Is Trump Quitting?

Filed in National by on June 21, 2016

I’m stealing this directly from Daily Kos.

A speech tomorrow in NYC concerning the election. That’s all that’s in the release.

Maybe the Kochs paid his ransom.

    That’s a crazy press release… designed to get more free press?

    How does he quit? Does he pull a Ross Perot? Say everyone was out to get me? The only thing I’m sure of is this: If he does drop out he’ll blow up what’s left of the GOP on his way out the door.

    The more I think about this the more I think his dropping out is possible. If he drops out then he gets to not only get his victim on, he also gets to pretend he would have won had he stayed in the race.

    This illustrates Trump’s problem in a nutshell. Unless the newest thing is more outrageous than the last new thing, excitement dissipates and he slips further in the polls.

    This is a predictable move, what you’d expect from having a professional put in charge: Go on the offensive, try to shift the focus away from all the bad news about your own candidate by hammering your opponent’s weakness.

    Trouble is, Trump’s attacks so far haven’t probed raw wounds, just picked old scabs. The attacks of the 90s don’t interest people today. OTOH, most people do NOT know much about the Clinton Foundation, for example, and a skillful blend of fact and innuendo could prompt the press to probe more deeply. Giving the press a new shiny object is a smart move; Politico is guaranteed to take the lure.

    Unfortunately for the GOP, Trump is not skillful at this sort of thing. He has no command of facts and so is likely to overstate them. Clinton then easily counters by highlighting his lies and exaggerations, reinforcing the emerging picture of him as a liar and con-man.

    One real thing has been revealed by all his: Who’s really wielding the power. Trump’s children, it seems, are the only ones who can pierce his self-delusional bubble with news from the real world.

    Ivanka would be a much better candidate than her dad . Classy and well spoken.

    a literal pile of feces would be a much better candidate than Trump.

    The GOP right deserves Trump and all the fallout that comes from his candidacy

    Exactly, and that is what is running against him.

    OH c’mon. Give Gary Johnson a little more credit than that.

    Tom Kline is too dumb to realize that he just admitted that a pile of feces is a better candidate than Trump.

    Way to go, Tom! Keep up the good work, champ!
