22. At this point, only an idiot would think this circular firing squad is a clever ruse by Trump.

I'm confident in the numbers-- Moore's endorsements are consistently doing one-eighties on him, the RNC has pulled funding from his campaign, prominent GOP spokesmen, both in DC and in the media are demanding he drop out, all polls are consistently showing him on the downside slide beneath Jones, and he of course assaulted under-age girls.

At this point, only an idiot would think this comedic circular firing squad is a clever ruse by Trump or his advisers. Moore is done, and the only question remaining will be if he stays in the race and splits the GOP vote, or simply goes quietly into that good night.
