In 2-3 days the Cheeto comment will blow over and The MSM will be following him like puppy dogs

[kimbutgar]

Can you imagine the outrage if Hillary suggested second amendment remedies against Cheeto? Fox would be blaring this on a 24 hour loop. Just when I think Cheeto goes too low he goes lower. He's practically a gopher now.

The guy is Teflon. Our media wants that horse race so they'll forgive him in the next couple of days. Profits over people are our medias mantra.

1. NO ..It won't blow over...this is his/almost any candidates... worst comment..

[kimbutgar]

3. He gets a pass all the time.

I don't see how it's different. He has crossed the lines so many times my head is spinning and his supporters won't give up on him.

[Hortensis]

15. There are advantages to watching the corrupted

hacks on MSM TV. They've started, for the first time, reporting fact checks on political remarks. Trump's outrageous remarks are being reported for what they are, instead of just "some people say this" and "but some feel that" for phony equalizations.

I doubt this will be permanent, unfortunately, or at least as much as it should be, but maybe... For now, we are seeing a sea change.

And his hard-core supporters are doubling down, but they are forced to defend themselves from all sides now.

[Trust Buster]

2. History is replete with citizens not taking a tyrant's threats seriously. I fear we lost our

country today.

[MineralMan]

4. No. You are wrong about that.

He has committed political suicide. He may not know it, but that is what he did today.

RIP, Donald Trump. Your political aspirations are dead and finished.

[kimbutgar]

5. Mineral man I really hope so

But I don't feel confident about the media who wants a horse race. I saw Halperin and he was defending Cheeto and this comment.

[Stuart G]

7. I agree completely..."political suicide"

kinda like that idiot in Missouri..

..a woman who is raped can stop conception...and make sure there is no baby..She can make her body keep that from happening....Todd Akins.. total political suicide.. Before that statement..he had an outstanding chance of beating sitting senator.. Claire McCaskill

Afterwards...he got 37 percent of the vote..she got 51 percent..

[Ace Rothstein]

18. Agreed

I'm actually worried about them pulling the nomination from him after this.

His polling numbers are going to crash even further next week.

[dubyadiprecession]

6. This is only the beginning of the week, cheeto will be mooning the cameras by the end of it...

He is only capable of being elected president of a lunatic asylum.

[brush]

8. No. This is more than a 2-day story. Just as the Khan story lasted for into a second . . .

week, this will extend longer than that.

He was already losing badly, this just effectively ended Trump's campaign.

Stick a fork in him.

[SeattleVet]

9. This one will blow over, but only because he'll say something even MORE outrageous.

He can't help putting his foot in his mouth every chance he gets ( I was going to say 'stepping on his dick' but, well, you know...tiny hands and all...).

[nolabear]

10. Not this time.

[HERVEPA]

11. Nope. No. No way.

[Mz Pip]

12. His surrogates will spin his way out of this

This is just another inflammatory remark that will have a couple of days of publicity.

I hope I'm wrong.

[GulfCoast66]

13. This won't go away

The Media and PTB are just now getting their heads around it and are making sure they heard it correctly. And when they hear the entire quote in context there is no denying what he was saying.

The shit storm hits tomorrow.

[kimbutgar]

14. Keep talking me off the ledge

I am so afraid that Cheeto could be elected by the lunatics.

My sister who is a npr listening liberal who talked me down about Romney the other day she said she was afraid of Cheeto. I hope she is wrong.

[TwilightZone]

16. I think this one is different. It's also just the latest point in a trend.

Even if it's nothing but pandering (which it probably was - not even Trump is that much of an idiot), it's extraordinarily irresponsible. I don't think this one will be easy to explain away.

Also, Trump's already been trending downward. This won't help.

[Johnny2X2X]

17. This will be an issue for a month.

This is a big deal. Even Dim Don knew it as he tried to walk it back right after.

This is offensive to every American who values Democracy.

[ailsagirl]

19. I don't know how it will be in a few days but right now...

ALL the MSM are covering this in their evening news-- as the first story.

NBC
ABC
CBS
PBS

Even BBC has it as their number one story.

(Not sure about CNN but they certainly carried the story online)
