John King "should a man who Tweets about sex tapes @ 5 in the morning

be trusted with the nuclear codes?"

Talking about how every single Republican he spoke with this morning is embarrassed by Donnie's Tweets today.

King then spoke directly to Trump who accused the media of lying about sources in his campaign. "We do have sources, Mr. Trump. In many cases these are your paid campaign staffers, top advisors who tell us Trump refused debate prep, wouldn't practice with a podium, and waved off a policy briefing to watch football."


They are hanging him up by his bits.

They just realized that there are more viewers when they are positive for Hillary.

But the wtf look on their faces at the stuff Trump & his spokesmodels say is also telling. They are no longer risking their careers on this kook.

Poor Katy Tur. She has clearly hit the wall of tolerance with Trump's campaign.

calling everyone to a "press conference" where he gave the one sentence "President Obama was born in the United States" whilst expecting them to provide him a free infomercial for his new hotel.

Now, it's just a blood-bath.

that the truth is driving up ratings and bringing in more viewers.

People are tired of the false equivalence, spin, and false balance. It really is refreshing to see the media finally doing their jobs. Question is, how long will this last?

They will do anything for ratings and that means creating the illusion of a horse race.

I distinctly remember them talking about the next 4 year election cycle before President Obama even took office on Jan.20th after winning the election.. (not sure if first term but definitely second.) Regardless he was the most disrespected president his first 100 days of his first term that I have ever witnessed. The Repugs and the media showed themselves to be hateful even if that meant the good of the country be damned.

The big take away from the, under oath, video deposition released 9/30, is hearing Trump, in his own voice, admitting that he does not think about the consequences of his actions.

Trump fails both intermediate Bhagavad Gita and kindergarten.

I don't think Trump would hit her - he might have somebody else do it for him.

However, I think Trump was pissed at her for the convention speech plagiarism, so probably dressed her down & humiliated her in front of senior staff and family, even though she was reading what the speechwriters wrote, and what should have been vetted by senior campaign people. He probably screamed & yelled & humiliated others as well, not just Melania, but he has kept her out of the limelight ever since out of spite.

When Trump loses, he will blame the rigged election, Clinton, Obama, the media, every voter in a close state, as well as his top campaign people - and Melania. It will never be his fault.

You'll then find Melania will quietly file for divorce a few months after the election.
