Bonus Quote of the Day (from Romney's campaign manager)

“Donald Trump is Todd Akin. He is Richard Mourdock and Sharron Angle. But that is really not fair to Akin, Mourdock and Angle. They weren’t nuts. They had political views and others that made them unelectable. With Donald Trump, it is instability. He is an absurd candidate for president. He is a neutron bomb that has gone off in the Republican Party that is destroying anyone near him.”

— GOP strategist Stuart Stevens, quoted by the Huffington Post.

Most of those previous nuts in politics had an off switch. They made their terrible gaffes exposing who they really were, then they shut the f--- up and tried to bury it. Donald Trump just keeps spewing.

Losing is the ultimate off switch.

I hope people get that.
