1. Now comes the ugly

Where they jettison a poor staffer (hope they make it worth their while or it will blowback).

All this just goes to show how rotten Trump is.
Keep digging.

The Trumps never, ever make a mistake. It's always someone else's fault.

The Trumps are liars.

How's that open carry working out there GOP?

Seriously, this is sophisticated Shakespeaean stuff.

9. Manafort flat out said that Melania added those passages--as if that somehow absolves staff.

That's what you have staff for--to avoid cock ups like this going over every goddamned line of the speech. They were saying on Morning Joe that this is a "save-my-marriage issue." I'll bet Manafort is toast. If not today, then soon. Nobody throws the wife under the bus.

On edit: Scarborough just said that the family is starting to turn on each other--Melania vs. the kids. Melania has gotten disillusioned with the campaign and is pissed that his kids foisted Pence on him. Who could've seen that coming?!?
