Donald Trump is a man obsessed with revenge. It's as strong a driving force in his life as his greed. However, winning the 2016 election wasn't enough for him because to him revenge means having your "enemy" crawl on their belly in front of you and beg you to let them live. Donald Trump lives in cartoonish version of a mob drama. La Cosa Nostra would never behave the way he does because, in all honesty, getting things done is more important than appeasing your personal needs. The mob would have people around to steer you away from stupid obsessions - like in a real Presidential administration. Instead, Trump rages not only against Clinton or Comey or Obama, but against his own staff. The latter are the mommy and daddy he both needs approval from and despises - constantly screaming at them, "You're not the boss of me." If an advisor says, "Maybe this Clinton thing is a distraction," Trump will double-down like a four year old while looking you right in the eye. A deeply disturbed man.
Not that it would happen, but if Democrats do decide to expand the Supreme Court in response to Republican capture of the judiciary, it would make GOP heads explode if among others, they installed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the Supreme Court.
We'd need at least 4*: Barack Obama, Katie Porter, and two other quite obviously not "conservative" judges. Katie Porter would be an excellent Justice because, even when we didn't like her decisions, they would be based on current law, rather than assumptions about what the Founders were thinking when they compromised on the wording in the Constitution. Rush would have an apoplexy; Carter would join him. We could point and laugh.
Hillary Clinton, I believe, has the good sense to not accept the position if offered. From what I hear, she's kind of enjoying being a private citizen, particularly when she can tweak the wingnuts' noses without them realizing it.
The right wing has had a lot of time to rile up the base against Hillary but not so much against Joe. Trump is trying anything and everything to see what works.
A style manual is one thing but the bludgeon of jiggered fairness has no place in the hands of an editor, just as propaganda has no place masquerading as reporting. I'd hate to be the one who has to change out the drop cloth under the wall of what sticks at Fox.
I'm very worried because 40% still think trump is capable of running the country, oblivious to the fact that he's ruining it, sycophants such as Hugh Hewitt are given a platform to weave fairy tales (and shore up support for Pence) on MSNBC & CNN and the Republicans are working overtime to suppress the vote.
Disagree about the attacks on Hillary being caused by misogyny. The RW hates her because she’s a Clinton. The attacks on Bill were no less vehement. She just happened to be the candidate and target this time.
Beyond that I associate myself with Paul’s comment. This is Trump seeking revenge for opposing him in the election & actually getting more votes.
Fox is tied to Trump and his moods. They can’t cut loose now. It’s way too late for them to “discover” Trump is insane.
Misogyny is not high on my list as well. I lean toward laziness. He worked the audience once with his Hillary crap. It seemed to work, so it is easy to just do it again. He does not have the intellectual energy to care about context.
I had been aware of Isabell for quite some time, but never fully paying attention to him. But “Alabama Pines “ really got my attention for whatever reason, and it seems to me he has only improved with time. “Dreamsicle” is more proof. Good choice.
This campaign of Trump's is just so pathetic, it's really hard to believe it's happening. However I still am uncomfortable even though Biden leads in all the polls. It's still close in the swing states and my fear is that Trump will scream foul and then the Republican state run legislators will attempt to overthrow the will of the people unless it's a landslide victory. Perhaps I'm just suffering from PDST from 4 years ago but Dems cannot take their foot off the pedal. We must vote like Biden is behind. We cannot get complacent even if Trump starts ranting that aliens are in the government. I know that sounds ridiculous but would anything shock you at this point?

Good pt abt revenge it really does define his disturbed state
The political media have yet to pay a proper price for what they have done to destroy this country and respect for the rest of the media.
Not that it would happen, but if Democrats do decide to expand the Supreme Court in response to Republican capture of the judiciary, it would make GOP heads explode if among others, they installed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the Supreme Court.
Would kind of be worth, right?

agreed...but I think it worked for him bc of the sexism built into our politics/media and trump misses that as he whiffs against Biden
I suggest you should compare Hillary with Bill; rather Clinton & Biden.
The Clintons have been RW boogeymen for the best part of 40 years. The attacks on Bill were no less vicious than those on Hillary.
Of course the attacks on Biden aren’t sticking. They haven’t been endlessly repeated for 40 years & entered the “received knowledge” of RW Media.
I like the idea of Trump being intellectually lazy.
I had been aware of Isabell for quite some time, but never fully paying attention to him. But “Alabama Pines “ really got my attention for whatever reason, and it seems to me he has only improved with time. “Dreamsicle” is more proof. Good choice.
I’ve had the same trajectory w/ him, he just seems to get better and better
I just now noticed the “Isabell” in my reply to you ....thank you autocorrect !

nothing would shock me at this point
nothing
Oops, that should have read PTSD. I guess PDST is Post Donald Starting Terror or something, IDK.
it kind of also smells like just giving up, right?
