What remains scary and baffling...

is Drumpft has taken enough PR torpedo hits to sink any campaign, yet with no infrastructure, he remains afloat and within 10-12 points of HRC.

Just Saw Chuck Toad Giving Trumpt Campaign Advice in the Guise Of News

He said if tRump could only get his act together he could be attacking HRC on money to Iran and air strikes in Libya. Toad said this could have been a terrible week for Clinton if not for tRumps missteps.

Where does Toad pick up his Drumpt paycheck?

Words to Remember About Drump's Claims of Election Rigging which Posions the Democratic Process

Remember, remember the 8th of November,
the Don the Con treason and plot,
I can think of no reason,
why the Drumpf's treason should ever be forgot.

Apologies to Guy Fawkes.

Drumpt's Prediction of a Rigged Election Sets the Stage for Possible Civil Unrest

rump’s latest allegation (rigged election) is, in the words of the usually staid Associated Press, an “unprecedented assertion by a modern presidential candidate,” one that could “threaten the tradition of peacefully contested elections and challenge the very essence of a fair democratic process.” Trump has laid the groundwork for only two possible outcomes in the eyes of his most passionate supporters: He wins the presidency, or he has it stolen from him. Anyone wondering what the worst-case scenario would be in the event Trump loses to Clinton need only look to the dark picture painted late last week by Roger Stone, one of Trump’s longtime political advisers.

During an interview with Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos, Stone suggested that Trump begin talking “constantly” about the possibility of a rigged election, advice the GOP nominee appears to be taking to heart. “He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: ‘I am leading in Florida. The polls all show it. If I lose Florida, we will know that there’s voter fraud,’ ” Stone said. “ ‘If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government.’ ”

Drumpt would rather see the streets burn then admit he lost the election through a legitimate democratic process. He will avoid the "loser" status at all costs, to others.

Drumpt says he's afraid the election will be rigged.

Prepare for a meltdown from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump if he loses the election.

He told supporters on Monday that he fears the election could be rigged, an indication that even if Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton wins, Trump might not accept it. He made the comments while talking about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who lost the Democratic nomination to Clinton and whose supporters Trump has openly courted.

“First of all, it was rigged,” Trump said of the Democratic primary during a rally in Columbus, Ohio. “And I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged, I have to be honest.”

This is how Drumpt will attempt to avoid be labeled the thing he hates worst in life--LOSER. In doing so he will reinforce the Reich Wing's standard play of delegitimizing a Democratic President before ever being sworn in.

Trap Faced by Media Covering Drumpt

It is also the Catch-22 in which the best of our journalists may find themselves. Lay off Trump and normalize him. Or attack him and provide more elitist fodder for the gremlins who support him. For whether you sympathize with their plight or not, gremlins they are. That’s why nothing Trump does, no matter how egregious—not making fun of women or minorities or the disabled, not flirting with white supremacists, not asking Putin to breach American security, not using the fascist slogan “America First,” not refusing to release tax returns, not lying again and again and again—none of these can damage his support among those white male non-college-educated voters. For them, these are not reasons not to vote for Trump. They are the very reasons why they should vote for him—because he is so inappropriate, because he is so wrong-headed, because he antagonizes the people who antagonize them.
Folks need to recognize this is not the capture the independents election, but an election strategy based totally on turn-out. tRumpt knows the crazier and "anti-PC" he sounds the more the Reich Wingers will turn out. So, expect an outrageous statement per day or per week, there is method to his madness. Unfortunately.
