like his brand of never apologizing and never be self-depricating (so much for Christian humility!) but, happily, the vast majority of Americans don't.

I absolutely could not believe what tRump did last night, I was in shock after watching him. He's totally flipped out, it's now obvious to the world that he's absolutely filled with hatred and bigotry. He's lost any hope of ever setting foot in the White House, he knows it, and now is full of anger and is going full scorched earth.

Nor the rape of a minor indictment that will hit him just a couple weeks after the Nov 8th election.

Only pals he'll have left are the ignorant.

He probably thought he was being funny when he is actual just plain cruel.

...they have a mean streak, and think that is the same thing."

Luckily I live where it's pretty Blue, but I can't think of a single repuke I've ever met who didn't have that mean streak. Just a matter of degree, some can be pretty funny if they're intelligent enough but still, the main thing is the mean streak.

Yecch.

Conservative "sense of humor" is always like this.

just fucked up our event completely" is what is hidden between the lines!



Note Fox's Maria first smiles when Trump calls Hillary corrupt, but then her jaw dropped too, at 18:12.

Trump was so vile, even Fox reporters were appalled, albeit with a two seconds delay

to come out and usher the nutcase off the stage

managed to do that.

see that he really was not "friends" with the rich and powerful. They indulged him because he could write checks for their campaigns or their charities and his name added to the "star power" of the events. Now he is an object of disgust for many of them, including some Republicans.

It may be that some of them were surprised by how completely disgusting he is - as they see and learn more of who he is. It may be that they always knew he was a creep, but they saw him as a creep they could use to get money without doing anything else. Note that none of the many Democrats he ever gave money to have been accused of doing anything for him in return. Likely what he "bought" was the ability to sit among them.

Watch the first words that he spoke where he very bitterly spoke of how (the audience) once welcomed him to their homes until he became a Republican. In fact, the audience is not all Democrats and it wasn't him becoming a Republican that has made most of these people view him with disgust. It is who he is and things he has done and said.

I can not imagine how he will deal with losing. The graciousness of McCain, Romney, Gore or Kerry is completely unlikely. Those 4 men ran races they could be proud of representing their parties with grace and integrity, Trump has appealed to the worst - though long present - side of America. He makes Nixon and W look honorable in comparison. How will this egotistical creep deal with not just losing, but losing badly. Some say he intends to set up a media network for the alt right, others argue that he will lead the alt right again in 2020. I hope that his loss which hopefully takes many down ticket races with it - in a year - the Republicans once saw as promising for them will lead to the alt right and far right to disown him - maybe even calling him a Democrat!

The mean spiritedness of many of his "jokes" - to me - stems from a growing bitterness. The more the bitterness and meanness shows - and this was a kid sent to military school by rich parents, the more unattractive he will appear and the more others will distance themselves. I honestly do not think he has the ability to hide that emptiness inside him. Just as he, at this dinner, starts his words attacking the audience for deserting him, imagine how his world changes on November 9. Any nominee who loses loses their dreams for what they could have done, but most can continue to work on the issues that define them for who they are. Most also retain the love and respect of their friends and family and likely the respect of new supporters who learned more about them as they ran.

Trump started as a well known reality show performer, thought to have created a huge real estate empire. His brand is now toxic for at least half the country -- and after losing -- maybe rising to almost everyone. The campaign - as campaigns do - exposed him more than he was ever known before and little of what was found was pretty. He has been an obnoxious, racist, sexist man who has consistently used and abused anyone he could. Given all that has been learned, he will end this race with his reputation and his "brand" (valued in billions by him) in tatters - with no one to blame but himself.

These next three weeks can not go fast enough for me -- my intense visceral reaction to even seeing him on TV is far beyond my reaction even to the loathsome Dick Cheney.

Great read.

That or no one dared to hand him a script that actually was NOT mean spirited and had too much self-depreciation in it.

But they probably wanted to end the evening on a bright note.
