OMG! Clinton just threw out another piece of Trump bait.

Something like, "He can insult women, but he can't bring up building a wall when he talks to the president of Mexico."

She also said he "choked" in Mexico.

I can't wait for his tweetstorm.

The "coward" label will stick and there's no way anyone in his or her right mind would twist "coward" and make it out to be a badge of honor, unlike "deplorable."

BTA, we're not dealing with sane, normal opponents.

after several days of acting out after the debate. Clearly, H's team are trying to help him break free again. Go, team!

He IS a pansy face-to-face, of course. He has a tremendous need to be liked and admired, and he proves his own greatness to himself by exploiting and abusing people. He uses his money to get control and then moves on to the enjoyable kicking stage, like with Chris Christie and little 18-year-old Miss Universe. Actually trading punches isn't his thing at all.

Hillary hired some psychoanalysts to assess Trump and point out how she can best use his weaknesses against him. Working splendidly. Beyond expectations. By reaching back in Trump's past, accessing an incident that reflects on his bad behavior towards Miss Universe, then giving her a platform to speak about it, was just TOO MUCH for Trump to swallow. The pit bull took over resulting in a week of crazy tweeting and nasty attacks in the media. He used an army of surrogates speaking to the media, dragging Ms. Machado through the mud. His efforts to trash Machado for something that happened in the past is backfiring. Trump is now showing how vindictive, nasty and unhinged he REALLY (STILL) IS. At least some people/media are waking up to realize this man is insane. The last thing this country needs is a megalomaniac with the temperament of a three year old having access to the power (political and military) of one of the most powerful countries on the planet.

nobody thinks any less of her. He has no credibility, and only succeeds in making himself look like an even bigger fool than ever. This will be a win-win for both HRC and Machado, and making Machado a household name will undoubtedly give her show business career a boost. I can see an invitation to be on DWTS in her future, at the very least! Viva Hillary! Viva Alicia!

...is a term from sports fishing. Instead of CATCHING and KEEPING the fish, you CATCH and RELEASE it. That way, hopefully you (or some other person fishing) can catch it again later, maybe it has gotten even bigger the next time.

So, how it works in this case, is that Hillary loaded the bait on the hook, threw it out there, and Trumpfish came along and swallowed the bait, and as the anglers (neutral name of people who fish) say, swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker.

So, all Hillary had to do at this point is reel him in. She let's him go off to see another day. (not really true in real life, but people, work with me here!)

She then reloads, and throws it back out there, and sure enough, Trumpfish come back again and takes the bait AGAIN and gets hooked.

As an angler, there's almost nothing as funny as catching a fish, letting it go, and then catching the same fish later on, even better if you catch it in the same day!


I mentioned the Trumpfish. Trumpfish (Pisces estupidus) is a very interesting fish, which has confounded biologists for years. It has a large body, but small fins and brain. It has a yuuuge mouth. It seems to bite at anything, but especially likes taco bowls, but does tends to choke often. It can usually be found in the New York area, where it best thrives in the sewer, but is often seen in the waters of Florida and Cuba, and likes to find it's mates in the cool Russian streams and lakes. Unfortunately, its offspring tend to be quite non-intelligent, requiring much support by the male parent. Biologists warn that if you do come across this fish, be extremely careful, it has a tendency to thrash about and go crazy for no apparent reason. And by no means should you ever attempt to eat it. It is highly poisonous and when you cut into it, you tend to find it is full of shit.

In my golf group we have a bet on par 3 (greenies). The closest to the hole with the tee shot wins the bet but he/she has to make his/her par by two putting or better.

If not, we call it "sports fishing" as in they threw back the greenie. Not quite the same thing with Trump as we'd all throw him back even if we made a par or birdie.

oblige me by chasing it briefly--obviously because for the moment they are amused and pleased to do so. But after a few passes, they just quit, because they are not fooled, and they have already gotten as much enjoyment as they can from it and know that no more pleasure will be forthcoming.

She's got all kinds of policy position papers online. The media has yawned and given untold millions of free airtime to Trump because he's entertaining.

If occasionally Hillary now pops off a zinger that sets Trump to chasing his own tail in a frenzy, I say go for it. Whatever it takes to destroy him or to get him to destroy himself. He is incredibly dangerous.
