MSM is what is at fault, as much as Trump.

Then we reconsidered. Trump has no control over his brain or mouth. He's like Palin only louder.

I think he just runs his mouth without thinking and then just keeps running it.

Although, that would be a good way to avoid having to show he's not worth nearly as much as he says he is...

I think he is that smart. Yes, he runs his mouth, but I do believe he never thought he would be in front, he doesn't like the idea of actually "running for president" as opposed to playing a game to run, and treating it as a joke. As a liar, he sure wouldn't tell the truth about his true intentions, or just quit suddenly. So this is the perfect way to get out.
.Also, I do believe he has always disliked Mc Cain, so that part is the truth, but saying this in this way, in my opinion is just a way to get out of the race in a way that looks he was forced out..He knows that a comment like this will force him out. That is why he said it and I read somewhere that he backed it up for a second time...Good by Mr.Trump.

When your campaign is based on bashing ("straight shooting" in the eyes of the Donald and his republican supporters on the far-right), practically everything you say could be interpreted by the non-insane as a pretext to be 'forced' out of the race.

but I don't know why he would think insulting McCain would be enough to get him ostracized by conservatives. Plus, as noted elsewhere, he doesn't seem to engage his brain before talking.

ETA: I'm thinking that this has sparked such attacks because his rival candidates desperately want him out of the race and they can't attack him on the other things he says since a) the base agrees with him, and b) so do they.

He ate too many lead paint chips as a child.

Its like when Hunter S. Thompson trashes the hotel room in Vegas: "Maybe I had planned it all along."
