Trump getting ‘nuttier and nuttier,’ campaign insiders say

Posted on 08/03/2016 6:51:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Donald Trump is getting “nuttier and nuttier,” according to those within the tycoon’s presidential campaign, who say they are increasingly frustrated by his outrageous comments and behavior.

The Republican candidate has been engaged in a prolonged war of words with Khizr and Ghazala Khan — whose son, a US Army officer, was killed in Iraq in 2004 — which many inside the presidential campaign see as, at the very least, a total distraction.

“I did not think he’d be great in a general election, and thought there’d be episodes of paranoia/irrationality, but this is surprising for me,” one Trump operative told The Post.

“Trump is getting nuttier and nuttier,” the person added.

Got to remember that, right now, being early August, unless you are a political junkie,people right now are either are on vacation, getting to go on vacation, or have or are coming back from vacation, and are not too keen right now on politics. BUT and I say this BIG TIME, come LABOR DAY when it is the traditional time to get into high gear the Presidential general election mode, Mr. Trump has to QUIT getting into personal fights. In other words, “pick and chose” your fights.

Opposition is trying this new narrative.

Recall when Wallace asked of Bachmann: ‘Are you flakey?’

==

Trumps political enemies [Media/Dems/GOPestablishment] still have not found much to stick to Trump. That does not mean they will stop trying.

GOPestablishment are in a dither because Trump responded to endorsing Ryan’s reelection with almost idential words Ryan used in his non-endorsement of Trump a few weeks ago.

Tit-for-tat with McCain and Ayotte. Since all 3 are in tight reelection races, they ‘expect’ the nominee to endorse them. Ironically, they are still dissing the nominee at every chance they get.

They come up with this crap based on his behavior.

You are utterly wrong on this. That is the whole point of propaganda: it is not based upon the truth. The democrats cannot argue principle or policy, so they attack Trump's personality or his hair or his hands. Or they take two words of some long statement out of context and make it into a media meme.

Still support is very high from the rallies having taking place or will take place. Folks of all backrounds want to take care of themselves and their families. Rather we are winning this.

Either this article is B.S. or Trump is seriously trying to lose. And I can not imagine Trumps ego allowing him to lose publically!

Exactly.

THey’ve realized Hillary is hated - rightly so - and is terrible.

They have no way to ‘sell’ her to American voters.

So plan B is drive up Trump’s negatives. Keep people home. Then use street money and Clinton cash to get the Dems to turnout in big cities and vote how they are told.

“Do they really expect we will believe this BS?”

Even if only 10% of Repubs or independents believe it that is a huge number. Every negative story reinforces their Trump is unfit/crazy/dangerous narrative. That sways the undecided to maintain the status quo. Trump doesnt seem to be doing much to counter this. I expected Trump to keep hitlery on the defensive but havent seen much except Repub infighting.

Oh, LOL! A Bush Bot! What a laugh.

In fact, after going off Cruz early last year, I jumped on the Trump bandwagon. I’ve been a loyal supporter every since. Particularly in August 2015 when his employees at the Trump Tower Grill told me he was the only one to vote for because he was a great employer.

Next, the distraction is caused by the mainstream media and terrorist-pantywaists like you. Trump made one tweet and one statement on tv. A week ago! But its all the media is talking about to drive down his poll numbers. Wake up.

The American media is launching an all out propoganda campaign against Trump that would make Goebbels and Pravda proud. They are completely aiding and abetting a woman, when it’s all said and done, is the greatest traitor in American history. It is simply amazing and truly sad what we allowed our country to become.

Good list. Add to it the McCain spat and the Ryan spat, Trump can't stay on message.

The borg - without the honesty.

It will be interesting to see if he can. I know he has discipline and can stay on point to be as successful as he has been.

I think we should all start posting baseless “rumors” on Twitter, on FB, everywhere we can. Let’s start coordinating like the “media” does!!!

I have my doubts they even exist, or they exist the same way Whinnie the Poo, Alice in Wonderland, and Harry Potter exist.

The Khan story died when he and the Mrs. were outed as Sharia loving Muslim propagandists.

Trump hasn’t carried the story the MSM has.

Besides, today’s MSM meme is that Trump is crazy. Typical Alinsky tactic of attempting to castigate and isolate.
