I think Clinton will defeat Trump with the greatest of ease [View all]

It's not because she's unencumbered with problems herself, but his are so much more pronounced. She is disciplined. He is the most undisciplined political candidate for major office that we've ever seen.

He is going to self-destruct. He's not used to the political arena and that may have helped him with the hapless little republicans also ran, but it's hurting now.

So he's turning to the teleprompter, but here's what Mark Shields had to say last night on the News Hour:

MARK SHIELDS: So, you know, Donald Trump now is going to a teleprompter, as we saw today and we saw on election night.

Donald Trump on a teleprompter is about as electrifying as the recorded message you get calling the airlines and saying, calls will be answered in the order by which they were received.

(LAUGHTER)

MARK SHIELDS: He loses all of Donald Trump.

Trump is mentally unstable with a ridiculously thin skin and an inability to shut the fuck up when he needs to. Honestly, my greatest concern is that he'll implode before the convention. I prefer September.
