Democratic Party is inclusive? Evidently not. Trump has everybody with a mullet.

Yeah, that's mean, but what the heck.

Trump complained to the HBA that real estate loans are too hard to get.

I guess that is why Trump is relying on Russians for money for his real estate ventures.

Today's newest Trumpism speaks volumes about his temperament. He is really sick.

Remove the teleprompter and he goes full batshit crazy.

The news went from Hillary crushing Trump, to nothing but Trump in the past four days.

Free TV time and nothing but Trump this and Trump that. Regardless of how sickening what he is saying, he is still all over the airwaves. Refusing to back Ryan and McCain, more TV time. Trump is playing the US media like a reality TV show and keeping all eyes and ears on him. Every time Hillary starts smashing him, he does something even more outrageous. Hie campaign advisers starting to panic? Nonsense, just as scripted. Manafort? nonsense, just as scripted. Trump is playing the American public because he knows that we have a very, very short memory. Just like a TV reality show, it is all scripted.

Remember how it went with Kerry in '04? Every time he would score, the Bush administration would announce an eminent terrorist attack on the US. After the DNC convention; after Kerry walloped him in the first debate. Trump is using the same script.

I'm not so sure that Trump isn't trying to force the RNC to get rid of him.

He had a bad week last week. He thought he had support in criticizing the Khan family, but that back-fired. Then he saw the post DNC convention polling, and Trump, being a TV reality guy, follows TV ratings and polling closely. Since Sunday he has tripled down on everything crazy that you can imagine. If the RNC finds some way to get rid of him, he won't be faced with more humiliation leading up to the election. More importantly, he won't be faced with an almost sure defeat. Mentally unstable people think things out, and Trump appears to be doing just that. He will be able to say that he was cheated out of the presidency. In his warped little mind, that works.
