    I've read 2 Trump hotel stories today; one about bookings being down by over a half this year and the other on plans to name new properties without his name attached as it is now too toxic. I am sure similar is true at his golf courses etc.
    This to me is better than just Trump heavily losing an election. His hate filled idiocy deserves to ruin him (and maybe take the GOP down with him as a nice bonus!).

    Doesn't this fly into the face of him doing this for personal gain and building a tv media empire?
    He overplayed his hand. But it could also mean he's going downmarket. The vast majority of the people he has recruited for his "movement" would never be able to afford a night at his hotel or a round at his golf course. But now he may have a new product to offer them that they can afford... media.

    Yeah I think he went into this thinking it would be great for his brand. I do think he probably didn't expect to win the nomination but when he did he doubled down.

    I really don't see how he escapes a major bankruptcy in the next few years. He was on the edge anyway.

    Especially since it was reported that he ran out of campaign money.

    Yeah and the self funding promises that he made that never came around.

    My prediction is that soon after the election he will have his campaign reimburse his companies for millions of dollars for rents/labor, etc. That would be a career ending move for any politician.

    I think it may have been his plan all along....conserve as much cash as possible to cash out in the end.

    Trump is so VAIN he thinks those songs are about him.

    one thing I agree with Trump on is this federal tax nonsense. He didn't pay. he used a loophole. it's not really a loophole if it's perfectly legal. he said last night "if it was not there, I wouldn't have used it. why didn't you get it changed?". I agree with him completely. he did nothing wrong. it's not a matter of ethics. it's a matter of legality. she needs to drop that narrative. trying to say he is unethical because he, as a businessman, used all the legalities available to him, is quite hypocritical.

    I totally agree.
    agree too, but I'd still REALLY like to see his returns. I think they might be quite illuminating.
    Oh, definitely! There has to be a reason why he is withholding them and making excuses as to why he hasn't yet. He would have been happy to release them if everything was on the up and up. He's either trying to hide behaviour he knows people will hate, and/or he's trying to hide that he's not nearly as wealthy as he claims to be.

    IBD still has him up and his Gettysburg speech was probably his best to date. That was surprisingly a real conservative platform.

    Is a comeback possible?

    If you're going to start a comeback, do you think this is the lead your want from your speech?

    Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. Total fabrication,” Trump said. “The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.”

    I'm not voting for him (or HER!) but people are severely under estimating the results. Nate Silver doesn't know anything - make a couple of predictions right sell out and get a new site and been awful wrong since.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    What a piece of shit. The guy threatens to sue fucking everybody. He is the most litigious person on the face of the planet. It is a key factor in the constant hissy fit that has become his permanent state of being.

    So Trump is saying he will propose a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits in his first 100 days.
    Now, it's been 20 years since I've taken introductory government civics in high school, but I'm pretty sure the President does not have that power. An Amendment like that can only be proposed via Congress or a Constitutional Convention, and I don't think he will have many members of congress biting at limiting their terms.

    I am guessing that he threw out that threat to sue these women because he hoped it would keep any more from coming forward. I hope it doesn't work.
