Dana Bash ask this morning where is Trump's Michelle, Obama, Biden, Jill, Bill,

Gore, Nancy, Reid and so many more. Hillary has a long list of surrogates who are stumping for her. Trump can not even get the Speaker out to stump for him.

He was on Fox yesterday lamenting Trump's tweeting and not taking his expert advice.

I can't decide who's worse: him, Trump, or Pence

I lean toward Rudy, because he's actually caused DEATHS, due to his venal incompetence, and reckless indifference/disregard for the workers at ground zero

Trump would never allow any one else who is famous or heaven forbid, popular to stump for him.

The idea that anyone would take the limelight away from him for even second gives him the shakes.

Remember how he even had to do phone interviews during speeches for him at the RNC? And how he kept showing up everyday - lurking around.

This is HIS moment - he doesn't want anyone to take it away from him.

Thank you, Thinkingabout!

is about the best he can do. And I think it was probably a real effort to get him out of his narcoleptic coma. I just saw him on CNN - Jesus what a moron. I would really, really like to know what medical school (or college or high school or - well you get the idea) issued his degree.

Get on the issues, Trump can't talk about the issues, he doesn't have a business plan, just like in his business, and he fails often.

Sure, there are surrogates. These would be campaign officials and the like. Michelle, Biden, Obama, et al are, I think, Hillary's friends. She has many. Sure, she has many professional colleagues, but the names you mention are, it seems to me, really friends, people who mutually respect each other.

Trump has no such friends. He has no confidantes. He trusts no one. He's already told us he doesn't use advisers, and we've seen that the doesn't follow the guidance of his campaign managers. Truly a sad excuse for a human being.
