Very unpleasant remarks by Trump. He seems to be admitting it too.
Perhaps he's a man who judges women by their 'attractiveness', and appears to be overly interested in beauty contests. Not terribly suitable (or necessary) in a potential President.

I'm sorry, I ass-u-med.

trump called a Miss Universe winner "miss piggy" after she put on a little weight after she was crowned, and also called her "miss housekeeper"(she's Latina"} and and "eating machine". HRC called him on it during the debate and He got even more flustered. Per usual, he doubled down the next morning saying she was the worst contestant he ever had, and that her attitude was alful. It has outraged people of both sexes and I was wondering if he finally went too far. ps. She is a most beautiful lady, indeed. Mike

I believe it's because many women of Hispanic ethnicity take up domestic jobs in USA. The insulting inference is that she could be 'merely' a house-servant, simply because she's originally from Venezuela. Odious stereotyping and racism.

Another false step by Trump - but I suppose most of his fans will see it as endearing.
The other one during that debate that should really kill him was his boasting about cheating on his tax - "that's because I'm smart".

Are there really enough Americans who are that nasty that this man has a snowball's chance in hell? If there really are, maybe the world needs to put the USA in quarantine.

Mencken a better soothsayer than nostradamus by a long chalk, to whit:

*The common man is chiefly to be distinguished by his plentiful lack of common sense: he believes things on evidence that is too scanty, or that distorts the plain facts, or that is full of non sequiturs. Common sense really involves making full use of all the demonstrable evidence — and of nothing but the demonstrable evidence.

*The men American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try and tell them the truth.

*As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I'd suspect that Trump thinks precisely the same as Mencken about ordinary people. The difference is Trump is happy about it.

It's dangerous to give into that kind of despair about the human race. And, thank God, it's not actually borne out by experience a lot of the time..

Jeri sez: Hillary's anti-Trump ads seem to consist solely of recording of Trump saying things.

That's my impression, too, Jeri. And yet Trump said in the debate that Hillary is being unfair by attacking him all the time. I haven't seen any attacks from Hillary. She seems to be taking the high road. I've seen and heard lots of nasty attacks on Hillary from the Trump campaign. In Pennsylvania last week, I saw a h-u-g-e billboard depicting Hillary with a Pinocchio nose - a schoolboy tactic, I'd say.

Listen, if Trump were a normal candidate - regardless of politics - and had "merely" said things like, "John McCain is no war hero. He was captured, I like people who don't get captured"; and, "I could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and I wouldn't lose a single voter"; and "The judge is hater....I'm building a wall, he's a Mexican" etc., he'd be *through* long ago.

But his technique is to say something new and outrageous, or disgusting, several times a week. It starts to seem "normal" to people.

Latest gem: "She's taken so many day offs [sic], but she still can't make it to her car! That's tough."

He's also boasting that "almost all the polls" say he won the debate hands down.

His new ad shows supporters of all ages and ethnicities (including seemingly Hispanic) enthusing at a huge rally that "He tells the truth!" It's the focus of the ad.

What Mr Trump "says" on a personal level is unimportant, As Lighter says he is playing a game.

As far as politics are concerned IMO, the breaking of the corrupt two party system is what is important and the only way that can be achieved is by a populist like Trump, who will not be controlled by the political establishment.

The present polarisation of American party politics is also just as much of a game as the one Mr Trumps is playing, the establishment having fooled people into the belief that there is any real difference between the parties.
Both are in place to serve themselves and global capitalism, not the electorate.

"Trump's business with Cuba broke the law, flouted U.S. foreign policy, and is in complete contradiction to Trump's own repeated, public statements that he had been offered opportunities to invest in Cuba but passed them up," Clinton campaign senior adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement. "This latest report shows once again that Trump will always put his own business interest ahead of the national interest — and has no trouble lying about it."

Here's your hero again, Ake:

* The Trump Foundation, which is under investigation by the New York Attorney General's office, never obtained the necessary certification to solicit money from the public during its nearly 30-year existence, an investigation by the state's attorney general's office has found, a source briefed on the investigation tells ABC News.

* Los Angeles (AFP) - A conservative Arizona newspaper is facing death threats and losing subscriptions after it broke with tradition by endorsing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump for US president, a senior editor told AFP.

The Phoenix-based Arizona Republic, the state's largest newspaper, announced in an editorial on Tuesday that it is backing a Democrat for the first time since it was founded in 1890 on the grounds that Trump is neither conservative nor qualified to be president. The paper's editorial board said that while Clinton did not lack flaws, she was also the "superior choice" by far.


* USA Today set another precedent on Thursday, when its editorial board took a side in a presidential race for the first time in its 34-year history.Publishing scathing criticism of Trump, the national paper urged readers to oppose a candidate it said is "dangerous" and "unfit for the presidency." It went on to call him "erratic," "ill-equipped," "reckless," someone with a "checkered" business past, and a "serial liar."
