Do something outrageous
Deny what he did on Twitter
Rinse/Repeat - since there are no repercussions

His supporters are going to believe what he says no matter what...

The comment was irresponsible and dangerous. That may be how things work in some lawless country overrun by warlords, but in the United States, we're supposed to work within the system. If Trump wants to pretend he said something else, that's between him and whatever is left of his conscience, but it doesn't comport with reality.

The only acceptable follow-up to his reckless statement (and yes, it's obvious what he meant) is a total retraction and an apology. And not one of those "I'm sorry you're so stupid you misunderstood my crystal clear statement." This wasn't a misunderstanding by us; it was a call for violence to his demented followers.

Also wanted to add this to the thread .....

"Trump hired Manafort back in the '80s to lobby on gambling and real estate issues. And even though Riva Levinson had her disagreements with Manafort, she calls him "a master strategist," who can "hover above all of the moving parts, and intuitively he understands how to put them together."

also

"Manafort was testifying about his role in a scandal at the Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Reagan administration.

It's not the only time that Manafort's business practices have come under scrutiny.

Whole article http://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/486085582/meet-paul-manafort-the-washington-insider-running-trumps-campaign

Between Don , Manafort , Stone and who know who else a very dangerous combination .......

BBC just had a story on Don and his statements he made today ...... not good

He said, "if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the second amendment people...maybe there is."

If she gets to pick her judges, she would already have won! Voting would be OVER at that point, and he knows that very well.

And even if he did mean vote – everyone can vote, not just 2A people. Why specifically call them out?

He's such a lying sack of shit.

He is attracting the negative attention of people like Hayden, NEGROPONTE, Zoellick and others who have had their hands in what Nixon called "hanky panky" for years.

This is what should be truly scaring us.
