You think this is bad? The day he loses will be a sight to behold. Nothing is ever his fault, and his final humiliation will be no different. But in the meantime the whole GOP has to lose for his own ego.
And that's one reason why I don't post much right now. This election cycle is hot garbage, from both candidates, everysingleday.

People who have already been shitting on him, and he's also right.
It comes with the territory of being a candidate for the Republican party.
It should surprise nobody that the Republicans are trying to maintain a healthy distance from Trump--enough so that they can disavow him if he loses, but still be able to ride on his coattails if he wins.
Like she's trying to pin his words on the fact that he was a Democrat at the time. Sure, we may be proposing him as our candidate but you have to remember that back when he said that he actually supported your party so really it says less about who he is as a person and more about your party....

Distance is totally reasonable for the people who think he's a political hot potato, what's a betrayal is people already using their own image to fight him. Outside of people like Bush and Romney who are inactive.
The frequency of floods of the magnitude of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated parts of New York City in 2012, is rising so sharply that they could become relatively normal, with a raft of new research laying bare the enormous upheavals already under way in the US due to climate change.
These findings and two other fresh pieces of research have highlighted how the US is already in the grip of significant environmental changes driven by warming temperatures, albeit in different ways to the processes that are fueling hurricanes.
An analysis of past storms and models of future events as the planet warms has shown that Sandy-like floods have become three times more common in the New York area since 1800. This frequency is set to climb further, from once every 400 years to once every 90 years by 2100, due to the effects of sea level rise alone.
Worse still, when the impact of future storm conditions, supercharged by the warming oceans and increased atmospheric moisture, is considered, New York could be swamped by Sandy-level flooding as frequently as once every 23 years by the end of the century, according to research led by Princeton University.
The frequency of flood events such as Sandy, which caused a storm surge nearly 3m above high tide resulting in 159 deaths and $68bn in damage in the US north-east, has “increased significantly over the past two centuries and is very likely to increase more sharply over the 21st century, due to the compound effects of sea level rise and storm climatology change”, the Princeton study states.
Michael Mann, a climatologist at Penn State University, said that the studies deal with very different processes but are “examples of climate change impacts that are already threatening us here in the US and around the world, the devastating and unprecedented wildfires in Alberta last spring and the coastal flooding and massive loss of life from Hurricane Matthew being just the latest reminders, and which will only worsen if we do not act on climate”.
There is a range of uncertainty around exactly how frequently major flooding events will occur, based on different rates of sea level rise and hurricane occurrence. But the research shows a multiplying of Sandy-like events under all scenarios.
Are there any Trumps fans left? If so, do any of them actually think he still has a shot at winning? Has anyone tried to claim that sexual assault is something they've also done in locker rooms, therefore it's okay?

So many questions!
The diehards are still going strong (Oblade, Nettle, Dangler) They have ignored reality sofar so why change now. Zeo is making sure this thread represents the real US dialog by playing the role of Russia But most actual Republicans seem to have realized their party elected a complete moron.
And yes one of the 3 (cant remember who) has tried to claim that its perfectly normal to talk about assaulting women in the locker room.

The world will come together, and billions will announce "You're Fired!" to Donald Trump.
On October 2nd, in Irbil, Iraq, a drone flown by ISIS injured two French paratroopers, who were supporting Kurdish forces. Two Peshmerga, or Kurdish soldiers, were killed in the blast, according to French newspaper Le Monde. The attack is possibly the first where a drone fitted with an improvised explosive device has inflicted casualties on troops from a Western nation.
