Well, if he didn't expect to win but somehow he became more popular & serious than his reality show expectations, it might make sense for him to make sure he doesn't win. But it's a bit like a reverse Turing Test - how do we tell if the unintelligent behavior is natural or artificial?

I don't buy this idea that he's self sabotaging his campaign. This is who he is. This is who he was when he was on The Apprentice. This is who he was when he gave the interviews with Stern. He may not want to be president. He may not have expected to win. But this idea that he's deliberately sabotaging his campaign by acting the way he's always acted and being who he has always been doesn't make sense to me.

I'm more curious where his next gig takes him - with Elon Musk to Mars? (backing out at last minute, of course - no towers or women there)

Driftglass on MSM:

....the Beltway media is a confederacy of con men -- a sodality of hacks -- each dependent on all the others not to bring up the fact that this is all a puppet show being run for the profit of corporate interests at the expense of our democracy. And if anyone with any real clout and access to a really substantial audience ever started to actually "look at all the things they've said" the unstoppable cataract of recriminations and mass firings that would soon follow ---- would wipe them all out.

In reply to The PBS thing appears to be

When Trump made his "outreach" to the black community yesterday, Don Lemon of CNN had a multi-segment panel discussing the "meaning" of Trump's speech. This was a total waste of time. The MSM is so dumbed down that nonsense is elevated to worthy of rational debate.

The question is repeatedly asked what can Democrats do to attract racists, bigots, homophobes, misogynists, etc to the Democratic Party. If you don't accept climate change, find common ground with David Duke, and believe that ACORN is rigging the election, no Democratic Party member is going to connect with you. The question is not what is wrong with Hillary, the question is what is wrong with a segment of the voting public.

The PBS thing appears to be another 'both sides', 'both candidates' reading of the Beltway Temple Holy Words of Both Siderism by MSM.

In reply to "Buckle Up": Trump's About to Get Nasty

Upon hearing about the Trump campaign shakeup, a former Breitbart editor noted that Bannon likes kissing Trump's behind. During a live interview on CNN, the former editor referred to Trump as a "turd tornado".

Edit to add:

In a documentary on the controversies surrounding Clinton and Trump set to air in September, Omarosa Manigault, an African-American surrogate for Trump, predicts that Trump' opponents will have to "bow down" to him after the election.

In reply to This will be the most

Pence is probably down on his knees praying for Trump to stroke out, and for him (Pence) to move up by acclamation. Then he can pick Jeb to be VP and even the base can't complain.
