Yeah pretty much everything that a person does in a presidential campaign is seen as somehow indicative or transferable to that person's actual presidency, but not this year. This year, we train the President on the job.

This election is so loving bizarre, there must be 30+ gaffes that would have sunk any normal campaign but somehow none of it loving matters.

Very, very, very, very, very unlikely. He's going to get nowhere close to 270 so contesting votes across numerous states will get him nowhere.

yea, even electoral maps being very generous to trump don't really look great for him.

you can go down the list of inane GOP criticisms of Obama and most of them would apply to Trump, I guarantee it

I would assume because they might say something embarrassing about the Ailes ouster before Fox PR has a chance to get the party line straight.

Way more than 30. He's committed what should have been a campaign-ending gaffe at least once or twice every week since he announced.

He's committed so many that we've forgotten many of them. Remember the racist butler? Remember when he advocated for a nuclear-armed Japan and defaulting on the national debt? Remember his crazy rear end "doctor" writing him a clean bill of health that read exactly like Trump wrote it himself?

I'm sure I'm missing dozens more.

I was more thinking that anarchists had decided that "heroin for everyone!!" is a winning play at the rnc.

Man the media is hilarious.

I mean, I don't begrudge the left getting their licks in, go ahead, have fun with some of the GOP convention chaos.

But MSNBC is going a step beyond and acting like it has some sort of effect on the election. Trump has to "save" the GOP convention with a great speech. As if he needs to satisfy THEM to win the election. The great unwashed masses aren't paying attention to this poo poo. Liberals who are and who are enjoying the show with a hearty laugh are votes in the bank for Clinton.

The number of people watching these things is a small fraction of the number of people who will cast votes. And the small fraction watching is mostly all the partisans like us, not the mouth-breathing idiots who will pick the next president.

Come on Boosted, surely you can recognize the obvious 4D chess of deliberately running a chaotic convention, followed by Trump "saving" the event with a strong speech at the end, thus completing the comeback narrative.
