a former Trump staffer has now accused Mr Pocket Constitution (Khizr Khan) of being in the Muslim Brotherhood. That wasn't a fake tweet right?

If he was I'd give effectively zero shits. Most MB franchises, especially the ones in the US, are not exactly the boogeyman they're touted as, except insofar as they're not real big fans of Arab dictators.

The problem is, while most people are going to see this as attempted smeer from a highly, highly questionable source, Trump's base is going to eat this up. They don't care. He's brown, he's Muslim, and he /may/ be tied to some Muslim org. That's enough for them.

I would ask "hahahaha gently caress why would you ever put anything remotely racist/political on a Facebook account you use with coworkers" but I remembered that we have a manager going in for sensitivity/human relationship training (aka "how not to piss off employees by making GBS threads on them and acting like a condescending gently caress all the time") and I've been denied a vacation because I'll be subbing in for her, so yeah this makes perfect sense.

So the end game here is the media turning against Donald, right? If he pisses off/scorched-earths enough actual news departments instead of fawning leeches, they start covering him like the joke he is and get their ratings from laying into him? And this will enrage downticket repubs enough to take care of the problem?

The optimal media strategy would be to bash Trump for a while, then set up a comeback narrative in September. The only thing that truly hurts their ratings is a stagnant race.

Today I learned Gary Johnson is pro-TPP.

Do his new "hey, look everyone, I discovered a third party candidate!" supporters know about this?

My guess is no.
