And I think most Americans are smart enough to understand this.

That said, I do think he feels the masses are idiots and so does Hillary.
There is the difference you and I both know that they are.

Midnight Tweets From A Madman

Calling for people to watch a sex tape and using the adjective "disgusting" when mentioning the former Miss Universe should sink him like Romney's 47 percent comment.



But this is the America in which the GOP nominated him.

I wish I could believe that any of this will matter.

Will probably be a total meltdown.
I want a tipping point so this bozo gets put on the shelf for good.

Trump went full gonzo at a rally in Pa. tonight after he heard about the NY Times scoop on his taxes. He accused Hillary of fooling around on Bill and then mugged for the audience about Clinton having pneumonia at 9/11 remembrance. Unhinged doesn't begin to describe this malignant narcissus.

Time magazine had it right.

The Atlantic Comes Against Trump

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/...-trump/501161/


Here is a great tear down quoted from the above article

He is a demagogue, a xenophobe, a sexist, a know-nothing, and a liar. He is spectacularly unfit for office, and voters—the statesmen and thinkers of the ballot box—should act in defense of American democracy and elect his opponent.
