Such a comedian:

In a December 1992 wire brief in the Chicago Tribune, Trump is described as having spotted a youth choir singing Christmas carols at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. He asked two girls how old they were. When they said they were 14, Trump, then 46, replied, “Wow! Just think — in a couple of years, I'll be dating you."
What kind of guy says that stuff? Thinking it is bad enough. Saying it?

 
538 numbers clicked towards trump there for a minute. Real clear politics was going to tomorrow, at least it was unil the fox poll came out. If Hillary won both the debate and ##### leak how the hell isnt she leading by double digits everywhere?  Rasmussen swang 9 points, I know ha ha, towards trump since the debate. He's up again in Ohio.

NBC/WSJ had him +1 yesterday.  Betting odds are adjusted based on how people are betting, not how they are voting.

Yeah, it's getting scary. From what I've read he's really upping the messianic nature of his rhetoric too -- and his followers are just lapping it up. As these people come to realize that he's getting trounced, the anger, fear, and desperation might lead to some real ugliness.
I have said it before:. Trump's rhetoric, especially the "rigged" stuff, is more dangerous to this country than ISIS ever will be. 

 
A few people here and in the media last night discussed anti-semitransparent. It's of a very indirect nature. Yesterday when Trump was complaining (for the zillionth time) that the media was against him, he specifically discussed a cabal of media, banking interests, and globalists seeking to do him in. This sort of language has a long history and was most often used against Jews by the Nazis.

These was not ad lib remarks but lines in a prepared speech, and I have to assume that it was heavily influenced by Roger Bannon, since it's so similar to a lot of Bannon's rhetoric while at Breitbart. 
There is no doubt that "international bankers" means "the greedy conniving Jews" to Trump and his followers

Bark twice if you're in Milwaukee.

 
Has Trump responded to Michelle Obama's speech?

I picture him right now as Roger Rabbit when the Judge did the "Shave and a Hair-cut" bit

Very dangerous to purposely lead people into believing that their presidential elections was stolen, and the only way to get it back is through violence.  Trump has in the past said things shows he supports violence. 

I say the one great thing this Trump POTUS race  has done is let these crazies come out into the open and not hide in their basements.  We got issues with racism and misogyny that honestly I did not know we still had in this county.

 
How about telling people to go to polling places and hangout "just to make sure everything is on the up and up".

That moron has no idea that saying things like that could have horrible consequences.

Seems far fetched that this will really have an impact.  What are they gonna do exactly?  Glare at you if you are brown?

He was the only Republican candidate during the primary in Florida to have official poll watchers outside precincts.  Both sides can do the same.

It's not what would actually happen at the polls, it's putting the idea in people's heads that our elections are rigged. As someone else pointed out here or somewhere else, the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next is one of the great things about this country. You see all these countries where they have "elections" where the dictator gets 97% of the vote. We are the polar opposite of that and set an example for the rest of the world.

That's a pretty big deal, and not something we wanna mess around with IMO.

 
From Obama's speech yesterday. Re: Trump and the Republican Party. Dead freaking on target.

We don’t even think that most Republican politicians actually really believe that Donald Trump is qualified for the presidency.   I know, because I talk to them.  They’re all like “Man, this is really bad.  We’re just trying to get through this.”

But, the problem is not that all Republicans think the way this guy does.  The problem is that they’ve been riding this tiger for a long time.  They’ve been feeding their base all kinds of crazy for years.  Primarily for political expedience.  So, if Trump was running around saying I wasn’t born here, they were ok with that.  As long as it helped them with votes.  If some of these folks on talk radio talked about how I was the anti-christ, well, you know, that’s just politics.  (Crowd laughs).  You think I’m joking.  If somebody completely denies climate change, or is filled up with all kinds of conspiracy theories how me and Hillary started ISIL, or that we were plotting to declare martial law, take away everybody’s guns.  

We did a military exercise, the Pentagon does these periodically, in Texas, suddenly, all the folks in Texas were like “They’re gonna take over right now”.  I am serious.  And then the Senator down there said “Yeah, we better look into that.”  The governor said “Well, I don’t know.”    What do you mean, you don’t know?  What does that mean?  Really?  You think that, like, the entire Pentagon said “You want to declare martial law, take over Texas, let’s do it under the guise of routine training missions...”  They took it seriously.     And, this is the Swamp of Crazy that has been fed over and over and over again.   And, look, there is a sort of spectrum. Look, if I watched Fox News I wouldn’t vote for me. 

I am really not exaggerating. Everything I am saying are actual things that have been said, and that people, a fairly sizable number of people in the Republican primaries believe.  And the people who knew better didn’t say anything.  They didn’t say “Well, I disagree with his economic policies, but that goes too far.”  They didn’t say “Well, I am not sure his foreign policy is the right one for America, but we can’t allow our politics to descend into the gutter.”  People like Ted’s opponent (Portman), they stood by while this happened.   And, Donald Trump, as he’s prone to do, he didn’t build the building himself, just slapped his name on it, took credit for it.   And that’s what happened in their party.  All that bile, all the exaggerations, all the stuff that was not grounded in fact, just kind of bubbled up, started surfacing.  They know better, and they didn’t say anything.

They don’t get credit (Republican leaders, GOP Senate candidates) for, at the very last minute, when finally the guy that they nominated, that they endorsed and that they supported, is caught on tape saying things that no decent person would even think, much less say, much less brag about, much less laugh about or joke about, much less act on, you can’t wait until that finally happens, and then say, “Oh, that’s too much, that’s enough,” and think that somehow you are showing any kind of leadership and deserve to be elected to the United States Senate.  You don’t get points for that. 

Don’t act like this started with Donald Trump.  He took it to a whole new level, but it didn’t come out of nowhere.

I'll assume that you've seen footage from the rallies -- I don't think he's just talking about glaring at anyone. Of course, they'll get arrested if they try any of that, but that'll just feed the rigged election conspiracy theories even more. It's not good.
