    Hilary Clinton shouldn’t have to campaign at all. She should be able to sit in her house drinking wine and watching Netflix and win by 50 points.

      And yet half the country wants him to be president.

    Again, Donald Trump is grotesque, but this sort of coverage simply reinforces the need to vote against Hillary Clinton for millions of people.

    You have two candidates who are grossly unqualified to tackle critical issues like income disparity, unbalanced free-trade policy, increasing special interest influence on our government, political transparency, haphazard foreign interventionism, political accountability, etc.

    But only one candidate (Trump) is recognized almost unanimously as such by the media and the politicians whose cooperation each candidate will need to do anything.

    If you have two terrible candidates, but only one who promises meaningful skepticism and scrutiny of his actions by groups that are positioned to stop said actions, that is the lesser of two evils.

      Hillary Clinton is anything but grossly unqualified. How soon you forget her forty plus years in politics.

      How the heck is this extremely obvious troll account ungreyed? I didn’t do it and it was already ungreyed with zero stars when I got here.

      I mean, there’s a Joshua Salaam who is a musician and not a Tomato-linked person (that I can tell), so I can’t say 100% that this dude is TomatoFace, but it’s his style exactly and he’s ungreyed already. What the heck Gawker folks?

      /of course, if I’m wrong and this is Poe’s Law in action, then... damn dude. Just. Damn. No substantive response forthcoming.

    I feel like Donald Trump is really starting to come unglued. There’s no way he’s going to be able to handle having to address his various contradictions in the next three months. You can already see his patience starting to wear thin.

      Is it that he’s coming unglued? Or has he always been unglued and the media has just started paying attention?

    TRUMP: It’s— look, you know, I have my own ideas. He’s not going into Ukraine, okay, just so you understand. He’s not gonna go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want-

    STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, he’s already there, isn’t he?

    TRUMP: Okay— well, he’s there in a certain way...

    And 40% of voters are currently willing to back him.

    My dog’s habit of barking at the fence to let the neighbour’s dog know to stay away is a better foreign policy than the one of this walking skin disease.

      Wait, is his surrogate implying that the Khan’s are somehow linked to “radical Islamic terrorism?” What the hell is that amateur saying? Glad Brian called him on it. These people have no bottom.

      Yes. I love how he keeps getting called out on it and really didn’t expect that.

      My personal favorite is that last video with the lady asking why are they picking on her. It was priceless.

    I was watching it. It was truly insane. It really does read like the unintelligible ravings of a madman. Here’s the gist of every interview Donald Trump has had in the last year:

    Trump: WE’RE NOT GONNA DO THIS, OK? It’s not gonna happen. Not with me. You can put that on the record. Never gonna happen.

    Reporter: But it’s already happened. You’ve already done it. We have you on the record as saying you will do it.

    Trump: Well...that’s because Obama is in office. His leadership is responsible for every bad thing to ever have happened.

    Reporter: But Obama has no jurisdiction in this matter.

    Trump: Well, it was him, OK. And that crooked Hillary. And when I get in office, you’d better believe. We will win. Believe me. We will make it great again.

    Reporter: Moving on...

    END SCENE

    It’s so insulting and yet hilarious at the same time. The 40% of Republicans that want him in office don’t even care that he doesn’t respect them enough to show them actually knows what he is talking about or gives a shit about the Presidency. It’s so insane. I kinda just wanna go offline until November.

      George doesn’t give a shit because it’s all a ratings boon for his should. Should this human waste be elected, none of the policies he’d put in place would affect George, so no reason for him to care.

    Watching it, I cannot believe his handlers or anyone else allowed this to air.

    Trump has said a lot over the course of his run so far. This one interview was like putting them all together in one media package.

    I would have loved to have been in the same room as Reince Priebus watching this interview. Never mind anything else Trump has done, all anyone really needs to do is run clips from this interview from now until election day. Reince must have bene watching, knowing that now more then ever the GOP was well and truly done.

    I give credit to George for being able to keep his composure. There were a few times where it looked like he was ready to lose it on Trump.

    Trump (all people running for president) really needs a psychological evaluation, and it to be realized to the public. Large corporates do it for people applying for CEO and other high level positions, why should the highest office not be the same?

    Are there any psychologists reading this that could provide their own assessment on the man based off of what you have seen?
