Trump’s truest believers start to worry: ‘You could easily lose this election’

[ABX]

The morning after the vice-presidential debate, Cathy Frasca woke at 5 a.m. and hand-wrote a four-page letter to Donald Trump that said: “It is obvious that you could easily lose this election.”

The 89-year-old grandmother urged Trump to release his taxes, ignore the controversies that Hillary Clinton tries to start, stop tweeting at 3 a.m. and remember that “Bill Clinton is not running for election, so please avoid using precious time to discuss his sex life.” Instead, Frasca wrote, Trump should tell voters about how he will improve the country....

[LMAO]

Ya think?

I can't say for sure if any of the other candidates in the primary would have won this election. But I can say,barring some major event, Trump is going to lose this Nov

Not "could," but "will."

This election is over.  The only question left standing is: "how many downticket candidates will Trump take down with him?"

That phone call from Bill Clinton urging Trump to "run" is the most profitable ever for the Clintons.

And as a reminder, the recent Podesta Wikileaks emails exposed that the Democrats were working to push Trump as the nominee because he was Hillary's preferred candidate and they said, the only one she could beat.

The leaks show they started pushing for Trump April 2015, months before he declared.

They had the Trump campaigned planned to suit their needs.

Supporting Trump literally was supporting Hillary, not even in a figurative sense.

They played him like they did Bob Barr.

The question now is how willing of a participant was he?

Barr was duped.  Trump?   Yeah good question.   What did Trump know and when did he know it?

Originally I was leaning toward he was a willing participant but now I'm more convinced that he was a stooge all along.  The Clinton's knew they could rely on his YUGE ego to get mired in defense of his "honer" (sic.) The bigly amount of dirt they have to sling at him should guarantee Hillary the election.

However, I do believe they gave him an end game in all of this.  I'm sure there is a TRUMP® brand "golden parachute" of some sort when he loses.

I got agree with the "Stooge" part also.   He has never been a critical thinker.

Probably quite willing, considering he announced a mere two weeks after that phone call from Bubba.

Why oh why didn't the bleep listen??

Perhaps, just perhaps, Bill Clinton showed him a way to "fix" Trump's current problems with the IRS.

Not that I'm a conspiracy theorist, though I have been to the back gate of Area 51.

Snap out of it man!  Get back on your meds>    ^-^ :blank:

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

At the end of the first debate, the moderator asked Trump something like "Are you ready to accept your opponent as President if she wins?" (he did ask the same of Hillary re: Trump as Prez). I thought it was odd how quickly Trump said he would. To me that gave the impression that he couldn't wait for the whole thing to be over and didn't care so much about being President.

I think a couple of things happened. Trump supporters are so angry at the destruction of the middle class and the failure of the Pubs to represent them that they supported the candidate who best reflected their anger. Once they made this emotional decision any and all responses to Trump criticism were dealt with on an emotional level. Additionally, Trump supporters figured that even though the candidate they emotionally attached themselves to attacked all his primary opponents on a personal level all the supporters of these other candidates would rally around their guy.

IOW, they didn't listen because they couldn't hear the legitimate criticism of Trump. They made an emotional decision and any criticism of him was a personal attack on them.

Agreed with this. Their love of Trump is emotional only. No logic whatsoever.


Spending money based on emotions alone is a huge mistake and so are political decisions IMO.


And we will all pay the price.

It's not Trump who jumped the shark - he *is* the shark.

It's the dumbass primary voters who put him where he is. THEY jumped the shark.

I've never thought Trump was a willing participant.  His ego would not allow that.  But the fact that he is a stooge is easy to believe.  He falls immediately for anyone who compliments or praises him.  He is  mega easy to manipulate and it would be so easy to do that if he were president.

He has now guaranteed that he will not be and we're stuck with Clinton.

Nice job, trumpers.

[Jazzhead]

Stooge of the Dems,  stooge of the Russians . . . my God, how have so many people been fooled by this man?   

[Emjay]

This 'stooge' quality of Trump, along with his massive ego and insecurity are the qualities that cause me to believe he would not be better than Hillary.

These qualities make him a clear and present danger to the country.

We can withstand 4 years of Hillary.  It will be bad but not fatal.
