Inside Donald Trump’s Meltdown

Time Magazine ^ | 8/11/16 | Alex Altman

[NotchJohnson]

When Donald Trump mucks things up, the first person to let him know is usually Republican Party boss Reince Priebus. Almost every day, Trump picks up his cell phone to find Priebus on the line, urging him to quash some feud or clarify an incendiary remark.

The Wisconsin lawyer has been a dutiful sherpa to the Manhattan developer, guiding him through the dizzying altitude of the presidential race and lobbying the GOP to unite behind a figure who threatens its future.

Wasn’t TIME magazine kept in outhouses at the cottages you visited in the summer? That is probably still it’s most appropriate use.

TIME of Time Warner who also owns CNN

Time Magazine must be in the fiction business now.

Slime Magazine has been in the fiction business for as long as I have known of its existence. Newspeak Magazine is no better, and never was.

[funfan]

Me either. At least he doesn’t need someone to hold him up when he walks or stands.

[Cobra64]

Not Newspeak, Newsweak.

[Mr. Douglas]

This kind of crap is what moved me to the Trump ticket.

[NorthMountain]

You use your term, I’ll use mine. And if the writers for Newspeak Magazine actually wrote in Newspeak, it would be the first honest thing they did. Ever.

[Mr. Douglas]

Seems to be the Ministry of Propaganda that is melting down.....

I’ve argued with liberals on “no holds barred” sites for over a decade. When confronted with someone that actually knows what he’s talking about, they fall back on the same two weapons every time:

1. Ad hominem attack
2. Projection.

This article is both.

Innacurate infographic. For example, GE no longer owns any part of NBC or Universal.

Donald Trump’s meltdown?

He’s the Republican Party nominee. Running against Hillary.

Do they think?

None of these people, not even Rush, can accept this fact

Hillary is imploding. Her campaign is going to implode. The Republican Party is imploding. The republican Senate and the republican House are imploding. illegal immigration is going to implode.. Obama care is imploding. TPP, Cruz’s pet antiamerican, anticonstitutional project - about to implode. The Clinton ponzu scheme, about to implode. The media about to implode from spinning all of this into a personal victory over the American people

Trump is the only one not imploding

“Republican Party boss Reince Priebus”

BUT, he’s not Donald Trump’s boss. Trump is Trump’s boss.

The cover of Time dated August 22 has a caricature of Trump melting. I see Hillary supporters melting all over the place. They can't contain themselves and throw out any impartiality. If he wins (clean election) the left is going to be committed. I just can't wait.

I think members of the left wing media need to be thrown in prison for attempting to manipulate elections by the misuse of their positions of power in the information distribution system.

The public is unaware of the fact that these people are partisan liars who cover up information they need to make appropriate decisions.

Liberal media people belong in prison.

[DiogenesLamp]

I cannot wait either. Most of my former democratic party, way too many Rinos and the majority of the deranged MSM definitely need to be committed pronto to the nearest insane asylum!!!

Prison. They need to go to prison.

The last time I looked through TIME magazine, JFK had been shot

I think we forget in August 1988, Michael Dukakis had a big lead over George H.W. Bush. It was gone in less than 50 days and then some.

The Left privately knows Hillary has enough political baggage to figuratively fill the cargo hold of a 777-300ER jet airliner (a plane with more below deck cargo space than a 747-400 jet airliner). They're trying to prop her up, but the email server issue, the questions about the Clinton Foundation, and now questions about her very own health could start to really drag on her campaign by early September.

And then you had Jon Lovitz on SNL playing Dukakis going, "How am I losing to this guy?"

[DiogenesLamp]

Thank you. The media system is a one party MONOPOLY and we need to go after it with Anti-Trust law and prosecutions.

I've been saying this for years. We should be trying to destroy the existing media monopoly. If the Democrats controlled congress, and the media was Republican, they would be alleging discrimination, filing lawsuits, demanding RICO prosecutions, and buying stock in media companies to push the board of directors into making changes.

We just sit around and whine about how our candidates said something that the media can misuse.

[DiogenesLamp]

The Confederacy was the single greatest conservative resistance to federal authority ever

I have come around to that way of thinking in the last few years, and most especially in the last six months.

The more I have examined what happened, the more I have become convinced that the wrong side won that war.
