Trump called Colin Powell a loser.

It is obvious to any one listening that Trump knows very little about anything, but one thing he does know a lot about is losing.

He has lost so much money playing at being a businessman that he declared bankruptcy 6 times.

He has been married 3 times, so far.

He lost money running a casino.

He lost the ability to borrow money from respectable banks because of his habit of failing to repay loans.

And in 2016, he lost the popular vote.

So Trump may know nothing about most things, but he does know what it takes to be a loser.

a national prestige position, then turned around and became Sec of State AFTER that.

Yeah, he's totally a "loser."

He already used up "Most overrated general of all time" with Mattis. It's not as though Trump is very clever at coming up with scathing nicknames or insults. He has a stockpile of childish chides and comments, and then he's lost.

In fact, there are a lot of people turning on Trump - and getting publicly insulted by him in return - that many conservatives respect.

I have to believe that for many of these not-completely-insane conservatives, at some point they mentally, maybe subconsciously, compare Trump and Powell (or other similar popular conservative), and suddenly think" "Wait. No." And they realize they just can't cast a vote for Trump again.

Trump is manifestly incompetent, possibly deranged. The most deluded and racist of his followers might not see it, but most of us do.

Have something he's interested in.

On a related note to your OP, the 'd' word, deranged...

I think that and a combo/super-sized of descriptives still don't cut it.

Each and everyday Heaven hears me crying out to end all this madness we find ourselves in. Exhausting! Take the dammm AF 1 to mother Яus and stay there dont come back the coast is lovely this time of year.
