Documenting the Brutality

Per NBC and my "First Read" daily email, Donald Trump Has Had a Brutal Seven Days and includes the following:
  1. his rough debate performance last Monday night;
  2. his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado;
  3. his poll numbers showing him losing ground to Clinton after the debate;
  4. his infamous 3:00 am tweetstorm on Clinton and Machado;
  5. his lashing out at Clinton Friday over her husband’s sexual past;
  6. the bombshell New York Times report on Trump’s 1995 taxes, in which he declared a $916 million loss, potentially allowing him to avoid paying federal income taxes for 18 years (!!!);
  7. a brand-new AP report that Trump “repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language” during his years as boss of “The Apprentice,” according to show insiders “who said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he'd like to have sex with.”
At this point in his campaign for president, if Trump cannot find a way around or through all of the above, it could be HRC in the White House after Election Day and, if that happens...

I had a conversation about politics with my brother-in-law over the weekend. He is very anti-HRC but not a Trump lover either. He talked about how neither HRC nor Trump are worthy of the Oval Office. Neither is clean; neither seems to be ethical. Neither of us know what will happen in November.
