Rick Wilson - and Steve Schmidt - have both brutalized Trump. And I love it.
Schmidt is on MSNBC a lot, correct? I don't watch it that often, but recognize the name.
He was McCain's (and plenty of other R's) presidential campaign manager in '08

Yeah, I was just wondering where on TV he pops up a lot - over there sometimes, right?

The truth is that he lost his mind a long time ago. Just go back to the campaign and he was the same rambling idiot saying that Obama founded ISIS, Ted Cruzs dad killed JFK, Muslims cheering during 911 The man is mentally deficient and he managed to con Americans into voting for him simply by lying his was off. This is who Trump always was becoming President just amplified his mega phone.

Does anyone actually think this is OK?
And does anyone actually think Trump is not directly responsible for this behavior?

Every republican in Congress who has failed to vociferously denounce Trump should be held accountable for their silence.

Some have said that the pressure has made it worse. More things out of his control. More allies getting convicted and getting "flipped" as he likes to say. They say an animal is most dangerous when its back is against the wall. (At least that's what I've heard on TV.
But as to his basic character flaws, of which there are many, he's basically the same scamming, liar, puffer, grifter that he's always been since he was a teen. It's just amazing to me how so many voters either didn't care or were just outright ignorant of who he is.

Pretty much, he was always fairly aimless but it just sounded like he didn't know wtf he was talking about and trying to "used car salesman" his way out of it (I cannot believe this garbage worked). Now he sounds straight up delusional, like zero grip on reality brought about by masses buying his schtick for too long and validating his conspiratorial speculations that he passes off as fact. It's kinda crazy but I miss when he was just coming across stupid rather than unhinged...remember this one?“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

Trump's brain is essentially a word salad constructed from a limited vocabulary. His synapses fire at a quarter impulse compared to any one of us so he never actually completes a thought. Everything in his brain is thinkus interruptus which explains his lack of attention span, inability to form logical thoughts or coherent sentences.
Yes, it is hard to believe there are that many people who actually supported this low IQ used car lot dealer. That's why Betsy Devos is a significant character in our society now. She's putting the final touches on the GOP's three decade assault on the educational system, an agenda driven by the desire to exert control over a dumbed down citizenry which finally bore the perhaps unintended fruit of being able to elect a knuckle dragging freak like Trump.
The irony of this deliberate destruction of our educational system is it also resulted in dumbed down candidates that sprouted from this humus of decomposing brain matter. The Tea Party was that first wave of idiocy rolling like an incoming tide over the GOP and that Sarah Palin level of intellect ended up becoming the norm. So the end result has become idiots ruling over idiots.
