what we need to knock Trumpo down for the count is a REAL scandal...

Everyone expects him to be a shitty businessman, a philanderer, a cheat, a liar, a flip-flopper, an obfuscator, a bankrupt-in-every-way shitheel. And I'm just talking about REPUBLICANS' expectations...

Democrats will give that and about 10 other categories...

No, what we need is something so big, so yuge (sic), that no one can ignore it: think "blue dress", think incest, think wiretap with his voice talking to a Gambino-family member about a "hit", think video of him making a deal with Bill to run for President to knock off the other 16 candidates.

That is what will do the trick...

btw sounds like you hate Bill Clinton. I think Bill had his faults but he was a good President, broke the string of Repubs we's had for 12 years and was much better than Reagan or the first Bush

thinking he'd be the easiest for his wife to beat.

he apparently forgot what the media Fools for Scandal did to him, Gore, and Kerry

let's see what happens, though

the self dealing scandal with the phony trump foundation might do the trick, if they have any shame at all

4. If using $258,000 from a charity, his or not, to pay personal bills
Tue Sep 20, 2016, 08:11 PM

is not illegal and enough to send someone to prison, I don't know what is.
There is all his illegal charity actions.
There is calling for his opponent to be assassinated.
There is telling 10 lies before he leaves his bedroom every day and more each ensuing hour. Is lying by a candidate nothing to worry about?
There is the whole list of 128+ things he has said that someone else compiled.

But, even with this, we honestly have some ignorant voters. Just listen to the focus groups on cable. The things people give as their reason for voting for trump is just unbelievably ignorant.

Plus, we have a separate group of voters who think they can find a perfect and sin-free candidate. They are naive in a different way than the truly ignorant. But they are fully committed to throwing their vote to a third party, without bothering to check the perfection or lack thereof of Johnson or Stein. They just can't see that Clinton's flaws are miniscule in terms of governing and leading our nation.

Something like that? It's probably not true, but in the words of LBJ, "Let's make him deny it."

almost uncountable cons and concentrated on them for, say, a QUARTER of the time they spent on non-scandals like email/CF what would have happened?

instead, CNN is going terra terra terra as their lead story at the top of every hour

what a surprise, yes
