    I love seeing these Republican pundits having to come to the defense of the Donald every time he does something completely moronic and indefensible. He's basically exposed the insane lengths that the majority of Republicans will go to in the name of partisanship. If I wasn't so sure that he was in this race for the eventual monetary benefits at the end of the road (think Trump TV), I would think that he was pulling off the most incredible troll job in world history.

    That girl backstabbed Trump after all Trump did for her. She's also admitted to accessory to murder. Clintons got a real angel on their side.

    You keep making excuses for your guy. Face it, he's his own worst enemy. All he has to say when confronted with these things is, "No, I did not say that" and "I want to talk about the issues, not personal matters from over 20 years ago." Or any of a number of things such as that.

    But the problem is that your candidate can't stop. He can't let things go. He can't handle criticism. He can't stop himself from going Twitter crazy over every perceived slight. He can't learn to control himself. He can't understand the importance of decorum and protocol when you're running for the highest office in the land.

    In other words, he can't.

    Character assassination will surely help you on this issue. Please continue!

    As bad as some of you perceive Clinton, the fact is that the email controversy is the one and only thing that Trump can possibly make stick. The Clinton Foundation items are bogus, all the conspiracy theory items are just that, she was not responsible for what happened at Benghazi (and BTW, why do they make it sound like the President and Secretary of Defense didn't exist when this happened?), etc.

    You can have real, legitimate beefs with her policies- absolutely, if you are a conservative. But it's simply ludicrous to try to make these 2 sound equal at this point. If any rational human being out there cannot see the difference between these two, I can only conclude that there's a magnitude of ignorance at play or a complete understanding that they know how bad Trump is but are too far into this and can't reverse course now.

    I mean, it's unbelievable- it's so difficult for them to find crap on Clinton that they have to resort to "Well, I'll bring up Bill's infidelities"- this coming from an adulterer - matter of fact, you got the Adulterer Triumvirate of Gingrich, Giuliani, and Trump working jointly on this- and what President Clinton did when he was in office (NAFTA, etc.). What's the extreme version of grasping at straws? Grasping at nitrogen?

    Sadly like all things Trump, even his 5AM twitter salvo in his week long campaign for the Presidency of the United States of America against a former beauty contestant for gaining weight was full of lies - there is apparently no such tape.

    Hitting the nail on the head:

    http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/201...t-storm-alicia-machado-points-deeper-n657466/

    Donald Trump, always at least knee deep in the fever swamps, is now drowning in them.

    Still reeling from Monday's widely panned debate performance, the Republican nominee has found refuge in a fringe media environment where his victory is assured, his setbacks are the result of shadowy plots, and his critics are humiliated by sordid revelations.

    On Friday, he let loose with an early morning Twitter outburst against former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, escalating a feud with her that began at the debate over his past criticism of her weight — criticism he repeated on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    "Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?" Trump tweeted.

    Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?

    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)September 30, 2016
    Machado responded on social media herself, accusing Trump of "trying to revive defamation and false accusations about my life" and adding that she became a citizen "because my daughter was born here and I wanted to exercise all my rights, among them, voting."

    Set aside for a moment the politics of a candidate already losing women and Latino voters by large margins then smearing a Venezuela-born actress over her sexual ethics and questioning her citizenship. (Yes, that again.) Set aside the hypocrisy of Trump — who once called venereal disease "my personal Vietnam" and has a long history of crude rhetoric and adulterous behavior — questioning Machado's personal life. Even set aside the questions Trump's behavior raises about his impulse control, which has become a central line of attack for his opponent Hillary Clinton.

    Instead, let's consider the voices to which Trump is listening.

    The alleged Machado "sex tape" Trump cited appeared to be a hoax widely promoted in fringe pro-Trump outlets like Infowars. Other sites like Drudge Report have spread grainy stills of a love scene from a reality show Machado starred in. Radio host Rush Limbaugh called Machado "the p*rn-star Miss Piggy" this week. And Trump, desperate for encouragement after his debate, is huffing these sycophantic fumes like never before.

    Two Women Trump Supporters Weigh In on His Machado Twitter Rant 0:42
    This is nothing new. Trump has a long history of championing conspiracy theoriesthat target his opponents and turning to wacky supportive sources to confirm them — from birtherism to falsely tying Sen. Ted Cruz's family to the JFK assassination.

    Since the debate, though, his tendency to cocoon himself in an alternate reality of fawning commentary has both worsened and infected the rest of his campaign, creating a political crisis less than two weeks from the second presidential debate.

    that originated on a Russian propaganda site. And he's obsessively pushed non-scientific fan surveys at sites like Breitbart to prove he won the debate, which his campaign insists are more reliable than rigorously conducted polls showing he lost the debate by a wide margin.

    At the same time, Trump stopped doing press conferences two months ago and has largely confined himself to interviews with friendly conservative outlets, which further insulates from outside views. Even then, he seems unable to help himself: His post-debate rants about Machado's weight this week came during easygoing interviews with Fox News hosts.

    Meanwhile, campaign aides are left gently pleading with Trump via the press to come in from the cold and begin to acknowledge the damage he's done.

    Dr. Ben Carson, a prominent supporter, told MSNBC on Friday Trump was following Clinton down a "rat hole" by attacking Machado over and over again.

    "You know it's going to be so much better when he begins to focus on the real issues," he said.

    Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told the hosts of The View on Thursday that she had reprimanded Trump for his language toward women even as she defended his behavior toward Machado. Campaign sources complained to NBC News this week that Trump did not adequately prepare for the first debate and suffered a "disaster" as a result.

    Trump, well aware of the campaign within his campaign to force him back to a more conventional message, lashed out against the press on Friday.

    "Remember, don't believe 'sources said' by the VERY dishonest media," he tweeted. "If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist."

    There's no small amount of irony here. As mentioned earlier, Trump regularly makes outlandish claims based on unnamed or nonexistent citations — whether it's the "extremely credible source" who told him Obama's birth certificate was forged, or his false claim that TV footage exists showing "thousands and thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 terror attacks. He even defended tweeting fake crime statistics spread by white supremacists to smear blacks, telling Fox's Bill O'Reilly the source — Twitter user @SeanSean252 — was "supposedly an expert."

    In the meantime, while Trump listens to fans tell him his misogynist attacks on Machado are on the verge of breaking through and winning him the election, the Clinton campaign seems all too eager to continue the conversation.

    "What kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories?" Clinton tweeted on Friday.

    I'm more disappointed Trump didn't follow through with the Miss World p*rn star sex tape rumors.

    If he can't deliver with his base disgusting accusations, how could he deliver to his baskets of dicks and degenerates once in office.
