2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumYes, this all happened in just the last 24 hours.
Yesterday morning, we wrote that Donald Trump's campaign seemed like it was unraveling over his inexplicable clash with the Khan family. Twenty-four hours later, the word "unraveling" seems like an understatement. Take a look at what's happened in the last 24 hours:

Too many people out there who think this sort of behavior is not only acceptable, but to be applauded.

On the front of the New York Post for 2 consecutive days, and that naked pictures of Melania are now all over the Internet.
That by itself would be a huge story in a normal election year. The Trump campaign is so bad it doesn't even get a mention when listing incidents over the last 24-48 hours.
