I want the Trump campaign to be a complete, broken dysfunctional mess by late October.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

I want a "Hitler in the bunker" mentality. I want to revel in the inevitable tell-all book with all the juicy details--who was at whose throat, and all the crazy, delusional statements on Trump's part.

[DetlefK]

1. That "Hitler in the bunker"-moment will happen.

During the final days of WWII, Hitler kept coming up with new strategies in his bunker, using armies that had already been wiped out.

1. Trump refuses to admit any failure or shortcoming on his part.

2. Trump is already setting up excuses how this election will be stolen from him.

These are the imaginary armies Trump is mobilizing for his victory. He's using imaginary supporters for his strategies and he refuses to admit that he doesn't have the necessary number of supporters.

7. Still nasty and viscious to the end

If you drove into Berlin in 1985 you could see the Tomb of the unknown soldiers. 70,000 dead Russians and Poles and other allies who died just taking Berlin!

So do not not underestimate trumps potential to inflict serious damage even more than he has.

2. All losing campaigns end up his way for the most part

its a winner takes all proposition.

That said, I would not expect a blowout unless Trump really gets a roll of pouring gas on himself and lighting it and does even more abhorrent shit than he has to this point.

He now has the same level of support from republicans that Romney has, and while Hillary is going to see some MUCH needed reversal of trends and some movement back in her direction from the debate, we are seeing and hearing the overwhelming majority of the jackasses support basically saying "I know he is a racists, sexist, blathering con man, but ... ... .... ... Benghazi!"

Sadly, this election is defined.

Roughly half the country either is complete koolaid drinking republican who thinks that voting republican is paramount to saving humanity from the evil liberal boogyman or just flat out hate filled, angry people who knowingly are going to vote Trump or not vote Hillary to give this country the middle finger.

12. No where near half...

Trump's base is maybe 30%. Throw in the usual die-hard Repubs who'd vote for overflowing Porta-potty (R-Shithole) and he gets maybe 40-42%.

The Repub base has been shrinking, not growing. I really want Clinton to get 50+% of course. I really want that, and if Trump melts down like he should, we could make some inroads in the House and hopefully flip the Senate.

[Cosmocat]

18. Yes, roughly half

"Roughly half the country either is complete koolaid drinking republican who thinks that voting republican is paramount to saving humanity from the evil liberal boogyman or just flat out hate filled, angry people who knowingly are going to vote Trump or not vote Hillary to give this country the middle finger."

The people who don't vote Hillary is going to be close to and perhaps more than half the country.

3. Watch news outlets and listen. They are already blaming each other. Complete collapse soon.

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. How about by Oct 1?

They seem hardly functional now.

Wish granted.

[Jade Fox]

5. Did you see Chris Hayes' show last night?

Apparently, your wish is on the way.

Happening now:

Trump Kids fighting with Campaign managers.

Staff's lack of experience showing.

Everyone complaining to the press anonymously.

Managers knowing candidate Trump is hopeless.

Staff sticking it out only for the money.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. About that last one....

....knowing Trump's records with his contractors.......good luck.

[mopinko]

9. and as lawrence odonnell pointed out last night-

no one of any quality is interested it tarring their name by associating it w drumph. that is why it is amateur hour in the tower.

[Sunlei]

8. This D thanks him for making the entire Republican party his bitch.

[yellowcanine]

10. Is late September good enough?

[jalan48]

11. Trump is the future of the right wing.

Look for more Trumps in upcoming elections. It's scary when we realize how many people support such a bad candidate. The next Trump will be slicker and more guarded in his/her comments. Voters aren't always the most informed people, they are susceptible to misinformation.

[Wounded Bear]

13. If they do, they'll be in Libertarian territory...

and that's not a bad thing.

[jalan48]

14. I'd say Trump's numbers are beyond Libertarian. He's mainstream now.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Not what I meant...

If the Repubs keep putting up Trump-like candidates, they'll be polling (and voting) in single digits. Rational conservatives won't go there.

[jalan48]

16. Actually, Trump and people like him just push the political spectrum further to the right.

He makes extreme right wingers like Cruz, Rubio, etc. look more rational and "middle-of-the-road".

[AwakeAtLast]

17. I want him Crushed. Like. A. Bug.

He is worse than what is on the bottom of my shoe.

19. It's heading there -,nt
