So far, in the past 24 hours the following has happened (7 pm update)

Last edited Thu Sep 15, 2016, 07:43 PM - Edit history (3)

The Donald:
-Insulted Colin Powell
-Insulted Pastor Faith of Flint, MI
-"Joked" that he doesn't care about people working more, because he has to work harder campaigning
-Took a stab at Hillary's health and "joked" about the rally hall being too hot
-New: Said he says a 35 year old man when he looks in the mirror
-New: Claimed gesturing at rallies was a form of exercise
-New: Said "We're all having fun together" when asked about his misogynistic comments (!!!!!)
-New: Said his black friends would call him the least racist person they know (!!!)

Ivanka:
-Walked out of a Cosmopolitan (!) Interview because a question was mean

The Don Jr:
-Implied no one wants to see his father's 12,000 page tax filing
-Made a Holocaust gas chamber (!!!) remark about the media's treatment of Clinton
-New: Refused to apologize and said he meant capital punishment gas chambers. So much better.
- New: Walked out of an interview when a question on the 6 ft Trump portrait came up

All of which are being reported to various degrees. I don't know if they've gotten cocky or if Trump is tired of having his hand held, but this may shape up to be a very interesting week.

And it is still just 7:00 pm EST.

If they weren't providing cover for him, their ratings would be abysmal.

Drumpf could massacre halls of his supporters and drink their blood on live TV and his 90% will hold position and vote for him anyway.

The block HRC seems to be focusing on ATM are the 18 - 34 y.o. supporting Stein, of which 15% of the LV are. Thus IMO yesterday's 20 tweets. If she gets half of them to rethink throwing their votes away on Stein, we could see a landslide of blue. Everybody wins. We need to get the young to recognize this fact, that we all win if we all vote as one.
