Nobody who watched He, Trump throw a public nutty in Cincinnati on Wednesday night can conclude anything beyond the fact that the Republican Party is preparing to nominate for president someone who has left the rails so far behind that he couldn't look back and see them anymore than the umpires could use the Juno spacecraft out by Jupiter to judge a close play at first base in tonight's game between the Brewers and the Nationals. The ship, in the immortal words of Micheal Ray Richardson, be sinking...

Bughouse. The man is literally bughouse. He shouldn't be nominated.

He should be comfortably lodged in some nice nervous hospital somewhere at least until they can get the voices in his head singing in some approximation of harmony. Some speakers go off on tangents. He's nothing but a tangent. Defending himself by slandering a Disney movie? Taking swipes at my man Chuck Todd's sleepy eyes?..

Nuclear codes? I wouldn't let this guy know my zip code. This is a man in need of careful watching. He's one small step from a milk crate in Washington Square.

2. Said it from the start

Pierce is right. There is something decidedly unhinged about Donald Trump. I listened to the first 20 minutes of the Cincinnati speech--cough, rant--then had to turn it off. The man is bonkers. No self-control, no complete thoughts. He rambled and droned on and on about . . . himself. And how he's being abused in the press over the Star of David fracas and Hussein remarks. It was craziness on display.

Scary shit!

3. Oh he's gone. I'm over here quietly saying "Push-push-push"

with the hope that under enough constant pressure he'll go right over the edge BEFORE the election.

4. That's what I'm hoping too, nola

I want him to be the R nominee. Then I want him, and his whole miserable party, to implode.

5. people said the same thing about W.

and the GOP never had better times

8. Dubya - whatever else he was/is -

was never certifiably bonkers. He also was the creature of KKKarl Rove, who stage-managed his every move. And never forget that Dubya was only and always the front man for Cheney. I don't believe that he himself actually realized this (he really thought HE WAS the "Decider&quot until his second term, when with Rice's help, he distanced himself somewhat from Cheney.

Trump listens only to the voice(s) in his own head and doesn't take direction from anyone else well at all. There's no Cheney and there's no Rove. It's basically chaos. Worst of all for the Pubbies, the BFEE doesn't appear to be throwing its considerable backing behind Trump.

6. some of us here on du were watching it last night. Same conclusion but of course

Pierce says it with a flare!

7. Charlie paints one hell of a picture of crazy...LOL!

But, this racist nutcase scares me. He's starting to fill up his war chest and will soon be competing with HRC in ads.

What if so many voters stay home that he manages to slither into office through the insanity of the Electoral College? I thinking Florida redux, here.

9. We must work as hard as we can to make sure that

does not happen! Otherwise

12. I support Donald Trump…

for the 2016 Republican nomination for president of the United States.

I support the nomination because the Republican primaries voters voted him the party’s 2016 nomination.

None of this has to do with my opinion…other than with respect to delivering with the will of the people as expressed through their votes.
