(102,119 posts)Is it possible someone is pulling the strings to intentionally hurt the REPUGS? One could only hope.

(14,400 posts)would allow himself to be used that way on purpose. If he did I will reassess my views on him drastically following the election.
Something on this magnitude would be the ultimate electoral "dirty trick" and would be great revenge for the damage caused by such noted assholes as Lee Atwater and Roger Stone.

(4,459 posts)... I think that would be enough for him.
If it IS a rope-a-dope, I don't think it was planned to go this far. It would have been a "get in the race and embarrass them for a few months and then bow out" kind of plan, but it then mushroomed into what we're seeing now.
Not saying that it is a scam, but I think that more modest scenario was a possibility. Notice how he has really spent very little money other than flying around the country and being the center of attention? Hell, he does that anyway, right?

Does such a person exist in the House or Senate that is a con?

(15,374 posts)Both have the need to be in the spotlight all the time. Palin probably would accept an offer from Trumpster, but I think Trump realizes she's as much an attention whore as he is.

Although, I'm afraid of the American electorate right now. The stupid is very, very strong. The cynic in me says this is Trump's next desperate attempt to desperately throw the race he never really intended to be in at this point. But then, the hillbillies keep showing up at his rallies, and Palin will cause even more vermin to crawl out from under their rocks.
Democrats better get their asses out and VOTE! Even if it means holding your nose.

(5,901 posts)He introduced his daughter at Liberty U and asked her to stand up. Then told the students that Ivanka is a businesswoman and she knows China very well, and would be VERY TOUGH on them. VERY tough. So he's going to make her Secretary of State?
The beat goes on.
