that could be, but it wouldn't end his campaign.    His cult would just say it was for "the greater good"

This is disgusting on Halperin's part. If he doesn't believe it's true, he shouldn't be teasing it and if he does then out with it man. What a little click baiting twerp.

This. The absolute worst thing that could happen would be for people to jump on something that later turned out to be a deliberately dangled false story.

THIS is true.

I wonder if there is actual tape of Trump talking about wanting to be like Hitler?

It seems too good to be true that Halperin has a story that could end his campaign. We can't be that lucky, can we?

I'd steer clear of anything on Newsweek.  It's not what it used to be.

Remember when JD Vance said one valid reason to oppose certification on Jan 6 was things being out in the press that were inaccurate?  This is an inside job.  Create a fake scandal then when it gets out and debunked, that provides the fuel to question all the votes already cast and create doubt, blah blah blah.

This is a plant.

No, because nothing will end his campaign.  That's the thing.   And if he loses and has any coherency left in 4 years, he'll be their nominee again if he wants to be -- and he'll want to be.

That's what it would take for people to figure that out?   Haven't figured that out yet?

Trump could perform an abortion on a 12 year old girl that he impregnated, put it on PPV and the evangelical right wingers would pay $49.99 to watch it and slut shame the girl.

FWIW, a quick look at the Newsweek link also led to links where Halperin is predicting (hoping?) that Drumpf will win. I agree Newsweek isn't what it used to be.

That's what they used to tell reporters before the corporate guys took over

For being our resident gov't employee you seem to post alot unsubstantiated stuff. Hoping and praying for RW violence, like begging for it to happen.

Warning about things that will come to pass.  

Not in this case at all. Just identifying something that would be a damaging revelation.

We thought the "bombshell negative story" was the Billy Bush tape.    Didn't touch him one bit.   There is no negative that goes lower than he already is - unless it involves him and a child.

The UAW may be unique in this regard, but while Ds still do struggle with trade union voters relative to the past, at least with Trump around, I've never really bought the "full on collapse" narrative that the media / Rs have been running with.

Just finished reading Hillbilly Elegy. What a self-aggrandizing and backstabbing prick JD Vance is.

It's like watching someone get all the right numbers despite not having any of the books they're contained within. A miracle. But instead of putting them together into an answer that contains something good for the world, he gets the entirely wrong answer, tells everyone in his community who didn't make it that it's their fault they didn't get those numbers, and then starts kicking at their hands on the fast exiting train towards generational wealth.

The unwritten epilogue is a gem too. Where he abandons his communities entirely and decides that being a sycophant, attached forever at the hip to a wannabe dictator, who would sell him down a river - plausibly instruct his millions of cult-like followers to kill him - in an instant if it benefitted him, is a better life than living a less successful life behind the scenes in Middletown, OH or Jackson, KY.

The scuttlebutt on Twitter is that there is video of Trump groping a donors teenage daughter at a recent fundraiser.
