Trump runs for POTUS/ Trumped Up! Part VII

dudalb said:
People with official positions in the GOP are not going to say that in public;but a lot of prominent GOP leaders and political consultants who don't have official positions are pretty open in their opinion that Trump is running one of the most incompetent political campaigns in modern history.

In every way, it is but most particularly in how Trump continues to alienate women in droves. It's like he doesn't even care about the women's vote. Every other word out of his mouth is misogynistic and sexist

The biggest gender gaps between men and women was 20 points. Right now it's 26 to 28. Trump is leading among men by about 7 points and is losing women by between 20 and 22. Hillary is capitalizing on the historic nature of being possibly the first woman President but not nearly as much as Trump is just offending the hell out of the fairer sex. I'm guessing that the GOP conducts polling but clearly Trump is ignoring them.

I don't want to say Trump is trying to lose this election, because I don't really buy that. But he sure doesn't seem to be trying to win..

The weirdest thing about this election is that instead of candidates fighting for attention there is no battle at all. Trump can't stand not to be in the headlines and Hillary is doing everything she can never to be in them.

I am almost buying into the theory that he knows,deep down, he is going to lose, and is trying to build up the audience for his Trump News Channel more then win.

It could just be narcissism (clinical or otherwise) and an utter lack of awareness how it makes him seem coupled with a certainty that he knows better than any experts.

I think he also believes his own rhetoric about women wanting him. He probably thinks his behavior makes him look virile and appealing.

This Slate writer thinks Trump should have a trigger warning:
All over America, the squalid denouement of the Trump campaign is forcing women to think anew about abuse they’ve endured. According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, the weekend after the release of the Trump tape saw a 33 percent increase in people turning to its National Sexual Assault Hotline for support. Traffic to the group’s website was up 45 percent.

I initially read that as "vile".

I'd say that was part of the narcissism. But yes, I'd agree.

I really don't believe he has the capability to do that level of planning. His MO continues to viciously attack anyone who makes the smallest criticism and deny any reality other than that he is a winner or "killer" in his father's words.

If you haven't seen it, I would encourage everyone to watch this Frontline documentary on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

And another October Surprise is coming......

I am not a big fan of Moore...as a satirists he is not half as clever or funny as he thinks he is....but I might actullly give this one a shot.
I don't think it will have any impact on the election, though;Trump is pretty much preaching to the choir with his films nowdays.

Bah. I don't think Moore will have anything that we don't already know.

I'm waiting for the big hammer. What about, "Trump paid for his daughter's abortion using the Trump foundation funds"?

I gotta say, if that were to come out, it might be the nail needed to turn this into a 50 blue state election. Unfortunately, I think if that had something like that, they'd have already played that card.

If only Trump's mother had an abortion.
 
I was reading the response to the White House spokeman's crack about the guy who snorted his way through the first two debates wants a drug test before the third on Facebook.

I realize quoting FB posts is pretty low hanging fruit, but the best was some guy who is like, "Josh can't even pretend to be balanced in this campaign." I'm like, what? Why should the White House be balanced? It's not secret that Obama is campaigning for Clinton.

You can debate whether it was a good thing to say, but even if not, it's NOT because it was biased against Trump and the White House is supposed to have some neutral position. That's really stupid.

I am not even sure that this would affect T's constituency. I'm not sure "T used Trump Foundation Funds to pay for his daughter's abortion of his child" would have much effect, at this point...
 
My own guess: Trump will go very heavy on the Anti Muslim rhetoric in the last weeks of the campaign. If he is trying to cause max disruption, stirring up hatred will be a good way to do it.

The fund-raiser involves sales expansion sets themed for Trump or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, with people voting with which pack they order. As of Monday, the Clinton-themed packs had raised $210,928 while the Trump-themed ones had raised $200,716.

At the end of the promotion, "depending on which pack gets more support, we will donate all the money in support of Hillary Clinton," according to the website.

Brilliant!

I bet he's paid for a few abortions. Possibly out of the foundation.

Or has a love child or two.
