Trump's latest disgusting act: Donald Trump's tweet on killing of Dwyane Wade’s cousin sparks uproar. Even more despicable? The "condolence" tweet didn't come from him, but his staff. Link. Don the Con is the lowest form of life on Earth... wait, that presumes he is a living thing, not a monstrous creation.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I truly don't see how the GOP survives this Trump phenomena the next three months. Everyday there is irrevocable damage to their brand.
George W Bush commented that he feels that he will be the last Republican president.
the authors of these obits maintain at just over 2 months to go, mr trump will loose in a landslide. i am not convinced. despite the fact a new poll suggests a very high percent of people have already made up their mind.
we have a series of debates. i have no doubt kaine will best pence as pence is on the wrong side of a number of issues. however i believe people can change their minds especially in a highly charged debate between an astute media hound and a policy wonk.
i have no faith in the American voter as they are for the most part either partisans or easily seduced by the bright lights. and even though the trump camp has had bend into ridiculous contortions to support their candidate, in a world driven by visual media, the message will be lost to the histrionics of mud and smoky mirrors.
is it possible the debates will turn out to be the greatest illusion of history and trump will emerge as the front runner?
ignorance is the enemy without equality there is no liberty Save America - Lock Trump Up!!!!

No. You are assuming there will be actual debates, and that if they do take place, they will change people's minds. People will hear what they want to hear. Trump has done everything in his power to alienate as much of the population as he can. With Bannon that will only get worse. You can't light a candle for the devil and another for Christ. You lose both. That is the path he has chosen. Landslide is relative: if not many Repubs go out to vote then Dem turnout will win the day. If they grudgingly vote for Trump (a possibility, for sure) then it may be less of a shellacking. Either way, the only way he can win is if more than 50% of the country does not turn out. Somehow, that is highly unlikely.

No, he can "win" if it appears less than half the country voted. Between active suppression efforts and ballots "disappearing" he could pull it off. It would not be the first time. 2004 election controversies - Wikipedia.

If a Clinton/Trump debate does take place I think it will be obvious to any somewhat competent viewer than Clinton has a deep understanding of all the issues and can talk for hours on any of them, while Trump doesn't even know what the issues are.
I say "if" because I think Trump knows a debate would finish him off, and is doing whatever he can to avoid it.
Which is why Anonymous "said" they did this on Election Night 2012:

We coded and created, what we call, The Great Oz. A targeted password protected firewall that we tested and refined over the past weeks. We place this code on more than one of the digital tunnels and their destination’s that Karl’s not so smart worker bees planned to use on election night.
NOTE: On Election Night 2012, a lot of us were online here at RR and we watching the State-by-State results and the Ohio's State Results DID go down around 11:10pm and when the computer came back up, Obama DID lose votes, but not as many as what happened in 2004 to John Kerry.
There were screen shots, but the entire thread is no longer there.
