Gotta admit: The press that made him is just as willing to bbq him: CNN

By any conventional standard, Donald Trump just blundered through the worst three days of any presidential candidate in living memory.

Showing a characteristic refusal to back down from a fight, Trump took the almost unthinkable step of publicly escalating a feud with the parents of fallen US solider, Capt. Humayun Khan, who blasted Trump at last week's Democratic convention as unfit for the presidency.

1. they're doing their best to beat the hillary lied about the emails to death

at least TEN times today they ran that torpedo into her ship of state, with only TWO rebuttals, and after the last one, by Brian Fallon, in the morning, not ONE segment had another side of the story.

Just this moment, some exFiorina surrogate just hit this nail AGAIN, and Chris Hayes just let it pass by without comment!

that would be about 16-17 of these little narrative-supporting misstatements since mid morning

do your JOB, chris, and make them at least admit there's another side to this story, like Comey prosecuting her by press conference, which started the ball rolling

I just don't get why they let this crap happen

[ronnie624]

7. They want it neck and neck, coming down the back stretch.

Their goal is to attract viewership for advertisers, not to inform the public about important matters.

I absolutely detest cable 'news'.

[TrishaJ]

14. I turned it off years ago

And much better for my blood pressure and mental health. The "swift boat" scum in 2004 did it for me. That's ALL CNN covered.

[Skittles]

2. yeah, finally, AFTER they help him win the nomination

UGH

[Warren DeMontague]

4. Sure, but Skittles- now they're stuck with him.

And when he implodes, maybe he takes a big chunk of the downticket GOP chances with him.

A win-win.

[sofa king]

9. My objection to that is...

... that he's such a liability because he's so manifestly unqualified for the job. I've seen this before. Bush* was also an idiot narcissist who couldn't complete a coherent sentence and who was manifestly unqualified for the job.

And he proved it through eight years as President which nearly destroyed the United States, because a good chuck of the American people are at least as stupid.

We should never allow asshole-Americans another chance to vote their conscience. I say we go after him like he's the second coming of Hitler, with the object of pissing him straight out of the race as soon as possible, and take the hit in Congress for giving the Republicans a do-over.

It's worth it. We have the years 2001-2009 to show us what happens if we fail to take Trump seriously.

[Yallow]

12. Compared To Trump Bush Would Be A Washington Or A Lincoln

At least W acted presidential.

Don the con? Not a chance.

[sofa king]

16. Yep.

His Presidency would be a crisis from the moment he took office. He would rely upon that crisis situation to stifle criticism and draw absolute power to himself. But unlike any other President, he wouldn't even have competent underlings to do the heavy lifting. It would be a shit-show from top to bottom, like everything he's ever done.

3. CNN attacking Trump, helps Trump

Plays right into the personae he is trying to cultivate.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. And Pence added more fuel to the fire today

in Reno. Peddling the same boat load of s**t.

[gwheezie]

6. Oh I knew it was coming

Trump had to know it was coming or he's an idiot.

[rufus dog]

8. Worst three days .....

I have $10 that says he will have three consecutive worst days in the next 100!

The pubbies aren't stepping in to take him out. I guarantee he will have even a bigger meltdown.

[Rex]

10. They know how to make money and will turn on their own.

Then push him right back up there, it is a money game for them.

[The Second Stone]

11. I can't even figure why Trump watched Mr. Khan's speech

other than that he thought it might be about him.

[mopinko]

13. said it before, i will say it again- they made a boodle building him up

they will make a boodle tearing him down.

[lindysalsagal]

15. And you'd think this brilliant businessman would have thought of that.....

[mopinko]

17. ikr?

i guess it never occurred to him that he might be crushed into dust.

[cbdo2007]

18. That's the goal of the media - they bring you up to tear you down. It's their business model.

Trump was great for business when he was trying to get the nomination. Now he's great for business in spectacularly losing the presidency.
