Trump encourages followers to 'check out' Machado sex tape

[XenaLee]

No, Machado was not a porn star.

Typical internet porn site thing. They find someone who looks vaguely similar to a celebrity and plaster that celebrity's name all over it to get the hits.

They're desperately trying to make this all about Machado.  We know why, of course.  But they're not bright enough to know that we're also pointing and laughing at them in their desperation.

They are treating Machado exactly how Hillary treated Kathleen Willy and the others who accused her husband of rape. Go after their boy and they will destroy you.

[Longmire]

Hey, Longmire. Ever get the sense your talking to a wall? An emotionally wounded wall of neurotics.

@aligncare that wall just got 10 feet higher! 

[LMAO]

That's what surrogates are for, to deal with distractions like Machado. Instead, he takes every jab personally, and is compelled to counterattack every time

Yup.

There will be plenty of Pro Trump groups that will take her apart. He needs to shut up about her and press forward. The problem with that is he can't.

Hmmm....there's that Trumpocrat Factor again.   Same treatment, same mentality, same tactics.  Same people?  Some of them sure as hell are.

[Frank Cannon]

So you are here defending Donny pushing a video you didn't even watch? It shows what Trump Drone you are. Donny says something so you just push it without any investigation.

You folks make Obama voters look like intellectual giants.

Exactly.  They don't see it, though.  But it's not having the effect they hoped for.

[LMAO]

I admit to being a little perplexed that there are a couple here who think this somehow is a good strategy. That how Trump over reacts to any slight against him somehow is a good quality to have in someone who will have access to all the government agencies that can be used to go after private citizens.

But then I'm reminded about his statement about shooting someone on 5th Ave.

I think when someone has so much of their emotions wrapped up in someone, they see no fault in anything they do.

Trump has a right to defend himself against a charge that he called this woman a name that may or may not be true. But he overdoes it and allows this stuff to become the focus.

Deny it and move on

[XenaLee]

He is either retarded.
Sandbagging his own campaign to help Hillary.
Thinks his supporters are idiots who will eat it up.
All of the above.

Showing the world and American voters what morons Republican candidates can be and ARE and definitely sandbagging his own campaign to help Hillary is what I think this is.  Now, whether this is due to a previous agreement with the Clintons....or due to his own supposed stupidity....time will tell.  But Trump is not exactly stupid.  He is cunningly calculating, even though his arrogance and ego makes him appear stupid.  I posit that it (the sandbagging) was/is all part of the plan.   He knows that ....after he goes back to his 'very nice life and a long vacation'.....the Clintons will be there to quid pro quo his way into millions more $$$ ...which is the only god Trump worships and asks forgiveness from.  Crass and cash is king with Donald.

[Frank Cannon]

Trump jumps into the gutter

To jump into the gutter means at some point he was out. He's never been out of the gutter.

He is in many ways, destroying the Republican brand. We've gone from the intellectual brand that supports individual rights and the Constitution to a mentally challenged, pop culture sham run like an afternoon talk show mated with an episode of the Kardashians.

And many on our side are eating it up.

[corbe]

   Hey Trumpsters, MISS ME YET?

[Luis Gonzalez]

Is that Machado on the right of the snuggle?

Many that are "supposedly" on our side are eating it up. 

I used to take note of and wonder at the 'supposedly' righties that were literally calling for the end and destruction of the GOP as payback for their betrayals.  How, exactly, would this help the conservative cause, I asked myself.  Especially when the people calling for the GOP's destruction were NOT (anything but) real conservatives. 

Now I know the "why" behind it...and it all has to do with that Trumpocrat factor....lifelong Democrats that have switched over to become Trump supporters.  So I no longer have to wonder.....are those people really on "our" side (yours and mine)?  No, and they never have been.

BLM people think looting and trashing their own neighborhoods are a solution to problems in their neighborhood.

This is the political version of BLM.

Or turn it into a sharp stick to use against both Clinton and the conniving media, while removing the harmful venom from this story.

And make no mistake, the Machado story is/was part of a larger Clinton strategy.

When does Trump take the stick he's been poking himself with for the last four days and turn it against Hillary?

Of course it was a larger strategy.  And Trump kicked it off by taking the bait.  He continues to feed it.

[guitar4jesus]

Have you watched the sex tape yet?

  Nicely played!

[LMAO]

Uh huh.

Just like he did so  "successfully" with the Khan family and the " Mexican judge."

Seriously, vote for the guy but don't be shy about calling him out when he screws up. No, this isn't some "10th dimensional chess" he's playing here. This is Trump being Trump and it's who he has always been

[LMAO]

Too brilliantly.

I have no doubt Team Clinton has a lot more bait for him to take going forward

[sinkspur]

The strategy is working:

Nate Silver ‏@NateSilver538  8m8 minutes ago
There have been 11 post-debate polls in swing states so far and Clinton's led in all 11. Something's definitely changed.

I'm seem to recall that everyone on our side didn't like on how the left attacked Willy.. It was wrong then, and it wrong in what Trump is doing now.

[Suppressed]

Now that 30 million people know there's a Machado sex tape, the Clinton media can't pretend there isn't one.

@Longmire @aligncare

"While Machado has starred in risqué reality TV programs and posed nude for the Mexican version of Playboy magazine, the Daily Beast and other outlets that investigated the claim found no evidence that she has starred in any pornographic films and that the clips posted online actually feature another woman."

And Donald is so stupid, he stepped right in that trap, then stepped in it again, and again, and again, and again.

The first time he stepped in it can be excused, but stepping in it again, and again, and again, and again, knowing the trap is set and sitting there is either retarded or he, himself, is part of the larger Clinton strategy.
