Used to be “high end” and glittery “success”.

He has now associated himself with “low-brow”, and, pending the likely election results, a “loser”.

He and bunion from trumpbart might have designs on starting trump tv later on, but that audience is not going to generate near the revenues trump used to tied his name to.

Trump has returned to themes he used in the primary, rigged crooked system, violence if he didn’t get the nomination. I can only hope his business tanks after he looses in November (as it appears now). It would be just deserts IMO.

My typing skills suck

I heard the first fifteen minutes of Trump’s rally today. He used various forms of ‘rigged election’ about a dozen times.

This quit being funny a long time ago. He’s doing battlespace prep for his coming loss by questioning our democratic system and inciting his followers to consider the election illegitimate (unless of course he wins). Some of his more excitable followers are already talking about revolution, riots, etc

When does it become not OK to be a Trump supporter? Just the fact that he’s a sexual predator would have been enough, I would have thought.

I know, I know, so is BC. So don’t vote for HRC either.

Trump is walking a dangerous line. Can’t believe the stupod party nominated this sham of a reality star, this cruel narcissist, this betrayer of what I thought the party stood for.

Sorry for the uncharitablr tone I’m taking here. I was sickened by what I heard today and concerned some of the alt-right brownshirts are going to wreak havoc. I believe in our country still and don’t believe the alt rifht thugs’ impact will be lasting, but it’s still potentially going to get worse before it gets better.

The GOP has covered itself in shame this cycle.

Well, I’ll take 97%, although I’d much prefer 98% 🙂 .

By the way, I didn’t actually remember the details about Rubio from that long ago. It’s just that when I read your comment it wasn’t quite what I had recalled, and so I Googled it and the information came up pretty quickly.

Well, it might not be getting through to YOU or to many other fervent Trump supporters, but it’s getting through loud and clear to millions of other people who vote, and his poll numbers are dropping in important swing states.

I’m not sure anything gets through to his most fervent supporters.

What it says about voters is what I’ve been saying all along: some are desperate, some are gullible, some are misinformed, some are hopeful, some want to burn it all down, some are trusting, some are on the left but wanting to crossover in order to screw the right, some are Nazis, some are frustrated patriots, some are frightened—well, I could go on, but you get the picture. Some are several of these things at once.

And some didn’t vote for Trump in the primaries. In fact, the majority didn’t.

And that’s just the voters in the Republican primaries I’m describing.

I don’t feel hubris, either. I feel grief and frustration.

As for the Clinton victory, it speaks to the power of propaganda, the need for many people to feel they are do-gooders, growing cynicism, and in some cases fear of Trump as a loose cannon.
