Passing Peak Trump?

Surely, no noun should be preceded by an adverb unless it modifies the verb (or adjective?) which precedes it.

Yeah, my parts of speech is a little rusty. I was thinking of of verbs being adjectives by adding "ing", i..e "Lying Ted Cruz" and got confused.

Yes Trump has had some reversals thanks to his ill-judged comments about the Mexican judge (and doubling and even tripling down on same) and maybe his "Have U.S. servicemen lined their own pockets from the money sloshing around Iraq ?" question (which may even be true - who knows ?), isn't the sort of thing a candidate should say about a group of American HeroesTM; but like as not they will be forgotten by swing voters in a few weeks.

Hillary has also benefited from being the presumptive Democratic Party candidate with a bump in her numbers but with large chunks of the press gunning for her and the FBI investigation into her email server dragging on, there's a risk that there'll be a negative story that will drag her down.

I think the damage Trump did to himself this week is permanent.
I don't think American voters are quite as dumb as you think they are.

I guess time will tell......

I hope that the damage is permanent and that Hillary will romp to a crushing victory. I fear that Donald J Trump's setback are temporary and that Hillary has a long, tough fight in front of her.

I don't expect there to be that much to worry about because Trump keeps saying things that alienates people. The republicans hoped he do a presidential pivot after he secured the nomination, then he mouthed off about that judge. The republicans thought then thought they finally got him to act presidential, then he implied that Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist sympathizer.
 
My mother's husband, who is so Republican I think he has a trunk, has said quite firmly he will not under any circumstances vote for Trump. He thinks Trump is a danger to this country and to the world. I was both shocked and not shocked. He may be a Republican but he's not stupid.

Possibly, picking a fight with the family of a soldier who died serving his country may do it. Not that it will influence his hard core supporters you understand but the undecided are getting a taste of the real Trump now. Oh and his bizarre lie about the NFL, and that's just in one day.
 
I think it's too early. However, it does show a strategy on how to keep Trump on the defensive. Hillary in her acceptance speech said he was too easy to bait as a reason why he would be bad in foreign policy. The democrats can keep baiting him like this getting him to say really stupid things to protect his fragile ego covered up by his narcissistic personality disorder.

The key is to generate attacks on his personality so he responds viciously to someone who is a "culturally protected class" like parents of servicemen killed in action.
 
Will it effect fundraising? My bet is it will help Clinton and put a dent in Trump's already pathetically weak fundraising.

Too soon to tell.

Remember this ?

On Friday, May 27, during his campaign rally in San Diego, Trump ripped into federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel who is presiding over one of the two class action lawsuits pending against Trump University and Trump, personally, for allegedly defrauding thousands of people out of money in connection with the now defunct school.

Most of the electorate don't unless prompted. I see Trump's current difficulties being forgotten in a month or so.

Yeah, but he didn't piss off the VFW on that one. This one has the republican core base very publicly abandoning him. I think that is a significant difference.

And Trump understands neither nuance nor humility. He's not even going to try to mitigate this or walk it back. If the the democrats were clever, they'll get him in the position of getting into a fight with law enforcement officers and Trump will finish the job for them. He won't be able to help himself.
 
Good morning Upchurch.

In the past few days, without the Dems help, Donald has has been attacking local fire marshals for not letting him over crowd venues that his campaign has over sold tickets to. The fire marshals have an obligation to not allow places to exceed a certain amount of people at gatherings for safety reasons. Trump has been ripping into them at these public appearances claiming that it is a conspiracy against him and his followers. On one occasion he did this right after he and his secret service entourage were rescued by fire fighters from a stalled elevator.

I hope you're right but I think that once the dust has settled, the Republican Party core base will decide that they will vote, that they cannot vote for Hillary or a third party candidate and that they will vote the GOP ticket no matter how unappealing the Presidential candidate is.

I think that stuck. Before then I'd hear people say that Trump was just pulling a fast one on the GOP; that he didn't really believe his own hateful rhetoric. I haven't heard that much since. He really alienated a lot of the undecided.
