We may witness Trump have an actual mental breakdown tonight. This is going to be both insane and bizarre . He’s going to go full Breitbart tonight. Not sure I can even watch.

I’d say the probability of that is near 100 percent. He’s been tweeting Breitbart and Gateway Pundit and similar bathroom-wall sources. I just hope everybody’s had their shots. Oh and have fun, all. I’ll be watching from the local Demoncrap headquarters. Might take a laptop but I expect some good snark even if I have to enjoy it like revenge, as a dish best eaten cold.

The bar is set so low for Trump an ant could trip over it. It’s amazing this election is still close.

[/quote]I think the bar is set impossibly high for him. He has to behave like a responsible informed adult and a sane one capable of genuine remorse for the wrongs he’s done. Don’t think that’s within the realm of possibility. I’m more concerned that he’ll go so completely ape shit the Secret Service will have to drag him off the stage.
