And I think he effed up today with his stupid attack on the media (not that I'm a fan of MSM, but I think this may blow up on him).

If he thinks his primary antics will last a week in the general he's a bigger fool than we think he is.

To paraphrase Toby Keith, the DNC, should light up his world like the 4th of July. We can then leave it to the voters to stick a boot up his ass.

He must be destroyed although I am still not sure he's running - he's out of his league.
He's also mentally ill on steroids.

That punk can and should be smacked down. He's like any cocky bully. After the first solid shot he collapses into whines. I hope they don't hesitate a second to unleash the attack dogs on this scumbag. He's got so many vulnerabilities he can't cover them all. And he's made so many enemies, his "friends" will melt away to avoid having him fall on them.

Hopefully we can stop it to the point that it will never surface again.

Les Moonves, CEO of CBS made the observation that although Donald Trump may be bad for the United States, he's great for CBS's ratings.

If it should turn out that taking Mr. Trump down will sell ads, the media will follow the money.

... he should be put in stocks in the town square and pelted with rotten fruit.

(Only half kidding - I wouldn't cry if this happened.)

He loses horribly, miserably, embarassingly. I suspect he'll be louder until the media finally puts him on Ignore.

I have long ago given up on what should happen, except with Obama's two elections. But I think it was because he's so cool..restrained..competent...he's everything.

This election is different. We have celebrity against reality. And the system prefers celebrity.

Needs to start questioning his mental state. If narrative is trump is disturbed he will lose bigly. There is plenty of evidence to back up an assertion that he is disturbed, a bit deranged even.

It's nothing that trump is not constantly described as in print media and Twitter.

So I say, why not?

Just look at this thread where we compete to see who can wish the most pain on him.
Which will elicit the same response in the other side...hate will beget hate...and nothing good ever comes from it.

Fear is the basis of control, and fear will dominate.
