... moment in the political life of every big-personality, more-sizzle-than-steak candidate when they step across the line of legitimacy, or illegitimacy (depending on your perspective), even for media addicted to the high ratings these candidate-entertainers provide. That moment for Sarah Palin was her Katie Couric interview in 2008 -- the hockey-mom-has-no-clothes revealing from which she, and the McCain campaign, never recovered. In Donald Trump's candidacy -- which The Huffington Post is appropriately covering in our Entertainment section -- the equivalent moment might have just happened.
It was not the moment in the second Republican debate when Carly Fiorina carved him up like an Easter ham with her withering "I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said" zinger. That drew blood (as did the dramatic 12 seconds she remained silent after her response), but it wasn't fatal. No, historians looking back will peg the beginning of the end of the Trump show to his New Hampshire moment last week. Taking questions at a town hall event in Rochester, Trump listened as an audience member asserted that President Obama is a Muslim, "not even an American." Trump looked the man square in the eye, and declared: "No ... He's a decent family man [and] a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign's all about. He's not [an Arab]."
Just kidding. That was actually what John McCain -- the one Trump said is "not a war hero" -- said to a woman at a campaign rally in 2008 who claimed that President Obama was an Arab. What Trump really said was, well, pretty much nothing: "We are going to be looking at a lot of different things and, you know, a lot of people are saying that."

Ping.
Sarah continues to live rent-free in their minds.
BS. Nobody gives a damn about Obama except people who would never vote GOP anyway. Pure bull.
Withering?
LOL
How many points has Don Trump gained in the polls since that plant asked him those questions?
Apparently, they do,.
YES, YES THEY DO.
They are so much wanting Trump, Cruz , Carson to fail and see their Bush or Fiorina get the nomination.
This week’s “This is the Beginning of the End for Trump” article.
Sarah was not the downfall of McLame, he was the loser in that relationship. The press had a hand in twisting the truth and projecting their opinion too.
End of Trump article of the day!
ROFL!
One a week since early July, IIRC.
These same people believe Walker is out because Richard Trumka called him a “national disgrace”.
: )
Rumors of.his.demise occur daily with a new angle every day.
Donald Trump didn’t even come close to the way the left trashed Sarah... Carly is a hag... Can’t stand the sight of her... Pull the woman card... Give me a break..
I think the heiress’s editors are hallucinating.
Crying out the end of Trump is dangerous, except when you are a liberal editor, and no one will call you out on it when it fails to materialize.
Dream, dream, dream.
Zsa Zsa is still writing garbage I see.
