning.

Hillary hates Christians, and champions Islamists.

This is the flag of the Liberals.

See the Waco kills.

See the Yugoslavia kills.

She is obviously part of the funding of the ISIS.

Putin allowed the reestablishment of the Christian Orthodox.

Israel is bunkered.

Yeah--he'll need one after all these months of 'sacrificing' reality tv to run a bad campaign and offend half of the country.

Katy Tur of NBC said this morning that she quietly received secret service protection (escorted to her car) after a Trump rally when he called her out, by name, to the crowd for something she wrote about him. She said the hostility in the room was palpable and she had never been so frightened doing her job.

Im surprised no one has been killed yet at these Brownshirt rallies.

Trump Playbook

Make an outrageous remark to ensure media attention.

Double down on the remark to sustain media attention.

Play the victim card

Blame the media

Claim it was sarcasm/ joke and media is too stupid

Trump iterated Obama/ Hillary being the foundation of Isis thing at least 10 times. Trump friendly media attempted to help him articulate or excuse his remark as sarcasm. Trump doubled down.

Then this morning he tweets it was sarcasm. Ha Ha.

Trump has demonstrated all the criteria for a Narassistic Personality Disorder his entire adult life.

This behavior has and continues to provide cover for Hillary.

This election is unlike anything we have ever seen. No telling which candidate will be elected.

I fantasize that the write- in vote for Micky Mouse will win.

Only thing certain is we deserve the people we elect.
