Jump to postMr. and Mrs. Khan's presence and speech at the DNC was a great moment to talk about American exceptionalism and also a wonderful bait for Trump.

Jump to postSame thing with the hack of the DNC. Could have been plenty of ammunition against HRC and the DNC; people really doubted the DNC's Russian claims.

I watched the Khan speech at the DNC, and when it was over I turned to my spouse and said: "That's going to leave a mark". Had Trump handled it correctly it would have been a 24 hour story. Instead, he attacked a dead soldier's family??? Not only did Trump blow this into now a 4 day story,...
Jump to postTrump is trying to be Putin's fluffer so that either outcome he will gain financially. If he loses, he will use all that goodwill to finally get a tower built in Moscow. If he wins, he'll have his kids running Trump Inc. over in Moscow trying to finalize a deal before he's even sworn in.

Jump to postOne more thing, though Trump is an INCREDIBLY inept politician (well, he's not really even a politician, is he?), equating him with the global monster Adolph Hitler is just off the wall.
