He's tweeting the crazy at 4am. Is the process different if he keels over?
(I'm guessing he's on something a bit stronger than caffeine).
He's said several times in the past that he only needs 1/2 - 4 hours of sleep.
Sleep deprivation can mimic a whole host of psychiatric disorders:

Maybe this explains a lot. I mean, what do I know!

Somehow I think Melania's racy nudes from when she was 20 years old aren't going to be much a factor in this sh&% show.
Wasn't it Melania's work history provided with the pics in the New York Post that led to suspicions that Melania may have violated U.S. immigration laws? This is the first time I've ever seen a potential First Lady's T & A. 
And just like with Melania's personal website that provided suspicious info regarding her college "degrees," Team Trump keeps shooting itself in the foot. It's dizzying.

don't underestimate the hate for Hillary.
Don't overestimate it either. For example

My 85 yr old mom lives in Pt. St. Lucie and recently lost her only Democratic friend. While having dinner last week with another friend, a staunch Republican, her friend announced that she is no longer entertaining voting for Trump and will vote for Hillary. She said he is just too crazy.
I don't understand. There is no danger if we overestimate it. There is grave danger if we underestimate it.

Now if they can only get rid of Brownback.

Donors Losing Patience with Trump
“I would break his f---ing thumbs if I could … because he can’t stop f---ing tweeting,” said the Trump fundraiser.
Another interesting quote from that article:
“There’s a lot of people who are very concerned and feel he [Trump] has no discipline and that he’s not controllable.”
It's not that Trump is "unpredictable", but that he is "uncontrollable".
In other words, he can't be controlled by party talking points. He can't be controlled by donor money. It's an insight into how politicians are currently kept in line by the donor-to-party purse strings. Not that we didn't know that already... it's just that I don't think I've heard it stated so blatantly before.
I don't want Trump to drop out. He is the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party and the worst thing for Republicans.
I've never seen such a thin skinned, immature, reactionary, hotheaded con-man in my life. The guy is pathetic and an embarrassment to the country and the world. And he's the Republican nominee for POTUS!

Actually, not an desirable attribute of a potential President.

It's called karma. The Republicans created this MONSTER. They made their bed, now sleep on it!
Republicans were so bent on trying to bring down the president. Now Obama is enjoying his highest approval ratings (54%) in his second term. Obama's approval rating is similar to that of Reagan's ratings and is close to Bill Clinton's 57 percent in their second terms.
Everyday it's a reality show playing out like some bizarre circus with Trump. Crazy how the so-called Republican leadership cannot control this political freak that they are now stuck with. LOL!
It's popcorn time watching Trumpkenstein and his puppets!
Trump announced his Economic Advisory Council this morning. He is talking to the Detroit Economic Club on Monday where he is going to release the details of his economic plan. He is pitching his plan as pro-growth vs. Clinton's no-growth plan. All of the members of the Economic Advisory Council are either in real estate, oil and gas, banking or hedge funds.

Imagine if at your first day working with your new boss you announced to the staff, "I'm working to make sure we bring him/her down and destroy the company." That is what McConnell and Boehner did. The idea of working for a man of color, so high above them in rank, class and wit angered them so much that they made moves to destroy a President not caring if they also destroyed the country. They had a point to make and they chose to put bitchassness first and country second.

I hear what you're saying about McConnell's pledge of obstructionism. But it's important for people to remember that the POTUS is not the "boss" of Congress.

David Malpass, one of the economists on the advisory board, is on CNBC now talking about Trumponomics.
The mantra - Trump is the economic growth candidate.
How can he be the economic growth candidate when he cheats his workers, rips-off students and bankrupts companies he's owned. LOL!

+1. Obama may not be the President over congress however, since day one they have given him no respect and their agenda for him; to fail. Guess who's looking like the asshats now?
KARMA is a beotch!

But he is the economic growth candidate. Economic growth for himself personally.

Ha! " Bitchassness". Perfect. Probably the best all around description of double talking, fork tongued, prevaricating, pie-backed suckers I've heard in a while. Thanks for that.
If you look at his business background, he is not a good businessman. He's a con-man.
This is hysterical! From Stephen Colbert Show last night.

I wonder if there will be a response. Trump positively hates being the butt of a joke.

He has started to stick to the script. He has tried that once before so we will have to see how long it lasts.
This new ad is brutally effective. At least I hope it's effective. It's certainly brutal.
