I'm starting to think Trump is trolling the GOP. No way he could

[JRLeft]

possibly be this dumb, callous, or wreckless, right? He's the worst candidate in American history. This has to be intentional.

It just doesn't make any sense to fuck up this badly.

What are your plans opinions?

1. Well, they say

that Bill Clinton encouraged him to run.

[Hortensis]

13. You guys! So far I can't believe the answers here.

The man is a textbook case of personality disorder. He may have other problems also, but this is the one constantly displayed in so many ways.

Trump literally cannot think, feel or react like a normal person. Some very well regarded experts have put their formal ethics aside to step forward and say so because he demonstrates this debility virtually every day before billions of appalled watchers, including them.

Yes, a mentally impaired man is one election away from the presidency. If this were a tragicomedy we could laugh knowing it could never happen in real life.

Read or scan this and see how many characteristics remind you strongly of Trump. Those able to laugh are also missing some good jokes on the GOP and his would-be handlers, the dastardly schmucks.

2. If he's a Manchurian candidate (ie - a puppet for Manaford, working for Putin) he doesn't intend to

to actually be president in anything but name, and in his mind he doesn't need to learn any facts or change anything about himself. They pay the village idiot to run for election, but they intend to be the ones pulling the strings.

3. Don't forget he was birther-in-chief. Demanded Obama's transcripts to 'prove' the President

was not intelligent.

The guy is dead serious.

[Sheepshank]

4. I thought the JPR were for Trump?

I must have misread.

[apnu]

5. I've known a few wealthy conservatives and republicans

Yes, Trump can be, and probably is that dumb. I know people worth millions and they believe every single wack conservative conspiracy, including chem-trails. They are rich, insulated, and clueless.

[Moostache]

6. He does not care because he believes one thing...

Angry White Men (and their submissive Stepford Wives) will carry him to victory.

That is the only thing that explains his behavior and statements; well, that and his innate inability to EVER retract a statement or publicly admit he lied about anything.

Trump is the walking embodiment of Fox News ethos...say it loud, say it repetitively and NEVER, EVER retract anything for any reason.

His staccato cadence and simplistic answers and cliched pronouncements ("Disastrous!" "Sad!" "Incompetent!&quot are tailor made for low-information, angry racist voters; and his false bravado and angry bluster are emotional outlets for people who have been played by the GOP for decades only to see themselves left behind, their religious nonsense discarded and platitudes delivered to them instead.

"Politically Correct" in the world Trump appeals to is not really what many seem to think...it is the same as the idiot from Alaska intoning about religious freedom and persecution of "free speech" when trying to imply that bigots and religious zealots who discriminate openly should be free from the CONSEQUENCES of their speech and behavior.

Its not terribly complicated: GOTV and Hillary may approach a double digit win and an EC landslide...be complacent and self-assured of victory (like us Democrats have been in the past) and we awake on November 9th as a nation in peril of losing the republic. And that is not hyperbole...

8. +1 n/t.

7. It seems like trolling

Because he doesn't care about the Rep. Party, he only cares about himself. I would agree he is trolling the R's that have spoke out against him. It's pretty clear that unless you are 100% in his corner 100% of the time you will be a enemy of his and fair game.

[Orsino]

9. Only in that he's never been serious about governing.

He might think he's serious, but he doesn't seem to be able to concentrate on anything other than his primal urges for attention and petty vengeance.

He isn't knowledgeable, competent or honest, but he is being himself.

[VulgarPoet]

10. I'm half convinced he's just a stalking horse for Clinton. eom

[Sunlei]

11. That's the way he is, that's why I said last year he will destroy all republicans on stage with him.

and so it was

[ehrnst]

12. He may be trying to get the RNC to remove him from the ticket

That way he could get out of it without saying he was a quitter, or that he was losing.

[sofa king]

14. He's just another narcissist.

He's no more stupid or worse than George W. Bush was at this point in 2000. At this point in 2000, Bush's campaign was issuing written remarks that differed completely from Bush's mangled statements, saying effectively, "you cannot take this candidate's thoughts or statements or actions as a sign of our actual intentions." And then they stole the election and allowed the worst attacks on the US since World War II, proving themselves correct.

They are the same kind of person, Trump and Bush, the only major differences being ones of upbringing and control. Bush had the more polite upbringing, Trump demands more personal control, and has the six bankruptcies to show for it.

Both are perfectly happy savaging the superior public service records of their opponents; both are fundamentally dishonest; both are totally incompetent; both are astonishingly easy to manipulate; both are racists; both are wealthy, privileged, and indifferent to the plight of average Americans; both will crash the economy; both will start wars to divert attention from their failings; both will reward the rich and foreign nations at the expense of average Americans; both will burn forever in Hell, if we are so lucky as to have one.
