Another Donald Trump tweet ... He couldn't win class president with his record of tweets

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...8996f?section=

Quote:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Why didn't Hillary Clinton announce that she was inappropriately given the debate questions -
she secretly used them! Crooked Hillary.

Quote:
Although the GOP nominee didn’t specify which debate he was referring to, the timing of the tweet suggested he was speaking about Wednesday’s debate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

The event was moderated by Fox News host Chris Wallace. The prospect of the conservative network “rigging” the debate in Clinton’s favor is laughable. Wallace was widely praised for his fine job of focusing on the issues, and he pressed both candidates equally.

Trump’s accusation is par for the course for the New York businessman, who often makes wild claims and engages in conspiracy theories without offering any evidence. Most recently, he has taken to claiming the election is rigged due to voter fraud.

His fear of a rigged debate seems to stem from a hacked WikiLeaks email that suggested that Donna Brazile, the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, earlier this year shared the text of a proposed question with Clinton ahead of a CNN town hall event featuring her primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

You've got to be kidding me.

EDIT: Upon following the links it would seem that you are indeed not kidding. How did this man amount to anything in life when he clearly has not matured emotionally since 5th grade?

It's funny, I've heard theories that periodically someone tries to take his phone away to stop him tweeting but he always seems to get it back or just get a new one. They really should have tried to fix that, but it goes to show that the professionals, the people who know how a campaign should be run are not the people in control of Trump and his message.

I can just picture the argument among the campaign staff over who's turn it was to watch Donald.

Personally, I put no weight behind the debate at all and do not use debates to determine how I vote. We're stuck in a process that functions to pick people who are not fitted to be President. We can see that with both parties.

I like democracy as a theory, but in practice it devolves into insanity, where the skills necessary to get elected are not the skills necessary to govern. Therefore, the very election process works against the best interest of the country.

We got much better candidates from the bad old days of the smoke filled rooms and under the table deals. I don't know exactly why that is true, but experience has taught that our present methods need to be changed.

What earns the nomination needs to be the skills needed to lead the country. Now, earning the nomination just about guarantees the failure of the President. Obama and GW Bush both prove that. Pushed by opposing groups of people, their presidencies accomplished the same: exceptional mediocrity. No matter who wins, we're repeating the debacle.
