What do you expect from someone who is so thin skinned, that he rages on twitter over it.

In November he's going to dub this as the most grandiose reality tv stint of all time.

HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING

I will be the first to admit I was in this camp before, but now that I am in the know, I can't help but enjoy it myself.

the past 24 hours has been great

A school-age child at a Donald Trump rally on Tuesday stood up and yelled "Take the bitch down" after the candidate mentioned Hillary Clinton. His mother later defended the child's right to speak and blamed his language on "Democratic schools."

The child, who looked no more than 10, was sitting next to his mother in the media section.

The mother identified herself in a brief interview with a small group of reporters as Pam Kohler of Mount Vernon, Va., but she would not name her son or say how old he is.

“He's a minor so he can't be interviewed,” Kohler said.

“I think he has a right to speak what he wants to," she said.

Asked where he learned to speak that way, she answered, "Democratic schools."

Mount Vernon is where the poors that still want to rep fairfax county live. This is no surprise to me

[Olo401]

TIL T rallies -are- democratic schools to T supporters

[Gredival]

I think the best way for Obama to get the GOP to back out of supporting Trump is to endorse him.

I think heads would explode trying to figure out what to do in the face of such a development.

[Fiye]

R/politics kind of displays the shit show at a glance like holy shit.

[kisada]

this past week has been a nightmare for trump and today is no exception

- obama calling out gop to withdraw support
- former christie aide saying she'll vote for clinton (in addition to jeb bush adviser saying yesterday she won't vote for trump and the one GOP congressman)
- trump digging some more holes for himself by declining to support paul ryan in his primary race

the last point i think is especially troublesome for him because he needs ryan's full on support to capture republican white men on the fence.

i can't imagine ryan will ever withdraw support completely for trump but he sure keeps making the window bigger.

Mount Vernon is in Fairfax, VA. This is not your typical Fairfax person. LOL

I kinda disagree about Mount Vernon being poor. There are some parts around Route 1 that are shady, but its all being gentrified, and has a bunch of richies too.

No word on the NSA deleting Clinton emails on here? Typical BG liberal echo chamber.

I'm replying to heady, but w/e

They have the deleted emails supposedly, not that they deleted them. But since everyone here has already made up their mind about the subject didn't see a point to bringing it up.

In another story, the CEO, CFO, and Communications Chief of the DNC have all resigned today, to go along with the 2 separate DNC Chairs we've already seen go by since the wikileaks dump
