Saying that you could stand out in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody dead I did not affect your campaign should equally have been political suicide.
Political suicide is dead.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I caught the tail end of the story on NPR about how he apologized for one of the jokes and I just assumed it was one of the Nazi Rally jokes and was like "wow the nazi thing is finally getting some traction" but no it was the Puerto Rico thing.
I cannot express how ready I am for this shit to go away.
It's a week before the election. Mark my words, he WILL shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any voters.

Trump literally can not be too racist for his followers. How has a headline editor for a daily newsletter not realized this?
On the contrary, this is actually the strategy to win the swing voters. Some of them just need to be haters and they win bigly.
On Sunday at MSG, Donald Trump engineered what will be seen by political analysts and later by historians as the coup de grâce that killed forever his prospects of being president and may well have set him on a post-election course on which he finally may be held accountable for his actions.
That is wishful thinking.
Yeah, I want this to be the end of Trump and his cult. But I don't think that it will be.
Like Emperor Palpatine, I don't think he'll actually die or stay dead..
Unfortunately, I wish it was
However, right wing networks will skip the worst parts. Many of themwon't even know about the open racism, and they'll reframe the rest as humor, and claim Trump is hilarious.
It's even worse than the Nazis because I bet nobody claimed Hitler was a comedian at the time
It's scary to think how much more openly fucked his statements are going to be in the next few days and as an Aussie, I'm generally scared for you guys
Even if he loses you'll be in danger most likely, and it will take years to recover from Trump
If he wins, it is genuinely possible there won't be a few more years left for anyone (he has no problem taking down everyone with him)
He is losing NY anyways.
He's losing Colorado too. These rallies aren't for the locals, it's red meat for the base in the media clip era.
The rally wasn't for NY.
