Easy. Trump wants his base to know that he thinks that President Obama
wasn't born in America.

He's toast, knows it, and wants to bring as many down with him as he can.

This is just a nod and wink to Trump's real base and that is people who
are pissed off a black man is President.

Good for us. He runs against Obama three weeks before the election against Hillary — Trump logic

It makes you wonder how he got this far. But I guess if you find you are able to bully people your whole life. it worked for him.

These things will backfire. The reason Trump is losing is because he's an asshole, not because people love Hillary. These stunts just make him look like a bigger asshole.

I hope Hillary says her blessings every night. Against a candidate with less baggage and a few more working brain cells, this would have been a very difficult campaign.

this sexual abuser. He never should have gotten the nomination, but we're not complaining.

In fact, I think you can boil anything he does down to that simple fact – he's a racist piece of shit and his supporters are, too.

He's always fighting his Twitter wars and the battle in his head over and over....

Maybe to demonstrate how we allow radicalized Muslims into the country???

The town hall style debates need an audience, of course, but they are unnecessary and a distraction for the one-on-one discussions. They invite the kind nonsense in which Donald Trump is engaging.

Do he and his advisers really think that his invitees will shake Hillary Clinton in any way? Don't they know who she is by now?

Donald Trump is an idiot.

I would not be surprised to see Trump show up at the debate dressed as a clown,
riding onto the stage on a bicycle.

He's trying to punish the world for 'allowing' him to age and decline.

in all this. "Quid pro quo?" So what? Emails? So what? There is literally no point in trying to understand why Trump supporters and campaign say or do anything.

The other day at my physical therapy session, a sweet old lady announced that Obama was a muslim. My response? So what?

Hillary lies and cheats and steals--so what? The DNC sends operatives to rile up the Trumpites to the point of violence? So what?
It's all irrelevant and a waste of our time to spend an instant on.

Fuck them all.

basically.. get a grip and stop whining!

I thought he would go on twitter to bash him. He decided to this instead. President Obama does not care and Hilkary certainly does not care. Next move..Donald..

Now I've just said, "fuck it!" If Tiny Hands is going to go off the rails I want him to go off the rails at 200 mph.

He just keeps nodding to his deplorable base..that's all he cares about, he doesn't even care about the moderate Repub's under his tent who think he's an asshole but are voting because of party lines (and of course they hate Clinton). I really hope alone in voting booths people who have consciences will vote them.

Just curious.

He reduces women to the males around them.

More distraction from real politics. More distraction from his sexual assaults.

It's so absurd.

If Hillary Clinton brought Obama's half-brother, right wingers would be up in ARMS saying she's in cahoots with terrorists.

running his alt-right sideshow!

This is a Brietbart stunt. Bannon is the one behind all of this shit and Trump loves it. I really don't think Trump would have even know the name of the slain Benghazi soldier's mother's name. Probably would have never thought of it as he thinks of no one else and their lives other than his own.

Bannon must just be peeing in his pants with delight to have such a close influence on all of the people he and his rag website have been attacking all of these years. They all suck.

Was it just to get the free vacation?

So he's trying to turn the debate into Reality TV. He literally knows nothing else.

Because the only thing Trump knows is Reality TV

And big time wrestling too all show and not real.

Best thing I have ever read on Trump.

The ninth Republican debate, in Greenville, South Carolina, is classic Trump. He turns these things into WWE contests, and since he has actual WWE experience after starring in Wrestlemania in 2007, he knows how to play these moments like a master.

Interestingly, a lot of Trump's political act seems lifted from bully-wrestlers. A clear influence is "Ravishing" Rick Rude, an Eighties champ whose shtick was to insult the audience. He would tell ticket holders they were "fat, ugly sweat hogs," before taking off his robe to show them "what a real sexy man looks like."

As said in Mother Jones, he always wants to hit back at whoever or whatever has hit at him. And it will be his destruction, because politics and public office just isn't the same as the business world! It runs on different rules.

So no, he's not crazy, insane, or whatever. He's simply operating on a whole different value system. The Darwinian dog-eat-dog of the world of business.

He's trying to sell us a surprise, but there is nothing left of Trump that we haven't seen. The Howard Beale show is getting old
