Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

Trump may not have realized it; but he might have bet the farm with this candidacy.

If he doesn't win the election, and with it, presidential immunity, all this scrutiny of his business and personal dealings could result in a multitude of charges and lawsuits.

As for lawsuits, he can just add them to the pile:

An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

The sheer volume of lawsuits is unprecedented for a presidential nominee. No candidate of a major party has had anything approaching the number of Trump’s courtroom entanglements.

Just since he announced his candidacy a year ago, at least 70 new cases have been filed, about evenly divided between lawsuits filed by him and his companies and those filed against them.

Exclusive: Trump's 3,500 lawsuits unprecedented for a presidential nominee

As for the rest, I could see criminal charges, but he wouldn't ever spend a day behind bars.
 
Just in

Okay so thats Muslims, Women, the LGBT community, African Americans, the Media, Families of Fallen Soldiers, And now Veterans.

I've met a few people like this. Usually at parties, when they out themselves shortly after asking me what I do for a living.

I used to try and explain. I don't bother any more - there really is no point. Although I did ask one what he did for a living, once, and he told me he was something fairly tedious in banking, so I invalidated his career a bit, just for the look of the thing.
 
Trump seems to have totally lost it, he was tweeting ugly stuff about a former Miss America at 5 in the morning. It's weird that somebody who would have zero chance of posting on Urban75 without getting banned within a day actually stands a chance of becoming president of the US.
Why this post hasn't over a 1000 likes or more, is beyond me, granted, most would agree he is appealing to those who feel lost and abandoned, but on any measure, he is a deeply unpleasant, dangerous individual.
While many Americans feel they want to 'stick it to the man' (is this the correct US usage?) they might find in voting for Trump they end up sticking a thermonuclear device up the totally wrong orifice.
 
I reckon he's bet a sizeable chunk of his fortune against himself winning, did enough populist spouting to get the nomination and secure good odds, and now he's deliberately fucking it up. Either that or he's a bona fide idiot.

Silly Americans. Imagine voting for something in an impotent rage against 'the establishment' and then waking up to find they don't really know what they've done, why they've done it, or whether they'll personally end up completely screwed as a result.

I'm glad I don't live there.
 
Assange was supposed to release some damning anti Hillary stuff and Alex Jones stayed up late to watch it.

Lets just say he was disappointed




Its a very evocative mental image Jones has left us with.
 
VP debate is tonight. Usually doesn't impact the election much. Kaine will force Pence to defend Trump's crazy statements.

Trumps guy won every round there. Really quite impressive, only showed his true side (and hints of the underlying stannard Repuilcan dark side) when pressed on pro-life bits at the end.

Not that it will make any difference. I remember in 1988, Lloyd Bentsen was a vastly more impressive candidate than Dan Quayle. We remember Quayle - who, anywhere, remembers Bentsen?

"The vice-presidency ain't worth a bucket of warm spit", as LBJ said - though I don't know if it was before or after he had Kennedy assasinated.

As alot of smarter commentators than me have said, Pence made himself look good, Kaine made his campaign look good. Pence distanced himself from Trump on alot of positions, but Kaine did the most lasting damage to the Trump/Pence campaign. Less than 6 hours after the debate the Clinton campaign was running this ad.

WATCH: New Hillary Clinton ad demolishes every Mike Pence lie from vice presidential debate

By any metric having Pence deny Trump said a variety of stupid things, and then playing the video of Trump saying that is a tremendously effective spot. I'm convinced thats what the Kaine Clinton campaign set out to do. Like they say no one remembers the Vice Presidental debates, but people will remember Pence denying all the dumb things Trump has said.



Also alot of reports are coming out that Trump is utterly livid at being "upstaged" by Pence. I dont know if its true but we know Trump is a petty small minded asshole who holds a grudge (oh I'm sorry I meant to say he's got a winning temperament) If this is remotely true it's going to completely fuck with Trump's head in the run up to second debate.

Reports suggest Donald Trump is unhappy with Mike Pence for winning the VP debate

Yup, again, a very measured and powerful follow up from the Clinton campaign. I thought it was quite clever for Pence to hide behind the "Well he didn't really mean it/it was taken out of context/it was heat of the battle stuff/he's not a polished calculated public speaker" deflection - a lot of people have committed mentally in the face of reason to declare support to Trump so this gives them an easy mental framing that they're not the Racist/etc types they'd hate to identify with.
