Moreso. Mitt was in touch with women enough to know you don't say poo poo like that, because broads get in a tizzy when you do. Also, he had binders full of women!

Its one of those where reasonably and historically you know Trump had a convention bounce but even then there is that little terror of "what if its not??"

I recall he was in the financial sector and got swept with the socially liberal Obama then once he was elected the modest reforms that got pushed was GOING TOO FAR. He was pretty much the perfect example of "socially liberal but financially conservative."

Dear Hilary, please bring this up in a debate with Trump. Quote it right at him, give the exact date of the interview, and then say that everyone can watch it on your website or on Youtube. Do it. Please.

‘This Will Be The End Of Trump’s Campaign,’ Says Increasingly Nervous Man For Seventh Time This Year

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
Some people have been taking this quote to mean that Trump is going to call for violence when he loses, but I feel like they're forgetting something very important about Trump. Trump's public persona and everything that he does is centered around being A Winner(tm), or at the very least not a Loser. It's a central part of his campaign, from talking about how America is going to be winning all the time when he's president (so much winning! You'll be sick of winning!), to feverishly jumping on every poll that shows him ahead so he can brag about how much he's going to win the election by. When he started getting attention and support during the primaries, he brushed off all criticism of his statements by pointing to the fact that he was winning, and he used the fact that he was already winning as a reason why people should vote for him. If there's anything that is actually important to Trump, it's this perception of him being A Winner, and with Clinton in the lead, that perception is seriously under threat in a very public way.

I imagine that we're going to be seeing a lot more predictions from Trump about how the election is going to be rigged, but not because he's going to use it to call for violence. It's because he desperately wants to create a narrative where even though he loses the election, he's not a Loser. He's still totally a Winner guys, and he totally would have won that election if it was fair. Many people were predicting during the primaries that Trump didn't want to be president, and that he was going to simply ride his campaign to the point where he could gracefully exit while still somehow maintaining the idea that he "won." I think that's what we're seeing here too: if he successfully creates this narrative, he'll get to leave the campaign on November 9th flush with attention, claim he totally would have won, and then not have to actually be president.

I didn't fully anticipate how badly Khan speaking at the DNC would screw Trump but I should have. It's been nonstop own-goals since then.

Also who decided that "gold star parents" was a thing to call people like him? Has that term been in use a lot longer than the "you get a gold star lol" sarcastic meaning I grew up with?
