Republican "leaders" are running from him in droves, and that's real bad when they're running away. He's lost pretty much every voter demographic but angry single white males over 50 and Russian Trolls. He sees that light at the end of the tunnel - and it's a train comin'. Every time he opens his mouth lately he offends great swathes of people. By October he'll be like Hussein used to be, never sleeping in the same house two nights in a row. He knows all he las to look forward to in the next few months is NFL football. Curled up in a fetal position on his gold couch with his favorite orange snack (I see him as a baked cheetos kind of guy) and his gold clicker... and he'll be fine. He was in OH last night for a "rally" - ha! 1000 people in folding chairs off to the side of the main exhibition floor. He must have freaked when he saw the venue because he held an impromptu press conference before the event in a hallway. "This is so political. They have us limited all of a sudden to 1000 people. It's disgusting what they're doing. It's totally political. It's a shame." Our local reporter then went on to explain that his people knew this was the space and how many people it would be limited to well in advance, that he couldn't have the larger space on such short notice after the previous event had just finished. The previous event? Comic Con. A win for the geeks & nerds. If John Kasich had something to do with it I would be very proud.

I doubt that any sitting president has ever said something even remotely similar about an opposing party's presidential candidate. Here's the question: Is Obama doing this just to hit Trump hard? Or is he doing it in the very deliberate hopes of baiting Trump into going completely ballistic?

There are many who know Trump personally, some very close to him that suggest he does not want to lose or win. He wants to come very close, claim it was rigged and make millions off his next TV show. Which by the way will be designed to cater to his current fans. He is setting the stage now so he can say I told you so. I am not a loser, the system is rigged. ____________________________________________

Maybe it's just timing and it's been on the web already, but still... So I'm starting to see "rigged" used in reference to "war with Russia." We've seen those 2 trot out that idea/phrase in various forms for a while, and often, especially in terms of "If Hillary is elected... nuclear armageddon... she wants war with Russia." And now I'm seeing references (Eastern EU news paper with Russian leanings) of stories suggesting the same thing, "World War III is inevitable, it's rigged Because of the West, Because of Clinton... Sewing those seeds? The cagey KGB at work passing out free disinformation?

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Many Republicans in this country are asking if Trump is a sociopath; no joke. The second thing is that all serious people who are in politics are shitting themselves over the chance he may become President. Also ABC told trump not to come back because of all the crap he has said to alienate most Americans. They are also talking about Americans standing behind the Kahn family the way they have, as helping to show the world what Americans are all about. Thank whomever for that. I believe it is over for Trump. I do too. It's almost like he's committing political suicide lately. No props for McCain or Ryan while Pence just endorsed them - it's very odd. His pettiness online - it's a disaster. It's hard to believe he has any kind of end game with these moves. I can imagine him having a private moment with Melania saying, "Oh, don't worry. I have no intention of being president. Who the hell needs that kind of aggravation!"
