Still with in five percent?

Trump has managed the media masterfully turning each news item into a free campaign ad. The media are complicit, for any other candidate they would have dragged them back on topic but Trump is such big box office that the media seem to need him more than he needs them and so he's allowed to behave as he sees fit.

The more cynical members of the media establishment might ask themselves: who will provide the better ratings as Commander in Chief?

President Trump could be the thing that saves many a media outfit.
Anyone else starting to think of Zaphod Beeblebrox ?

Trump's campaign drops just 16 cents on ads for every dollar Clinton spends

Still with in five percent?

And he's tooting his own horn saying he'll be equally effective spending tax payer's money, which is a tremendous argument that will get him another million voters at least.

That's a soothing thought. The higher Trump's chances rise in the polls, the more improbable it becomes he actually is elected.

Maybe somebody will shoot him in the face

And he'll become silver in colour and repair himself. People thought he was mercurial for the wrong reason.

Trump will win the debates because he has "yuge" words, tremendous words. He has the best words.

Trump : "The foundation is really rare. It gives money to that. It's really been doing a good job. I think we put that to sleep just by putting out the last report."

Great words. How does one begin to respond to something like that? There's nowhere to get purchase. It's the verbal equivalent of dazzle camouflage.

It's a Cheney reference. Made me smile.

It was his creative accountant who did it.

Really?

Also, The term WW3 is sometimes used to indicate a nuclear exchange, is that how you are using the term?

You bet! Is that not what WW3 is defined as? All out war on a global scale?

The Chinese government point to Trump as to proof that democracy doesn't work.

After Trump wins, he may knock a hole in that position of theirs.

I had to look that one up. The hunting incident where Cheney shot a fellow hunter in the face. I had forgotten that one.

I am having a hard time fully understanding the comparison to the Falklands so I will just ask you. Which side do you imagine will be the first to use thermonuclear weapons?
