    Next time Obama does a speech about the Donald, he's going to cite North Korean propaganda materials as evidence.

    What Donald to do something crazy, just criticize him.

    Eh, while I think that criticism is also baseless, allegations of corruption in a party primary is a lot different from allegations of corruption in the general election.

    The facts seem to have an anti-Trump agenda. WEIRD!

    The initial polls suggest what any logical and sane person already knew - Trump is gonna get killed. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives.

    One thing about the recent polls:

    We are seeing the "ban Muslim entry" question receiving a good deal of support, even majority support, in a poll after the Orlando shooting. Meanwhile, we are seeing Trump getting, well, schlonged interms of personal favorability.

    It seems that there is a rather large number of people who agree with Trump's "ban Muslim entry" proposal and still have a negative opinion of Trump. I think this signals a moment where Trump might have officially jumped the shark and even some people who hold the same opinion that he expresses don't see him as a viable POTUS.

    Is it against a certain law to share similar ideas with someone you do not like?

    The RNC will have to set some millions aside for a 24/7 damage control team. For live broadcast event, best they follow broadcast standard and implement a 7-second profanity / I mean Trump delay. They probably should take over his twitter account also.

    Well, there's a big difference between Republican primary voters and general election voters. As a result, general election candidates tend to moderate their rhetoric to attract independent voters and then there's Trump going even more bat**** crazy. Trump is doubling down on stupid even more than Republicans usually double down on stupid. It's beautiful!

    Not to criticize you directly, but I just want to say I'm not a fan of the phrase "doubling down". I see it everywhere, especially in writing about politics.

    It's often used as a way to apply a negative connotation to someone being consistent.

    Trump talks crap about minorities, has all along. And he's still doing it. Meh. But I guess "Trump DOUBLES DOWN on Rhetoric" is a better headline than "Trump keeps saying the kind of things he's been saying"

    Why is Russia trying to help Trump get elected? Why is Trump so nice to Putin and advocates for ending NATO?

    What's going on there? It's INCONCEIVABLE!!!

    Russia under the thumb of ex-KGB operative Putin is quite capable of anything, including attempting to interfere with our elections.
