1. The Don is fighting with everyone

He can't get along with the leadership in his party. Can't get along with his running mate. Campaign staff has left him.
Can you imagine him handling our international relations? It would be the same thing - fights with everyone.

10. Yeah, it scares the shit out of me that he's even within sniffiling distance of the White House.

Republicans lurking here, is this really the guy you want anywhere near the nuclear codes?

3. Known Trump Pussy Grabs: 11 * Known Voter Fraud Cases: 10

All very strategic and intentional, a diversion to misdirect attention from the GrOPer issue that's already cost them 10% in the polls.

To deflect from charges of sexual assault, Trump assaults our democracy.

Over the next few years, I'd like to be able to poke my head in on the alternate universe where Trump and Pence are sharing the White House, just to see how things are going.

9. Pence is using "the royal we."

He is grateful to T-Rump for three reasons:

1. Trump pulled him off a re-election campaign that he was losing--BADLY.

2. Trump gave him national status that he can parlay into cold hard cash, either writing a book, or going for "political pundit" appearances on the newsers, etc. He also has a little juice from this misadventure that he can translate into other business opportunities. If he can clean up some of his views, and sell himself better nationally, he could go so far as to be a primary candidate in 2020.

3. Instead of looking like a nutter to those who know him, to those who do not (a much wider audience), he comes off as "the sane one." Thing is, that is ONLY by comparison but the wider US audience doesn't get down in those weeds, generally.

13. Pence will be among those jockeying for head of the Puke party.

tRump will disappear into the mists of history, except for many appearances in court as a defendant.

16. He sees himself as the Ted Turner of the alt-right. He wants to build a media empire.

The difference is, Ted Turner actually has money and can get a sizable bank loan with a handshake. Trump couldn't get money from an American bank if he ransomed his entire family.

18. Is Donny telling his people it's no point voting?
Mon Oct 17, 2016, 11:12 PM

so they should just stay home since it's rigged? No point voting for those establishment republicans who turned against him either.

It's a strange strategy. It's like he knows he already lost and wants to make it the greatest loss ever.

It makes me consider in his bus video where he says "I moved on her like a bitch". Does that mean the donald is calling himself a bitch?
