Yeah, they seem pretty salty about that media bashing he did at the Trump U presser. The NYT straight up called his poo poo false assertions without filtering it through "some say" bullshit in an article yesterday.

Trump's candidacy pretty much relies on a complicit media uncritically signal boosting everything he says, it's really bad for him if they start, you know, doing their job.

If you're "hoping he'll improve his tone" and crossing your fingers that his campaign will someday approach respectability maybe you should have waited on endorsing him.

For a minute I really thought Ryan would extract some sort of concession or promise to behave out of Trump before backing him but he couldn't even manage to do that.

This brutal FP presser Clinton did (watching it now) will test the media though. If they're mad at him, then running with this hard is a great way to put him in his place

Over a year into the process and this is the first time Trump has faced someone who can stand up to him and attack him

I saw the shadows of this coming up, but I would've thought SOMEBODY would step up to the plate for Trump and I didn't expect Hillary to be this perfectly savage. Right now everybody with the red hat is waiting for Herr Trump to tell them what to do, which is a huge weakness for him.

It would. He does so poorly with so many demographics already that something like that which would significantly hurt his voting margins with white women would be a deathblow.

It's not just that, it's that women are going to decide this thing and he's actively chasing them off. I don't think he's going to call her a oval office, but I think he'll do something on the "you should smile more, maybe more people would like you then" which is just as bad, and it will be made worse by him not realizing he even did anything.

I feel like having the putative nominee of your party drop because he's a shitstain probably leaves you pretty hurt. Maybe if he stroked out as a response, but aside from that they're stuck with him.

I like listening to NPR during my commute.

Sometimes I listen to NPR and I hear something that sets the slow cogs of my mind in a new direction. Recently there have been a few stories about parents with transgender kids (kids as in under 10). These positive stories show how parents and other kids can accept a transgender child. I never considered the idea of transgender children, or that it is possible to be transgender at such a young age. Then again, it was not possible to be a transgender child during previous decades. And since gender identify doesn't correspond with sexual orientation, maybe gender identity is just a consequence of social expectations. Man, gently caress gender identies. Unisex everything. I want to wear skirts drat it. loving pants sucks in this hot and humid Texas weather.

Then I arrive at work.

More importantly, Goldwater may have been crazy, but he was at least minimally competent in a way Trump isn't. He had enough sense to distance himself from the Birchers, etc.

There is no way that this will happen. Donald Trump has a basic amount of rationality and poise that would prevent him from attacking a grandma with Secret Service protection on live television. It's like how we were all talking about Mitt Romney calling Barack Obama "boy." It would be amazing to watch, but it simply isn't. Going. To. Happen. No way.
