For Trump, this campaign is just a pilot for his next reality show. "Who Wants To Be President of The United States?"

" Attention has always been the foundation of Mr. Trump’s modus operandi. Basically, he sells his name: Trump steaks, Trump water, Trump University. You have to hand it to him, though. He discovered that, in a celebrity society like ours, where so many people are competing for attention, running for president puts you a leg up even on the Kardashians."

Still standing by my early prediction: Hillary prevails - in a tight finish. Donald is not able to squeak by. And a landslide win for either candidate is out of the question. Remember anything can and will happen between now and election day. But despite more plot twists and turns - Hillary is finally victorious.

And Trump slinks away to star in another "reality" incarnation. Maybe on the Ailes news network.

Manafort just resigned. Not the least bit surprised by this.

This campaign by Trump is a joke...

Yet, he managed to beat 16 other candidates in the primaries and remains within striking distance of Hillary, who herself is stuck in the low 40s.

I thought you forgot your password. Trump won 35% of the vote when there were others competing, hardly a landslide.

Is that 2 consecutive days, or just a total of two?

[TC Talks]

Consecutive days. Every time he blows it, the count will be reset.

He's in full blown puppet mode. Wonder how all his outlier fans are handling his being brought under wing.

Yes. Kellyanne is pussy whipping him into submission. What a joke.

And she's the same dizzy dame who who once defended the absurd idea that during a "legitimate" rape - a woman's body shuts down so that pregnancy cannot happen. Sheeesh!

So after that defensive political play she'll feel right at home defending the outrageous words and deeds that have emanated from the brain and mouth of Donald Trump.

The Morning Joe/Mika thing was two days ago. Does attacking media members not count as going off message?

The new books about Trump and his response has taken him off the rails. Unlike the spat with Joe, when he continued to sound not crazy, this consumed the media all cycle.

It's part of his message...

Is he on message now? I can no longer tell, but it seems that they are both off the road and in the gutter.

To be a fly on the wall...

"DETROIT — Donald J. Trump’s visit to a black church here on Saturday will be a major moment for a candidate with a history of offending the sensibilities of black Americans."
