Would be better if fiction, but it's not. Too damn many fools (being kind) running around.

AM looking forward to watching more implosions.

On the one hand...relieved to see Trump to continue to make an ass out of himself. On the other hand, scared as hell that he still has so many supporters and I'm waiting to see a poll adjustment for his continued atrocious behavior. On the third hand, not really trusting that the media will do their job and will continue to chase ratings and the Trump Circus show.

I am delighted to see him implode, but want to see much more rebuking of this asinine behavior.

was watching so many of the members of the CBC speaking out with such force against Trump's BS yesterday. I can also feel a bit of movement in the media now... they're beginning to realize what a monster they've created. The monster that might put them in jail if he doesn't like their coverage of him if he's president.

relief that Trump's real self reappeared, even if only a day or two.

And yet, there are still so many days left for the Hillary haters to work their evil. It is a whole industry that never sleeps. Even now, there are groups all over plotting round the clock. Sound paranoid? It's the truth.
I hope to witness a once in a lifetime event (or the first since 1492 when our land was discovered) but who knows what can happen between now and Nov 8.

An aside - I wonder if it is going to be a good thing that Slate is going to give updates all day long of exit interviews and calculate actual voting from that. There is the down ticket to worry about.

see Trump being schooled, corrected, and chastised by some of the media.

Last week was like being suffocated.

I believe we will see slow impovement in the numbers for the next week and then after the debates Hillary will take off like a rocket.
