Latest prediction figures from PREDICTWISE announced on Morning Joe:

To Win the General Election in November:

DEMOCRATS: 65% chance

REPUBLICANS: 35% chance

(Presented by Steve Rattner)

And, Scar just said, verbatim: "Trump has demonstrated this week that he doesn't have the self-discipline to win".

Then, David Ignatius said: "His Mad-Max antics, like smacking down the Latina Republican Governor of New Mexico last night at his Albequerque rally, make no sense for somebody who wants to win."

as "Pochahontas", and on and on. He's completely out of control, and is listening to no-one but his own ego for campaign strategy.

I did see something on the Obama Diary that Elizabeth Warren is just getting started with trumped.

She must have hit a nerve.



Elizabeth Warren's Anti-Trump Onslaught Looks Like It's Just Warming Up

"The free ride is over."

Elizabeth Warren isn't ready to endorse Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, but she's had no trouble going after Clinton's presumptive Republican opponent, Donald Trump. Warren and Trump have sparred on Twitter ever since The

Donald locked up the Republican nomination, and on Tuesday night she expanded her arguments against him during a speech at the annual gala for the liberal nonprofit Center for Popular Democracy.

"Let’s face it: Donald Trump cares about exactly one thing—Donald Trump," said the senator from Massachusetts, according to her prepared remarks. "It's time for some accountability because these statements disqualify Donald Trump from ever becoming president. The free ride is over."

Warren's attack on Trump wasn't quite as harsh as it's been in the past; during her first tweetstorm after he secured the nomination, she said that he had "built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia." But that doesn't mean she held back during her speech Tuesday. She began by reflecting on the human toll from the foreclosure crisis, then tied it to an NBC report this week that quoted Trump, shortly before the housing market crash, saying he was "excited" for the bubble to burst since he'd make money
off the misfortune it caused. "Donald Trump was drooling over the idea of a housing meltdown," Warren said, "because it meant he could buy up a bunch more property on the cheap."

She also zeroed in on a topic that has been a growing cause of frustration for Democrats: Trump's refusal to release his tax returns, as major presidential candidates have long done. "Maybe he's just a lousy businessman who doesn't want you to find out that he’s worth a lot less money than he claims," Warren speculated. Echoing a video from her 2012 Senate campaign, Warren emphasized that "Donald Trump didn't get rich on his own"; he inherited a fortune from his father, and "his businesses rely on the roads and bridges the rest of us paid for. His businesses rely on workers the rest of us paid to educate and on police forces and firefighters who protect all of us and the rest of us pay to support."

Trump can't do shit to her and she can pick him apart until November. He just blabs his stupid internet crap about her and she researches his weaknesses and uses her superior intelligence to smack him around.

It's nice to see her out and about having some fun after the Bernie Nutz have been so mean and annoying to her all of these months.

I feel your pain, but we're going to let this thing keep running until the voting is done.

Once it's all over, we're going to clamp down pretty hard on the BS
