I get that this interview shows that he's a crazy person, but I really would've appreciated if the interview pushed a bit more on some of Trump's most outlandish statements.

Trump has actually said he's going to use SuperPacs to take out his political opponents.
Time to regurgitate 1996 distance yourselves from Bob Dole and push not giving Clinton a blank check talking points. Time to push the narrative of even if you vote for Clinton at least vote Republican in the house and Senate because we can't give Clinton and the Dems unfettered power of all three branches.

Yeah. I almost sympathize with him. That is a portrait of a trapped, frightened man-child.
Took the words out of my mouth. Can't wait to see Joe try to find an out.

Just bc there's lots of chatter about this tonight (not bc it's likely) the rule for filling vacant GOP nomination.
Trump is not going to withdraw his candidacy, short of some sort of major health collapse.
There are two reasons for this. One is that Trump likes being a presidential candidate. Everyone pays attention to him. Everyone thinks he's an important person. He can go anywhere in the country and get thousands of people to show up and cheer while he says whatever he wants to say. He can get an interview with the press whenever he wants, and people will watch him or read his words. Since he likes being seen as an Important Person more than anything, he's not going to walk away from the candidacy, no matter how poorly they treat him.
The other is that Trump is never going to believe that he is losing, no matter what poll results come out or what scandal breaks. We've seen it before; everything negative is unsuccessful people conspiring against him. He doesn't believe in polling unless it conforms with his worldview. He knows how well he's doing, because he can see it in the faces of the thousands and thousands of supporters who flock to see him and tell him how good a job he's doing, or in the millions of followers he has on social media. I mean, he's already convinced himself that his bankruptcies are a mark of his success. What could possibly convince him that he won't win the election? Even if he loses in a landslide, he'll probably be wailing about fraud to the press for months.
For better or worse, the Republicans are stuck with him until November.

The PoliGAF 2016 Electoral College Sweepstakes is going to be dull when all the states in the toss-up and lean categories go for Clinton.
So many awful headlines popped up for Trump on Tuesday that we lost track of all of them. A solid 10 things that would get attention for the nightly news, were they to happen on their own. Does the WP interview count as Tuesday news or Wednesday news? The interview and initial leaks were on Tuesday. We need a finalized list.
Every other time we've thought no day could ever be topped, we've clearly been wrong. So now is no time to assume that will change. Trump is inventing new, incredible ways to blow an election that no one could have ever previously thought possible.

This is the best timeline, because anyone else might do well, and I just want to see the GOP burn a little more.

I was wondering exactly that. I figured I would have qualified for that but then again I only really post when some big event is going on and/or when I'm at work :x
EDIT: Damn, 5 posts short of the wall-o-shame.

I generally agree that it is very unlikely he drops out, but I don't know how you could read that transcript and not recognize that a part of him knows his ship is headed for the iceberg. That was pure desperation.

Oh ya, definitely. the only person who cares about his primary votes is Donald Trump. No one else cares.
Even if his numbers don't move any further from where they are during Hillary's bounce, the possibility that the race could slowly be baking-in as these events unfurl would be devastating.

Anyone else sad and upset after coming to the realization that we will never witness such fuckery in 2020? Heck, we will never get to top this ever again in our lifetime? I mean, this is truly once in lifetime event. Or once in 10 lifetimes. We are living through history that will be talked about until the Republic crumbles and I'm sad that 2020 will parade the usual droll conservative assholes like Scott Walker and Rubio.

What if Trump runs again in 2020?

even crazier: the olympics are gonna basically drown anything out unless it's something else trump does on the scale of this week, so what we're seeing now could be getting baked in
This is a way more realistic post
Yes, and it's clearly a fake poll - it was done landline only and by a Republican group. He also said that Jill Stein is doing better than Johnson. The guy is so transparent in his lies.

The people talking about Trump's primary votes are Trump surrogates, it's just Trump getting his ego stroked on TV with talking points that he wants to hear

This is what I'm looking at as well. I mean, I'd love her to get another 4-5 points out of this. But, I don't think that's likely. For me, it's about letting these numbers bake in. And, with the Olympics, I think we have a chance. Like, if Trump can't change the narrative within the next 48 hours...I feel like Hillary can solidify her support. I wish she had some big endorsement, something that she could trot out right now in the midst of this clusterfuck. Some big wig GOP person.

Hillary winning with a huge landslide would be amazing justice. Some people's heads would explode at the announcement like the Marsians in Mars Attack, on both the left and the right.

It would be perfect if Hillary delivers Trump's defeat via a glass ceiling.

We said nothing would top 2012 and here we are, however, there was no way to predict this clowncar.
