Like Jay Sherman's standee that constantly cries, "Buy my book! Buy my book!," only it's Stinker whining "Witch hunt! It's rigged! Witch hunt! It's rigged!" And if they wanted to, they could mount it on a little track to make it go back and forth behind Joe while he tries to speak over it.

LOL…after 15 minutes MSNBC has finally cut him off. I haven’t listened to his chit for ages but it’s difficult to imagine him more off the rails. I’ll bet he goes on for another hour or more rambling around whatever comes to mind.

What’s a zoo.

He's got five full months to go!

Personally I hope he croaks sometime after most of the ballots have been printed, but I'd be happy if he croaked today, too.

He knows if you keep drumming the BS over and over people will believe it. How to combat this guy? Should we always have someone ready to rebut him every time he opens his mouth. He is on a propaganda parade 24/7, he should be getting beaten in the polls by 20%, but he's right there, mainly because of the BS being fed to the people. How do we combat that? Are those of us on the center left or left the only ones who can see he's a deranged madman?

I always hit mute whenever he's on, and look away from the screen until he's gone. He makes me sick, too.

as the words tend to be meaningless. He just repeats the same old tired crap over and over again.

I'm seeing a defeated man who got very little sleep (if any) last night.

Quite frankly, he always looks like hell. A REAL billionaire would wear tailored suits and normal-sized ties.

Yesterday, it seemed to me that his clown tie grew even longer!

Trump makes me think of a few times in my life when I thought I looked good, but then I got a glimpse of myself in a window I was passing, "My god, what on earth was I thinking?" Apparently that never happens to Trump.

He is the most photographed man on the planet and yet he never sees how clownish and ridiculous he looks. With his money, he could have the world's best makeover, but I guess that wouldn't match the Robert Redford vision he carries in his pathetic little brain.

in his book and it really was rather bizarre.

In the HBO TV show "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty", John C. Reilly's character has a similar hairstyle and they showed how he fixed it. Definitely looked like Trump's strange mess. One side has to be unusually long so it can be combed over. It requires a lot of time, effort, and hairspray!

He's going to use all his tricks, lies, and outrage from a lifetime of practice. It will be all out in the open now--everything he is and has always been.
Take a good look at a monster. The psychopath.
Now, lock him up!

I suppose he believes it keeps the wolves at bay, but part of him knows it is not true. He is a broken, pathetic man.

It is all downhill from here on.

It's the uncertainty of his "Brand" fungibility that gives him the night sweats. This will cause him to rise and to go out to the cold, dark wasteland of the dumbassphere, there to bloviate in the wee hours so the naive will provide his income at a level he needs it to be.

I mean, come on: that idiot hasn't had rails to be on in decades. May I remind you this is a guy whose rhetoric caused someone to drive from North Carolina to DC with a loaded AR-15 to break up a child sex slave ring in the basement of a pizza parlor that has neither a child sex slave ring nor a basement.
