Word from inside the Trump campaign was that Manafort warned Trump to cool it and the campaign would handle it. If Trump had kept his mouth shut and Manafort commiserated with the Khans, praised their son, etc. The issue would have been dead in 48 hours. This is typical Trump. He can never resist defending his honor, regardless of the costs.The mind of Donald Trump is a mystery. The new guy has about 11 weeks to turn the campaign around. This will be Trump's third strike.
The problem is not Trump's campaign managers. It's good old Donald, who thinks he knows everything. Trump takes advice from no one unless they agree with him and no campaign manager is going to agree with Trump.
Unless it was Manafort that adviced Trump to go after the Khan family, or insist that Obama founded ISIS it doesn't matter who Trump brings on.
As the best advice in the world is utterly meaningless if your candidate won't listen to it. And Trump only takes counsel from Trump.
Alas, the source that Trump uses to base his decisions on is a political incompetent.
Irrelevant
Trump will protect our most basic right , ie, the right to bear arms
Killary
will disarm us
will start WWIII in order to defend Israel.
PRIORITIZE
.
Trumps stunning fascist proposals aren't irrelevant. Insisting that he'll put his political opponent in prison if he wins isn't irrelevant.
Insisting that he'll order the US military to murder non-combatant women and children in revenge killings isn't irrelevant.
Calling for 'purity tests' isn't irrelevant.
Calling for the return of torture 'and worse' isn't irrelevant.
Proposing sending US citizens to military tribunals in wild violation of US law isn't irrelevant.
Yet in glassy eyed, slack jawed obsequiousness, you simply nod and grin and swallow whatever hapless horseshit the man pumps down your eager gullet.
Like his insane claim that if he doesn't win a state that he's trailing in by 13 points and no republican has won since 1988 that it must have been cheating.
HUH?
WTF?
Stop bullshiting
Prioritize.
It is true that the US is a formidable police state. It is also true that the presidents use drones to kill Americans.
But is not true that presidential candidates opponents are jailed, well not yet.
Trump is openly advocating having his opponent imprisoned if he's elected with chants of 'Lock Her Up'.
That's unprecedented in modern politics.
The US murdered thousands of women and children in Iraq. The US has murdered thousands of Syrians and has destroyed that country. How many women and children will die when Killary starts WWIII?
Trump has openly advocated targeted revenge murders of the 'entire families' of terrorists. Which would of course include non-combatant men, women and children.
That's a blatant war crime in addition to being ludicriously fascist.
Does he have the power to overrule Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 548 US 557 (2006) or the 5th Am due process clause ? No? So why are you worried about military tribunals? Your "concern" surprises me because you are the mother of all fascists, always seeking government supremacy and the abolition of the Constitution (1787).
So you acknowledge Trumps wildly fascist demands....but insist that the Judiciary will save us from him.
I've got a better idea. Lets save ourselves from him....and not elect his fascist ass.
The most basic of all rights is that of bearing arms for a lawful purpose. Trump has pledged to respect that right and to nominate Justices who will support that right.
You realize that Trump has openly and repeatedly called for bans on assault rifles almost indistinguishable from Hillary's own position, yes?
You're being played.
