2016 Race Hits Rock Bottom With Trump vs. Ginsburg Spat
The state of our politics -- and especially discourse in this 2016 presidential race -- has hit rock bottom when a Supreme Court justice is trading insults with the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee. It all started when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the New York Times, "I can't imagine what the country would be with Donald Trump as our president." She then doubled down in a later interview: "He is a faker… He says whatever comes into his head at the moment… How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns?"
They were stunning comments by a sitting Supreme Court justice. Sure, the justices are political animals (just look at their rulings and frequent split decisions), but those black robes are supposed to make them different than a member of Congress or a presidential candidate. But Donald Trump then went one step further, tweeting after midnight last night that Ginsburg's "mind is shot" and calling for her to resign.

NBC doesn’t like it because Hillary is getting shellacked.
Rock bottom? It’s only July. It hasn’t started.
Clearly Trump’s fault.
Bottom, hell. This is tops! Pray the godless communist witch moves to a Cuba.
No, it’s not shocking. Trump has this uncanny way of exposing vampires.
Gee, doesn’t feel like rock bottom. I am sure the October surprise by these commie driven media outlets agaisnt Trump will be rock bottom.
Trump has this uncanny way of exposing vampires.
Dontcha love how Trump just exposes one after another of these godless commies? It’s like those vampire movies where the hero pulls back the curtain, the sunlight comes in, and they all go “hhhiiiiiisssssss.” And die.
Curtain pulls back . . . .
“Hiiiisssssssss . . . . “ and they burn up.

Correct. The article makes it clear that they will release polls later today designed strictly to counter the polls showing Trump up in battleground states. They used the word “outliers” as a tease to the faithful, saying “Help is on the way this afternoon!”
We can win this election, but we must donate, and we must volunteer for the campaign.
To do either or both, please go to the Trump website. Thanks to all who will do so.
What till he pours a bucket of water on broom hilda in a debate.
No getting out of the way of the tactical nukes Trump is dropping.
I think the “it doesn’t look like a Jewish star but let’s pretend it does” was the low point so far.
Well, that loses Trump the “crazy opinionated old bat” vote but I think Hillary had already wrapped up that segment of the populace, unless they forgot about it.
The Lying Leftist MSM feigns righteous anger when the Right stands up to the Left, their hypocrisy, and their tyranny.
But when Leftist tyranny oppresses America and the Right, - nothing from the Lying Leftist MSM.
Mrs. Smallweed is punching above her weight. She needs to save her complaints for the assisted living staff.
Chuck Todd, regrettably, regularly takes his turn in the driver’s seat and has put his own colleagues in the ditch.
Naturally, he blames everyone else.
