Trump Is Already Conceding The Election

[Babbylonian]

I was telling this to my wife last night. The only way I can think of to curtail his Tang-fueled stupidity is to have someone from the Secret Service flat out tell him he'll get no protection from them. Given his disdain for the armed forces, I'd say that's a non-zero eventuality.

One would hope that any agent who even hinted at such a thing would be immediately fired for cause.

It appears that if he follows the described trajectory, he will turn on his advisors, his handlers, and the entire Republican Party. Left untreated I guess he might even turn on his family.

I wonder if he will turn on the Secret Service detail that is guarding him.

Candidates (and former Presidents) can choose to decline SS protection. If Trump gets mad at the SS, the obvious question would be "So why keep'em?"

Considering the size of the multiple teams that guard the candidates, it's inconceivable that an agent could even think such a thing, knowing that he certainly couldn't speak for his colleagues or bosses.

The point I was making is not whether or not he wants the agents, the point is that if he is having a paranoid meltdown, he might say that the SS has been listening to all his plans and feeding the information to his enemies.

The follow up point is trying to determine how many supporters would then say say "I am going to get off here rather than ride the crazy train to the end of the line," and how many would say "I suppose Clinton could have bribed or threatened the agents into spying for her; I am going to keep backing Trump.

I am not following. How would such a statement curtail Trump's stupidity?

All a bit fanciful at this point, no?

Trump produces enough antics. We needn't imagine them for him.

Well the SS works for Obama so the conspiracy theories would be along the lines that he ordered them to work against Donald.

Still, tell me how you can have a duel without the prerequisite challenge?

The same way you could possess alcohol without making, buying or transporting it.

Inheritance? Sins of the father...

Of course it is rigged. Comey has given a future President Hillary the OK to run the entire Executive Branch of the government on private servers. No one will know what she is doing and no one will be able to find out. As an added bonus, she'll be able to erase it all before she leaves the White House, and we have been advised in advance that "no reasonable prosecutor" would do anything about it. I'm sure Hillary won't appoint an Attorney General who isn't "reasonable".

Do you care about the Dubya White House using the RNC server for email and then those emails disappearing? LOL, of course you don't. It's OK if you're a Republican, after all.

You people are a joke.

I was responding to a post that speculated about how low someone with a disabling mental disorder could go:

Unless events somehow turn things his way, he is going to grow increasingly unhinged. It is hard to see how could go much lower than he already has, but I'm guessing he will somehow manage.

I agree it was fanciful, but in this context, not grossly inappropriate.

Okay, fair enough. My error.

The only plus side of this election is that I get to enjoy watching my extended family members who support Trump wail and gnash their teeth at his accelerating death spiral into insanity. My Face Book feed will offer a most exquisite vintage of schadenfreude as they lament his implosion as a candidate.

That's the same thing I heard so I assume it's true. It would be cool if it was!

That's understood. They would have to be willing to fall on their sword.

Honestly to me, it's not far fetched. The Secret Service would have to be comprised of good people. It must be hell having to protect that creature.

I think it would dawn on him that he needs to change. I don't think it would work, I just think it'd be worth a try

Yes that is going to be tasty.
