Is apparently tired of reports of him being controlled and is ready to take off the gloves and be more aggressive


Can't wait

This is very good news! I was beginning to fear that he might rein it in for the stretch run. Sounds like the shit-show may get even more entertaining.

And with any luck Brietbart goes down the toilet with him.

Doubt it, not with the way Trump and Breitbart will gleefully tell the voters that if Trump loses it's because the vote was rigged or ACORN (defunct for years) stole the election for Clinton.

I don't think most voters are that stupid. Many certainly are, but I think outside of the wacko bigot wing of the right that got him the nomination, you won't see people falling for that.

He will lose decisively in the Electoral College but with 40% or more of the popular vote - these people aren't going away.

I don't think popular vote is really thst indicative of the popular vote for him.

Being the republican candidate probably automatically secures at least 1/3 - 2/5 the popular vote lol..

The whacko bigot wing is like 15% of our country. They haven't fallen for it; they are it.

I don't disagree, but my point is that they will not take defeat quietly. Obama had it easy compared to what Clinton is going to face.

Oops, false alarm. We now have confirmation that there has been no shake up in the Trump campaign, on the unimpeachable authority of Katrina Pierson:

She might inherit a more workable congress, however. I'm also interested to see how the things play out between Trump supporters and the Tea Baggers who supported Cruz. The internecine fighting in the GOP might distract them from any conflict with President Clinton.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I said?

It is the toilet.

So it is! I was still referring to why Brietbart will never die, but rise crazier and crazier.

They are being smarter about their handling of news. Stephen Bannon discovered that people (investigative journalists and big news outlets especially) like real news, not rumors, and so while he runs the crazy-pants hothouse that is Brietbart he also runs the investigative journalist tank of Government Accountability Institute.

Their intense hatred of Clinton could also bring them together. Not necessarily as a truly unified force but as a matter of convenience by having a common enemy. But as you stated, much will depend on the Congress and Senate as to whether Clinton will actually get anything done. Regardless, the voices of opposition will be very loud in many parts of the country and the divisions will be amplified.

Fair enough.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but here's a pretty good take down of Trump's medical letter:

Not quite. The doctor who died in 2010 was the father of the doctor who wrote the letter. His name is only relevant at all because it appears in the letterhead. This is slightly peculiar because it implies the letterhead hasn't been updated for at least that length of time (and given the age of Jacob Bornstein at death, likely a good deal longer), and is a somewhat peculiar oversight to make (similar to the typo) in a letter that is likely to receive so much public scrutiny and attention. It implies a certain inattention to detail, but it's not really all that significant.
