Trump is not just weird, he is unstable. (Original Post) madaboutharry May 2016 OP

Unstable implies a certain volatility and inconsistency...

He's consistently bat-shit crazy...

There is an old joke that the rich can be "eccentric" while the poor are "insane"... Of course the only difference is that people excuse crazy if you're rich enough... Trump would fill up a ledger with his ICD codes...

...if Trump implodes completely before the convention, and the GOP replaces him with someone who's just as extreme, but sane--even Cruz. It would give them too good a chance to win. Let him get the nomination, and take his craziness all the way to November...

He wears his instability right there on his face. I don't judge people by their outward appearance, but you can tell something is wrong with him just by looking at him.

I have seen a few video interviews of him lately where he is being interviewed by some teevee personality, i.e. Blitzer and Stephanopolis, and the contrast of his appearance to the interviewer is really remarkable. Blitzer and Stepanopolis look all polished, and neatly made up and put together. They ask questions in a clear and concise manner. Trump looks like some crazy guy. Hair...crazy. Makeup...crazy. Demeanor...crazy.

And I thought Mittens Romney was mentally challenged. Republicans have again chosen an unstable person as their nominee in a presidential election. Surely this pattern cannot continue.

But I totally agree. He looks mentally unstable. I dont't think he can handle the stressors of the GE much less a presidency. God help us all if that should happen.

When it all blows up they don't want there to be footage of them supporting Trump by name.
