How many pivots should you be allowed before just being disqualified altogether?

Shouldnt there be some sort of pivot limit before just being declared too incompetent to be president? Like, if you cant find your groove in 3 pivots or less, perhaps your decision making skills are subordinate for the role of commander in chief. At some point you're not pivoting, you're just being fake. Trump is at the point of existential crisis.

It's not the "well, this is clearly bullshit. They even announced they were going to try it." reaction that it totally should be.

I think probably when he proposed to keep all muslims from entering the country-- that should have instantly disqualified him. And it's only been more of the same idiocy since then.

But fuck... Republican voters just eat that shit up.

It's August 20. If the media were to shut this off now, it would only give hope to the down ballot Republicans that they could separate themselves from Trump. No, let this play out, he's surrounded himself by fantasists and nutjobs - extremists. Plus he has said so much that any "positivity" he comes out with over the next 10 weeks, will be countered by the Clinton Campaign with HIS OWN WORDS !

with the primaries. No one ever thought he'd make it as far as he's gotten. They essentially created this monster, and IMO it's their responsibility to take him down. I hope to hell they know what they are doing because it is a fine line they're straddling.

that's most important. The media will gobble up whatever they are given.

No Republican who ran had the spine to stand up to him & keep fighting.

IMO, there may have been blackmail used. Who knows what kind of files have been collected over the decades of hacking by foreign government professionals, 'private' naughty emails collected, private parties with hidden cams recording, and 'hackers' like Murdocks voice mail snooping 'trick'.
