Not a Tailor

I just finished watching the debate. In reality, it WAS the Donald Trump show--in fact, even the 'full' versions available to watch online have had to excise some of his comments because Univision is claiming copyright issues and he STILL spoke more than anyone else. He spoke over 11 minutes, while the next highest speaker (Bush) spoke not even 9 minutes. In a debate with 10 people where the third through tenth place candidates (in terms of speaking time) spoke 6:27, he spoke around 4 minutes and 45 seconds longer than eight out of ten candidates.
It is empirical fact that, especially as many of the questions asked of other candidates asked them to discuss things Trump had said and as he spoke nearly 5 minutes longer than 8/10 candidates, that it WAS the Donald Trump show.
Yes, he brought down the house with that comment--which just proves that his buffoonery is bringing down the tone of the whole debate and will eventually hand the election over to the democrats.
Even if he fails to win the nomination, he has lowered the tone of discussion on the republican side so far that the democrats will win. It's like he's literally running as a republican candidate entirely to ensure that the democrats win.

Trump really has put them in a terrible situation. If they do toss him out on his ear, he's all but said he'll run as an independent, in last night's debate. If he does that, the Republicans haven't got a hope in hades and the two party system will die rapidly because the Republicans' only longterm hope of survival, if Trump runs as an independent, is to offload the fringe loonies and focus on becoming a more moderate party.
The only hope for America is that enough people vote in the Democratic primary to get Bernie Sanders the nomination. Whichever democrat gets it is going to win and Sanders will be the best for the middle class and the poor and gives a toehold (not even a whole foothold, with how oligarchical the US political system is) to the possibility of actual change and political reform.
So the best case scenario here is a) two party system becomes a three party system, b) Sanders gets the democratic nomination and c) longterm political reform.
Worst case is that Trump gets the nomination and the world ends.

Good theory. I never thought they would sabotage their own efforts, but then again, having a killer long game is crucial in politics.
What's sad now is Trump has put them in a very precarious situation. If they pull him, the base is going to be upset since he's appealing the the extremists who've hijacked the GOP a long time ago. If they let him stay, he'll get the nomination and proceed to crash and burn once he gets on the national stage, ensuring another 4 to 8 years of Democratic rule. They have to decide which path to take, it's either lose little or lose big.

Oh, I definitely do NOT think he actually is a plant (and knows it, at least)--he's not smart enough to play double agent like that. It's just that his attitude and statements honestly sound like he is one, possibly unwittingly.
But then, I am queen of GOP conspiracy theories.
My theory last election when they announced Palin (let's face it, that was the last election that counts--Obama was never going to be a single term president) was that they were literally throwing the election.
See, they only had one 'valid' candidate in the field--McCain. He was going to be running, they knew, against either a woman or a black man. They also knew that the president who inherited the nightmare that Bush was leaving and, by proxy, that president's party would be blamed for every last bit of the cleanup from that mess and that that person would be held more responsible for the mess than the man who created it in the first place would be. Their electability in the longterm future was going to be based on two things: 1) not having been the people responsible for Bush's mess in terms of the disgusting, rotten aftermath and 2) the direction that the rising Christian extremists were taking, something they would have had trouble predicting in 2007/2008 when they were running the campaign.
Therefore, it was in their best interests in terms of longterm power, to let the black man or woman get the presidency so they could spend the next eight years blocking legislation and making that president look like a bumbling fool and therefore have the strongest possible presidency (meaning they had the president, the house, all levels of government completely red) and knock everything out of the park in the 2015/2016 election.
So they announced Palin as running mate, let her be the scapegoat for McCain losing and then proceeded to block Obama's administration.
Now they're trying to reap the benefits, but the problem is that the Christian Extremists have been poked and prodded for the past eight years to see who they are, what they're standing for and what they're doing. Meanwhile, Obama's administration has managed to keep the vast majority of their promises and be actually very effective in spite of very public efforts by the republicans to block progress. So the only people that they can actually win over are those extremists and we're seeing the results of an attempt to pander to extremists off their gun toting, government hating properties long enough to vote.
Their long game failed and now Trump is ruining the game they laid out by being a bigger buffoon than any of them could ever be and winning more of the extremist vote and now the republican party will crumble and die.

Since when is it perverted for a man to want a young, attractive woman to give him a #######?
I thought that was LITERALLY what you go on vacation for, every time?

Attacking Rosie to me made no sense at all. But then again this is Trump we're talking about here. I don't think he's a plant for the DNC(no matter how bad it gets, he's doing this on his own), but he might just be trying to appeal to that hidden base of voters like VOL, who don't care about substance, they just want to see THAT type of person back in the white house. His entire platform is based on a racist comment about Mexicans, and because of it, he's propelled through the polls. He's aiming squarely at those people hoping it will be enough to win the nomination.
It also looks like he's a misogynist as well.

JFK and Bill Clinton were cheaters. Considering that you call yourself an international playboy, is that perversion?

What does he want to replace Obamacare with? Trumpcare? Where a doctor looks at you and goes 'You're fired' and then throws you out of his office onto the street?

But I must be witnessed by Immortan Joe so that I may ride to the gates of Valhalla shiny and chrome.
I LIVE. I DIE. I LIVE AGAIN.

Imagine... Trump will no longer need to remarry when the current wife gets too old or answers him back. He can have a replica of himself built to invite to the ever dwindling party in his pants.
