Ailes side Trump couldn't focus during debate prep and he gave up which matches with other accounts about how bad Trump is at prep.

The Financial Times reported on Monday that Donald Trump’s son-in-law and campaign adviser Jared Kushner, publisher of the no-longer-influential New York Observer, has been in talks about starting a Trump TV network with an investment banker who helps advise media deals. Kushner approached the banker, Aryeh Bourkoff, about starting a network after the election, although the Times reports that Bourkoff is not seriously interested in working with Trump.

If he thinks this might happen it makes some of his insanity make more sense from his perspective but seems like a big gamble for everyone and pretty unlikely to work out.

Hey guess what GOP voters?

You threw away potentially retaking the White House on a guy who was really only interested in shoring up a potential base for his future media conglomerate.

DEPORT EM BIGLY

 

[still fly]

Trump is a living Facebook meme

 

[Damaramu]

As I watch this debate I wonder if Dadaramu is cheering and hollering when Trump says anything.

 

[Damaramu]

Surely this man is not going to be president.

 

[909]

I have a feeling this election is going to be a lot more distant in terms of results than the polls are saying right now. Could see Hillary winning by double.

About 17-20% sounds right to me right now.

He's gone from praising Putin to praising the leaders of ISIS. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with your country.

It sure is interesting being alive to see the decline and destruction of a super power.

If we go down, you go down with us partner

This isn't going to be a close election.

 

[Bored]

Cause it's rigged dawg.

Trump's non-concession speech on election night is going to be the greatest thing ever.

 

[ViciousFish]

His supporters aren't going anywhere. The GOP and Breitbart have opened Pandora's Box. Politics aren't going to get better from here on out.

His supporters do not carry enough weight to win a national election.

But they enough sway to control Congress

2018 is going to be very interesting

 

[ViciousFish]

Less than 90 minutes from "No one respects women more than I do" to "Such a nasty woman". It'd be impressive if it wasn't so sad.

 

[snuffbox]

We need to make sure Matt Drudge sees that picture Bored posted. Not only does it prove the election is rigged, it also shows how gravely ill Clinton is. After 20 years of posting crazy eye pictures of Hillary at the top of his page she cant even open them anymore.

 

[Bored]

The Illuminati puppet master was asleep!

It'll probably look a lot like 2010. This is really just the Tea Party all over again, except that now it's an openly white nationalist movement instead of a wink-wink-nudge-nudge white nationalist movement. Progress!

 

[still fly]

Lots of Dem seats open in the Senate in 2018 too.

good looks

Yep. Trumpism is a bigger problem than Trump himself.

Also, anyone find that there is so much "rigged" talk coming from Trump that at this point it's starting to sound like he is projecting on his opponent what he and his side plan to do?

 

[909]

No, because there are no Republican Sec of State that agree with him and it would be required for any plan to rig the election to be that high up.

He knows it's over and so does everyone else.

 

[Damaramu]

Are we sure they aren't praying in that picture? Does Trump pray?

 

[Damaramu]

Dadaramu's new rant from last night was Hillary saying that it's 4 minutes from the time the president gives the order to the time nuclear weapons are fired. He was screaming on Facebook "That's classified information you stupid bitch! You just can't help yourself!"

 

[909]

Wow your dad is a fucking idiot, but he's not the only one because I had to deal with one of these idiots last night.

It's information that the US willfully releases so that Russia/etc know that the MAD doctrine still holds true. They want other countries to know how fast our nuclear weapon launches take place. That's why people can find videos explaining exactly how it works. It takes 25-30 minutes for an ICBM to reach the United States from Russia, and 10 minutes from a submarine. It takes 3 minutes for an attack against us to be confirmed, and around the same time in order to launch a counter, so we want Russia to know that they can't possibly get rid of us without their country being destroyed in response.

 

[909]

Perhaps the most chilling thing about our nuclear weapons system is that soldiers have previously been fired for not alerting the President quickly enough to false attacks. If those people had been alerted, nuclear war already would have happened.

But all this is public information, so the idea that anyone released classified information by talking about it is foolish.

Delaware, Ohio (CNN)Donald Trump said Thursday he will accept the results of next month's election if he wins, a caveat that threatens to cast unprecedented doubt on the legitimacy of the electoral process.

Trump argued forcefully during a rally here that he was being asked to "waive" his right to contest the election after critics slammed him for refusing to pledge to accept the results of the election the previous night during the final presidential debate.

"Of course, I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result," Trump said. "And always, I will follow and abide by all of the rules and traditions of all of the many candidates who have come before me. Always."

The funniest thing about this campaign is when Trump says that Hillary and the Obamas hate each other and then the next day the Obamas are doing speeches for her. Or bringing up Bernie Sanders while Bernie is doing speeches calling Trump dangerous. I think that's one of the most effective ways Trump has questioned the legitimacy of his own campaign. He's effectively doing Hillary's campaigning for her.
