i just listened to trumps speech. NOT ONE WORD OF POLICY.... all Hillary bashing.

the things he accused her of were more than criminal.

it was chilling as the crowd chanted 'lock her up, lock her up, lock her up'

this is a sick nation.

I can't sleep thinking of this guy in the White House with Ailes and his buddy from Brietbart at the controls.

I am going to have to stop listening to politics on tv, I can't even stand the sound of his voice.

He is making George W. Bush look like a genteel, wise old statesman by comparison. I thought I hated W, but that was nothing compared to the absolute visceral loathing I feel for Trump. He just makes my skin crawl.

The fact that there are so many people out there that admire him is even creepier!

That is above and beyond the call of duty. I can't do it anymore. I wait for the pundit's reactions. They get paid for such hazardous duty.

I saw a few minutes of him, and you're right. He spent all his time warning people about Hillary the Evil One. This may seem like a non-productive campaign tactic, let alone a comprehensive campaign strategy, but disaffected people scare easily, and we have millions of disaffected citizens. They feel they missed out on something, and it's somebody's fault. It's certainly not their own fault for living beyond their means, not saving for retirement, giving their money to televangelists, etc. It must be the liberals, stealing their tax dollars for Negroes and Messkins. Yep, that's gotta be it. So Trump keeps hammering at them, and they dutifully pass the word along to their neighbors, telling them Hillary is going to have the state take away their children, teach atheism in the schools, and so on. I have actually heard these stories repeated, with lots of head nodding to indicate belief and agreement. So they are out there, the credulous, the vulnerable, the ill informed, the fearful. Most of all the fearful. And they will vote.

They are eating it up with a spoon. It doesn't matter at all if there is not one ounce of truth in what he says. They don't care as long as they have a target for their rage and hatred.

...tear his group of Supremacists to shreds. Her speech at 3pm et today is the coup de grace to his bull shite & his dying campaign.
His Team is about to be called out one by one for who they truly are. The soul of American white supremacy.

Trump's speech was clearly damage control for what's about to go down.

Here she is now..
