Matt Taibbi makes the point much more eloquently than I do:

I was really hoping the fallout from Trump would make sure that politicians couldn't hide the role that money played in politics. For years they've been downplaying it, and now Trump comes along with all the cash he needs, and gets this far on (depending who you ask) his own dime and very little else. Policy? Basic human dignity? Who needs it when you have the cash.

I read somewhere he's actually contributed very little of his own money to his campaign.

I'm sure he has worked a way that he pays next to nothing.
Probably using his charities money, or set it up as a business and getting tax rebates/credits for the next 20 years

Like I said, the minute he loses, he'll cry "it's rigged! It's rigged against me!" Of course, if he (by some miracle) does win, we won't hear a single word of "rigged" from his mouth ever again.

In fact, he's starting the cry of it already, and there's still about three weeks to go.

The whole thing is just totally surreal. Donald Trump the presidential nominee. It was absurd long before it actually happened.

It's the most politically disgusting thing I've had the misfortune to witness in my life.

Although, I can imagine the headlines when he loses: "AMERICA TO TRUMP - YOU'RE FIRED!" Wonder how he'll like being on the receiving end of that line for a change.

this is crazy. Hillary keeps nailing deep thoughtful responses and ending with an obvious bait line, and TRUMP TAKES IT EVERY TIME.

Surely Trump's campaign is over now. No way he gets to deny the legitimacy of the election process and get away with it.

Yeah but his supporters are crazy, and there's not enough of them to win the election. He has to win the minds of sane people who want to not have Hillary as president. Sane people care when a candidate denies the validity of the election. Even REPUBLICANS are losing their shit.

I think a lot of them know he's done now, even though they're still defending him. She shanked him a few good times there and his surrogates are so retarded, no one gives a fuck what they bring up.

They've still got the USC/LA Times, IBD/TIPP narrative though!

I think the election is Hillary's to lose. Trump is done. Even if he fails to concede, he has very little legal comeback to win it.

Republican strategist and campaign manager for John McCain's presidential run Steve Schmidt on Trump's debate answer on accepting the election result:

"A disqualifying moment... it's a moment of clear and present danger to our constitutional order, to the republic. It's unprecedented in this history of the country."

The election results are legitimate, because America is Good.

Actually no - which I find surprising given the subject matter. Will chase it down, cheers

I hadn't seen "the clips" that my main man Donald was referring to.

Confirmation bias leads me to believe that Hillary's teeth are yellow from eating so much foetus, and that is why she is pro-abortion.

I don't think the Trumps are sufficiently audacious to want or pursue a genuine schism in the US. But Donald's tooling about could provide the fracture someone with some real ambition could exploit.

Or maybe the Republican party will collapse, the Democrats become the new right and some new leftish party pops up. I can dream, right?

Breitbart is another place where Trump is basically faultless and perfect, Hillary is the devil and the US is completely doomed under the Democrats.

Hillary needs to appoint a Mexican VP real quick. See, if she wins, there's no way the GOP will press for her resignation with a Mexican VP in line.

This "new emails" clusterfuck over the weekend looks like a massive, well, clusterfuck. Like an FBI Director personally trying to fuck a candidate for office in the last ten days of a campaign. It's nuts.
