Donald Trump eats steak well done and pizza with a knife and fork.

I didn't realize the baby thing was real.

How will the Onion stay in business if this ass-clown gets elected?

[cobl04]

Fuck it would be so funny if he dropped out.

[gump]

Holy shit that campaign is imploding.

Sad!

[Vlad n U 2]

Gonna be a 'uuuge implosion. The greatest you've ever seen.

I always figured that Trump would just up and quit when he saw the writing on the wall...it would not surprise me if he's polling poorly in early October and he just up and says he's done and can't win in order to avoid wasting more of his time and being embarrassed in November.

[cobl04]

Is there any precedent for it in America...?

[BigMacPhisto]

Not really. Perot might have won in 1992 had he not temporarily dropped out due to Republicans essentially blackmailing him (or so he says)...but otherwise, the major party nominee is going to duke it out until Election Day, even if it's totally hopeless.

But Trump is an entirely different beast and feels he owes the RNC absolutely nothing. You can't really blame him if he just quits because it is a waste of his time if it's clear he can't win. And unlike people like Romney that honestly thought they were going to win, Trump pays close attention to the polls.

First house Republican to publicly endorse Clinton today

[cobl04]

I'm surprised more haven't. She's exactly what a modern republican should look like

It's not a precedent, but I found this interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...election,_1872

The Liberal Republican candidate died after election day but before the electoral college voted, so almost all the electors pledged to the Liberal Republicans voted for different candidates. The three who kept their vote for the original candidate had their votes disallowed.

I assume that if Trump quit - which I do not think is plausible - the Republicans would hold an emergency second convention to choose a new candidate. Even if it happens really close to the election, it's simply a case of ensuring that their members of the electoral college act together.

[anitram]

The Trump campaign is imploding right before our eyes.

I don't feel bad for the Orange one or people stupid/greedy/mean enough to have chosen to be staffers of his but I do feel very irritated that the rest of the GOP is at the very last minute trying to appear sane and reasonable. Sorry, but the reason Trump is where he is today is due to them and the feelings they have fostered and encouraged in their base, the ugliest aspects of which they used and relied on to win close elections and so on. They are the cause of complete gridlock, the 8 years of anti-Obama thinly-veiled racism, the sowing of divisions through nonsense issues (who cares who pees in the stall next to you) and the complete disconnect from facts and reality. And now we're all supposed to look at Trump in isolation as if the rest of them have no contributory negligence.

That whole party deserves to completely fall apart.

It is not healthy to have a one-party system, but the GOP needs to disband and completely start over at this point.

[gump]

This is batshit insane:

Joe Scarborough Claims Trump Asked Advisor Why US Can't Use Nukes (VIDEO)

And apparently Trump himself said a similar thing in an interview earlier this year.

It's not surprising, but the Republican Presidential Candidate doesn't understand nuclear deterrence.

You can't just wildly scream "sexist!" if someone has a criticism of Hillary Clinton. I didn't say anything even remotely sexist. There isn't even an accidental way to misunderstand what I said. You're just saying it because fuck it! When you don't hear what you want, you just scream sexist!

Holy crap you're such a troll. I said nothing about how she "shouldn't be paid that much." Go read.

I did go read. you said:

I mean, not that I'm going to jump on that train because I don't really care... but look at how much she got paid..

If you were being sarcastic, or making fun of people who actually ask that question, then i apologize. If you were actually wondering why she got paid so much, then my comment stands.

[martha]

Apparently the ferret-wearing shitgibbon thought that the fire marshalls limiting the number of people in the building were working for Clinton.

Instead of doing what fire marshalls do.
