(21,849 posts)He can't get along with the leadership in his party. Can't get along with his running mate. Campaign staff has left him.
Can you imagine him handling our international relations? It would be the same thing - fights with everyone.

To deflect from charges of sexual assault, Trump assaults our democracy.

(135,425 posts)He is grateful to T-Rump for three reasons:
1. Trump pulled him off a re-election campaign that he was losing--BADLY.
2. Trump gave him national status that he can parlay into cold hard cash, either writing a book, or going for "political pundit" appearances on the newsers, etc. He also has a little juice from this misadventure that he can translate into other business opportunities. If he can clean up some of his views, and sell himself better nationally, he could go so far as to be a primary candidate in 2020.
3. Instead of looking like a nutter to those who know him, to those who do not (a much wider audience), he comes off as "the sane one." Thing is, that is ONLY by comparison but the wider US audience doesn't get down in those weeds, generally.

(45,447 posts)so they should just stay home since it's rigged? No point voting for those establishment republicans who turned against him either.
It's a strange strategy. It's like he knows he already lost and wants to make it the greatest loss ever.
It makes me consider in his bus video where he says "I moved on her like a bitch". Does that mean the donald is calling himself a bitch?
