    Trump's outrage: Donald Trump Calls Allegations by Women ‘False Smears’

    “The establishment and their media neighbors wield control over this nation through means that are very well known — anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally deformed,” Mr. Trump said. “They will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation. They will lie, lie, lie, and then again, they will do worse than that. They will do whatever’s necessary.” [emphasis mine]

    And *anyone* that challenges Trump ... um, well... pretty much the same thing.

    [ He -- and the RNC (establishment) and Fox News (media neighbors) -- really shouldn't be casting these stones. ]

    Trump is showing that he doesn't even know how to be a politician. After the tape came out on Friday, a real politician would have rushed to the cameras with his best insincere apology ("in case anyone was offended"), dismissed it as a youthful indiscretion, and put it behind him.

    But Trump's ego and thin skin won't allow that. Instead he has to find someone to blame for his self-inflicted wounds, and go on the offensive against them. Rather than defusing the situtation, he escalates it into a battle he can't win.

    which is the burying of critical stories. All these released tapes and allegations of sexual assault should have come out long ago, at least before the RNC primary. Instead they were intentionally held to benefit HRC.

    For some reason there's a Neo-McCarthy era going on right now about Russia.

    I don't think it runs that deep. The USA and USSR^w Russia are just having a catfight, where they take turns accusing each other of bad behavior in hopes of getting some advantage out of it with the international community.

  15. How do Trump supporters arrive at the "might stand up to wall street" conclusion for a clear member of the oligarch class whose tax plan clearly favors the affluent as opposed to Clinton who has at least furnished one that seems to favor the middle class?

    Please, tell me, how on earth to arrive do you arrive at the conclusion that some one like him will favor the middle class over the affluent? There's certainly nothing in the few actual policy proposals he's floated that suggests that.

    It's just wishful thinking, mustered to provide an excuse for voting for him.

    Just like the religious right, who for some reason think their interests will come first when he appoints judges.

  16. quote>These Wikileaks releases do seem pretty one-sided.

    No worries. The mainstream media is already releasing every nasty thing on Trump they can dig up. Someone has to release nasty stuff on Hillary too, since it sure as shit isn't going to come from CNN.

    The MSM has been harping on bogus Clinton scandals for decades.

    As for Trump, it's only been 2-3 weeks since they switched from playing laugh-at-the-dancing-monkey to dipping him in his own shit. I don't know whether that's because they are worried about the outcome, or just got pissed off at the way he has treated them, but either way the honeymoon is over and they're going to pound him into the ground.

    There's a good chance it will all be over after Sunday's debate.
