meme: "She baited him", "She's happy, savoring" Trump's meltdown

Trump's supporters (on rightwing radio) were using these phrases. "she baited him" was big..

as if Trump's issues were caused by an evil manipulative woman, rather than his own shortcomings. ugh.

First in their minds is that she is not in the kitchen chained to a stove. That hacks them off. Then she had the unmitigated gall to give their Dear Leader enough rope to hang himself on national television. These "personal responsibility" junkies always manage to find someone else to blame for all their problems. Can't be because Trump is a moron who refuses to learn to keep his blathering mouth shut for one second.

5. She didn't bait him, but she certainly walked him in

It was a brilliant move. Hillary brought up Machado on purpose. It wasn't a bait, it was "setting a trap" like in boxing. You give your opponent a small opening, then you walk them right into a big counter shot. Only this is Donald smacking the crap out of himself. Hillary just needed to step back and watch him hit himself over and over again.

I thought right wingers were from the party of "personal responsibility" seems like they are busy blaming others for something Donald did to himself.

This week, a caller suggested that she used performance enhancing drugs. Trump is "authentic" because he tanked.

6. It's never occurred to them that maybe he shouldn't have taken the bait?

Isn't that what bait is for - to lure prey? Only the stupid fish take the bait; those are the ones that get caught. The big, 40-lb. muskie at the bottom of the pond lived long enough to get that big because he was too smart to take the bait. Donald isn't that smart; he bites every time. If he was a fish he'd have been filleted, battered and fried a long time ago.

Immediately after doubling down on his own name calling, he uses his closing statements to call her "not very nice" and "mean". Like a child making an appeal to his teacher. It just looked pathetic as this grown man waved his tiny hands around complaining about the mean lady.

...and he just couldn't let it go. It was straightforward, accurate, and not particularly key to the greater point. It's not like the $1,000,000 loan lie makes him sound THAT much better, but it's the sort of petty thing that keeps triggering Trump over and over.
