Almost unbelievable how awful Trump is at this, even expecting him to be a buffoon

Trump to go after Clinton's health tomorrow http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/19/us/politics/melania-trump-bill-clinton.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share



...I don't believe there will ever be a ceiling to the idiocy coming from the Trump campaign and their candidate. Every time I think I've heard the worst from them, they manage to come up with something even more unbelievably stupid.

For tonight's debate, Trump plans to highlight Benghazi, Kenya, and Hillary's health. It actually hurts to try and understand such a ludicrous and almost juvenile strategy... that is, until you realize most of the Trump campaign is being run and promoted by the two-bit entertainer, himself. There's none of the sly pretense in Trump's politics that establishment GOP pols use to lubricate their political initiatives.

He clumsily exposes the banality behind their manipulations and waves it all around like a perfect fool in his hysterical campaign, providing an easy target for anyone with half a mind for what has been the totality of the republican political agenda throughout the past eight years; Kenya, Benghazi prominent among those.

In tonight's debate Trump will most assuredly destroy any political benefit of the invented scandals republicans labored for years to make relevant in this very election against Hillary Clinton. That's why so many prominent republican pols have shied away from his candidacy. He's screwing the pooch. Giving away the store. Dropping them in it.

We're not done handing Trump's ass back to them. This planned attack on Hillary's health tonight is one more opportunity for the public to see the naked ugliness that undergirds republican politics. Let the sideshow begin.

The GOP allowed their nominee to go full retard a long time ago...now they are at the award's show and they know the winner won't be their guy and in fact his awfulness is taking them down too.

Fuck 'em all....they deserve every last bit of humiliation that gets heaped on them and if they do not collectively rise up and disavow Trump's nonsense about a rigged election, then in my mind they can all hang with him for high treason and sedition.

"Retard" could get your comment hidden. I get your point and your reference but the term is offensive.

Isn't that what he accused Obama of doing regarding ISIS? Poor Trump: low energy, no class, no strategy!

Sad.

This will be one for the history books no doubt.

Of course in doing so he will just make himself look more unhinged if that is even possible. Hillary has been facing that sort of nonsense her entire life I am pretty confident she will walk out head head high looking at least as good as she looked going in if not better.

Make him go crazy like normal. Or maybe this might lose his more rabid supporters. "Why is he so wimpy?"
