Game Over for Trump

[The Grand Nudger]

A longtime Trump Organization executive — who the Republican presidential nominee frequently cites as proof that he’s not a misogynist — is backing Hillary Clinton over her “supreme sexist” former boss.

LOL, Trumps entire self-appraisal seems to be built out of the uncomfortable ass-licking that goes on when employees interact with their douchebag bosses.  He might be legitimately surprised to find that no one sees him as he sees himself.  The longer this goes on, the more tragic a figure he becomes.

You might be surprised how many bosses actually fall into this category. Having this self appraisal of grandeur and surrounding themselves with Yes Men. I worked for one for two decades, I'm ashamed to say. And I always used to say, if he'd been less of a self centered asshole, his company would have been even more successful and productive. Since every employee only did what was necessary and didn't invest any of their life blood or creativity.

I'm pretty sure it's the same with Trump's endeavors.

A four-state strategy?

Trump's Campaign Is 'Pulling Out of Virginia'

The move to pull out of Virginia shows Trump is "running essentially a four state campaign," with the focus now shifting to battlegrounds critical to his chances in November: Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio, a source with knowledge of the decision told NBC News.

So how is he doing in those four states?

From Real Clear Politics"

North Carolina - Clinton +2.6

Ohio -   Clinton  +0.5

Pennsylvania - Clinton +8.7

Florida - Clinton +2.7

If 538 is as prescient as they've been in the past, that's pretty much his last hope: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016...cast/#plus

I think what's funny is that he seems to not realize several important things:

1. Outside of the most hardcore Republicans, Benghazi and the email scandal are dead.  It's literally a dead horse.
2. He's not running against Bill Clinton.
3. There's actual proof of his own misdeeds - his own bragging.  And instead of simply apologizing, he's consistently doubled down on it, to the point where his surrogates are trying to redefine what sexual assault actually entails.

He has no ground game to speak of, outside of a few attack ads.  As rabid as his followers are, there's not much of an effort to get grassroots support, especially now that the GOP has given up on him and are now focused on the down ticket races.

I have the feeling that Nate Silver may be correct, and that ~40% is Trump's ceiling rather than floor.  At least, that's my hope.

Trump just gave an anti-Semitic speech ‘dripping with hatred’ — and the Internet is horrified

Donald Trump lashed out at global elites who undermine American sovereignty through “international banks” — and many observers couldn’t help but notice the underlying anti-Semitic message.

The Republican presidential candidate flatly denied recent reports of women claiming he’d sexually abused or assaulted them after the release of a 2005 recording that showed Trump boasting about getting away with grabbing women by the genitals because he was rich and famous.

Oh. no...the Illuminati are back in Drumpf's fevered imagination.

How is that anti-Semitic?

Whenever someone brings up the Illuminati, I automatically deduct 20 points from what I'd guess their IQ is.

I live on 538 around election time. They do a wonderful job of non-partisan basic statistic, but done really really well. They are honest and upfront about where any flaws may be found,and how they come up with all their numbers. Best election site on the web, IMHO.

Drumpf is going to run out of commie cocks to suck.

Trump’s apology tour starts with Serbian ‘Butcher of the Balkans’ Milosevic

U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has issued an apology for his country’s decision to bomb Serbia during Bill Clinton’s tenure at the White House.

Putin's little whore.

He has absolutely no right to issue an apology on behalf of an entire nation.
