His hatred for him is definitely odd. He's rarely this over the top with his hatred, and it's still never been properly explained why he hates Trump so much.

I mean posting all these things that are clearly propaganda and manipulation against Trump when his opponent is, literally, responsible for people dying and secrets getting out...

I don't understand how anyone is taking sides in this election. It's like choosing between burning to death or drowning and then being irrationally condescending to the folks that chose one or the other.

A fraction of the idiocy I think Drumpf would be responsible for if he got anywhere near a political office of real power. I can envision no circumstances under which he does any better at anything than Mrs. Bill.

My first choice in this election would involve some sort of Battle Royale-style competition whereby both candidates and their parties fight to the death on a remote island with microbomb chokers. Depending on how Gary J does, I may or may not show up to a ballot box. Furthermore, if I had my way, I'd put bullets in heads of both major candidates. I know who's going first, though.

That all proved my point. :D

Donnie Dumbass opens his mouth again. Predictably, it's something mind-blowingly idiotic.
"He was a bad guy -- really bad guy. But you know what? He did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk. They were terrorists. Over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism," Trump said.
- Trump, endorsing Saddam's policy on terrorism

For those who've forgotten, Saddam's terrorism policy consisted mainly of "only I may terrorize others, and I have a fucking monopoly on it."

Trump's been saying this for two years. While it is and always has been a rather stupid comment, the only people bringing it up now are Hillary sycophants that desperately want to shift the direction away from the devastating FBI presser yesterday.

Eh, better it's out of the way now than October. Voters have a very short memory.

Trust me, people will remember the FBI presser a lot more vividly than they'll remember Trump's comments about Saddam. Mostly because he says stupid stuff daily, but the point remains.

No more than their voters gave a shit about Obama and Reverend Wright. That's what made me realize they had no morals, only the need for their team to win.

Trump now tied with Hillary...in Utah.

Ah Utah, the one place in this country that is damn near a theocracy.
I would laugh so, so hard. If that happens, Paul Ryan has to go to the podium and yell, "YOU'RE FIRED, DON!"

Trump met w/ Republican Senators. Didn't go well
Trump said at the meeting that he has yet to attack Flake hard but threatened to begin doing so. Flake stood up to Trump by urging him to stop attacking Mexicans. Trump predicted that Flake would lose his reelection, at which point Flake informed Trump that he was not on the ballot this year, the sources said.
Please delegates... do the right thing.

When Flake stood up and introduced himself, Trump told him, “You’ve been very critical of me.”

“Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn’t get captured — and I want to talk to you about statements like that,” Flake responded, according to two Republican officials.
...
Characterizing Kirk as a loser, Trump vowed that he would carry Illinois in the general election even though the state traditionally has been solidly Democratic in presidential contests. Kirk did not attend the meeting with Trump.
...
Trump also singled out Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), who has refused to support Trump and has emerged as perhaps the most vocal advocate for a third-party candidate. Sasse declined to speak with reporters as he left the meeting.

“Senator Sasse went to today’s meeting ready to listen. Senator Sasse introduced himself to Mr. Trump, and the two had a gracious exchange,” said James Wegmann, the senator’s spokesman. “Mr. Sasse continues to believe that our country is in a bad place and, with these two candidates, this election remains a dumpster fire. Nothing has changed.”
Wow.

“If when we leave we could just go out and say, ‘We love Trump, he’s going to be great.’ I love you, we’re doing great. As a team, we can’t be beaten,” Trump said. “Say great things, because anything you say that’s even a little — well you know, they magnify it. Just say it’s great. You gotta say great things. Any little negativity that you have, they are going to blow it up twentyfold. You’ve got to be positive.”
Fucking wow.

He's more into the "power of positively" than any potential elected official i've ever seen.

I think there are people swayed by how the mood goes toward any given subject. Some people need to be on the side of popularity. I think Trump is correct in this, even if his execution is sophomoric.
