No, the point is trump and his response. The presidential nominee.

Like, if he ramps up too quick, he'll topple, and the GOP will have just enough time to scramble and nominate someone more qualified for the office. But if he starts to temper himself after the backlash this week, then he still might be able to curry favor with the Ohio and Penn delegates...
Why would he temper himself? THere is little to suggest there will even be a backlash, just like all the other times he's said the same stuff. The only people that care are people that would never vote for him anyway.

To borrow from an article posted a few pages ago, this is really a referendum on whose tribe is bigger. I don't think gaining independents or flipping people in the other party is as much of a concern at this point. It seems the Hilldog has made some attempts to actually gain votes, but not much.

Which is funny because both candidates have been so terrible at motivating their entire tribe. The far Left hates Hillary and the moderate Republicans won't vote for Trump.

It's pretty neat.

A Facebook friend of mine just posted these damning Clinton quotes in response to someone criticizing Trumps fairly insane (by comparison) comments.

If half of those are true, I like her more.

Where's the firestorm? Cable news? Twitter? Liberal newspapers?

Trump voters don't view that shit. They have their own distorted propaganda pushers to cling to, same as democrats.

We all live in echo chambers now.

The time for diplomacy is at an end.

This is about motivating the base. Something Clinton and the other Republicans can't seem to understand.

There is no more winning people to your side.

This is about crushing the opposition with the people you have.

Total annihilation.

Pence has waded in probably in an effort to do some damage control. It doesn't work.

It's just that... there are ways to address this whole thing without coming off like a tone-deaf asshole. This is not some super-tricky political trap. There are ways to brush it off. Pence came closer, but what the hell is Trump doing?
Trump wrote:While I feel deeply for the loss of his son, Mr. Khan who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution, (which is false) and say many other inaccurate things.
He's a little boy. But it doesn't really matter at this point, does it?
