Post-Convention Trumpery

The conventions are over and, as I expected, the shift has strongly come back in Secretary Clinton's favor. An average 7-9% lead over Trump.
However, other events are in my thoughts today.
I've said all along, I expect Trump to bow out of the race at some point, probably once he's finished ruining the Republican party, and certainly when he faces the inevitability of being a "loser," he'll do what he did in Atlantic City leave the race.
But he's setting up that and other things now.
Aside from his likely involvement in the email leaks and DNC email break-in, a high tech Watergate-like affair, he's already brought up the debates.
I know he doesn't want to debate the Secretary. She's too smart. Trite little answers, snarky comments and name calling would only go unchallenged by a Fox News sponsored debate. I've questioned since it was evident he was going to be the nominee about whether he would debate her.
First, the bipartisan and independent Commission on Presidential Debates released the dates for presidential debates last year. Likely before the NFL released their game dates. Not that that should have any bearing on it.
This past Sunday, speaking with George Stephanopolous, Trump stated he'd received a letter from the NFL complaining about the fact two debates aired the same time as football games.
The NFL has flatly denied they ever sent, or were aware or concerned with other programming, to Trump or anyone.
So he tried to shift to a false narrative by lying, again.
Then he brings in Bernie again, saying the Clinton camp is rigging the election with the debates, like they "rigged the primary to beat Bernie."
Again, the commission is independent and had no idea who the nominees would be when they created the dates.
Then Trump says he shouldn't do the debates because he's not getting paid and he can tell the American people his views and policies via Twitter and calling into TV shows.
Whoa.
First, before I go any further, allow me to say this: the NFL or ANY show on TV should NEVER be viewed as more important than the election of our president. Whether you watch them or not, saying the NFL is so important that choosing the leader of the greatest country in the world should take a backseat to it is both offensive and a spit on the graves of every American that ever died protecting our freedoms.
Second, you don't get to rewrite how we choose and elect our leaders Donald. Deciding what you will do, or release in the event of taxes, is crooked, deceptive, shady, and causation for defeat in itself. Just because you have a group of ignorant pissed off rednecks in the poorest states with the worst education does not give you unanimous consent.
You're asking the American people to trust you, without plan or policy, to lead this country. Yet you give them no reason to.
Your business dealings are fraudulent. You refuse to release tax returns, even though billionaires worth ten to thirty times more than you, Warren Buffet and Michael Bloomberg, as well as one worth about $4 billion, probably still more than you, call it hogwash.  They too have been audited. They've unnecessarily volunteered to release their tax returns just to get you to. That tells me they know the real you. Which is why you generally refuse to engage them in your ignorant comments (although attacking Bloomberg could easily be a serious problem for you, I foresee).
So my take is you won't debate.
You will pull out of the race toward October.
And if some miracle occurs and you win, you'll resign, probably claiming you're not making enough money, even though it's probably a bigger paycheck than you've ever regularly cashed.
You are a carnival huckster. A sham.
You truly don't deserve to live for all the damage you're doing to your party and the country.
Lastly, I imagine several more mock scandals will be created by your party in an effort to once again defame Secretary Clinton. Forty years they've been trying to create some supposed scandal.
They've always failed.
But come, let's see, shall we say week two of October, I foresee the GOP pulling some made up bullshit and trying to drag her numbers down so close to the election that they feel she can't recover.
But I truly think the American people are tired of wasted millions by public officials when it's evident they are only trying to create a scandal to bring down a good American in Secretary Clinton.
