Haha.

Oh well I hope she can take lessons from Stephen Colbert on that. I always enjoyed "A Worthy Opponent".

What if this is the first presidential election in history in which the victor literally wins before November even happens?

with the democratic nominee sitting in a chair, or standing behind a podium and the other side having a sign behind it saying "where is the trump" with a empty chair or podium it would be something to see-----------because one on one he has no place to hide

the other *******, maybe his son, or daughter

I want to see those tax returns --------------David Cay Johnston on the XM progressive radio with Joey Reid ( she was sitting in for Michelangelo Signorile), and Malcolm Mann just explained who and what this fascists fraud really is---------he really has some explaining to do.

In fact I think the Khans should be one of moderators at the first debate, and then Tammy Duckworth with her Purple heart standing or sitting right besides and along the Khan's, after all she did lose both her legs in combat, and having Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and "all" the republicans being asked who is the patriot, for forty five years we've been hearing its your worthless party

Trump might stay above 15% even if he followed through on his hypothetical of shooting someone in the street. It would take a combination of him doing the most outrageous things you can imagine PLUS the Republicans finding some way to dump Trump and come up with a new, official GOP nominee, at the very least. Even then, getting below 20% would be a challenge.

Trump could voluntarily drop out of the race (yes, I know, not bloody likely) and there still might be 15% from dead-enders who'd keep supporting him as a write-in.
