New: RNC considers cutting cash to Trump
GOP officials lay the groundwork to blame their nominee if Clinton wins. Read More
Trump's character traits are not the kind that can be changed overnight if they can be changed at all. Trump must also be motivated to change them. He gives no indication that he is. He is one of those individuals who believes that he is always right. That type of individual is particularly resistant to change. In his mind he sees no need to change. His views may flipflop wildly but that does not mean that he has the capacity for change. His flipflopping is one of his character traits and is as deeply ingrained as his other character traits.New: Trump Is Wrong, NAFTA Was Not Bill Clinton’s Creation

New: GOP, make Donald Trump take a 'time-out'
Donald Trump really needs a time-out. I'm talking the type where Trump has to sit in silence in the corner for an extended period of time to put the brakes on his horrific behavior. He should do this for all of our sakes, as his words are becoming more erratic and alarming by the day. Read More
If a media blackout was imposed upon Trump, he would become more provocative. He would esculate his behavior. Time-out works only with children who have mild behavior problems. Those with more serious behavior problems need a different kind of intervention.New: US election: Changes in four states that could boost Clinton

What I learned about Donald Trump on vacation
Trump is ubiquitous — in every sense of the word. He is there even when you aren't thinking about him or looking for news about him or politics more generally. What he has done in this campaign is weave himself into the cultural fabric in a way that makes him virtually inescapable.
He is Pokémon Go, the Kardashians or Swiddles.
This is great news for Trump, the brand. Trump is, after all, an unabashed believer in the idea that all press is good press. If you believe that the entirety of Trump's life has been a project in growing his #brand, then this presidential race is his crowning achievement. If he was big before this race, he is huge — excuse me, YUGE — now. There is nowhere — on the globe — where his name is now not known.
Being famous for being famous is a far less successful recipe for being elected president. Trump's ubiquity has come at a mighty cost; his willingness to say anything and everything to get headlines has perhaps fatally damaged his image and the ability of voters to imagine him as the next president of the United States.

Donald Trump Blames ‘Disgusting’ Media For His Tanking Poll Numbers And Gaffes
Trump said he would be beating Hillary by 20 percent if it weren’t for the media. Read More
Crowd size and enthusiasm do not show that a candidate is fit for a particular office. They only show his ability to draw and work a crowd. As for the real message, it boils down to Trump. He has flipflopped on so many issues as this video shows that it is difficult to say where he really stands.Independent Candidate Evan McMullin Says He’s Not Responsible If Trump Loses
While he has portrayed Clinton as untrustworthy, he himself has made so many false claims and stretched the truth to such an extent that he himself can hardly be viewed as worthy of people's trust. He boasts about his deliberate unpredictability, how he likes to keep people off-balance and how he relishes their confusion. Rather than taking responsibility as a great leader would, he blames others. This has consistently been his pattern even before the primary elections.
Whether or not Trump likes it, he himself through his own words and behavior has turned the election into a referendum on his fitness to serve as President of the United States.
Trump supporters are faced with a choice. They can recognize that in supporting Trump's candidacy, they have made a bad choice and cast their vote for someone else. Or they can refuse to admit to themselves that the choice they made was a bad one, buy into Trump's denial of responsibility, and join him in blaming others.
New independent candidate for president Evan McMullin said his entrance into the race won't affect Donald Trump's chances because "it's so likely that Donald Trump will lose" anyway. Read More
