    The one thing Trump's opponents have going for them - he's his own worst enemy.

    I think the Republicans are just waiting for him to implode.

    Besides one of my aunts on my father's side of the family, I've never seen anyone lie so continuously. It is as if he cannot help himself.

    Clinton, Nixon, Trump - all fell at their own hands. And yet, we now know of others just as corrupt. Is it the Presidency? Or, is it the type of person who wants to be President?

    It's the type of person that is attracted to elected office. Having worked in the public sector for the past 41 years, I've seen it over and over again. You should have seen it as well.

    I'm now reading that mr big mouth might just have dug his hole deeper----it seems he described a document on the tape that did not show up as part of the recovered documents

    I grow increasingly optimistic that trump is going down

    My hope is that trump comes to realize that screwing an endless line of poor suckers one at a time is a bit different than screwing an entire country all at once

    Bankruptcy isn't going to let him dodge any of this

    Bankruptcy won't keep him out of the White House. Jail might.

    Understood, and my point was that he could not shelter himself with bankruptcy protection as he did in the past. When things would get too nasty he would drain all the assets out of what ever shell company was threatened and declare bankruptcy. Since the company had no assets the creditors were left sucking wind.

    I will guarantee everyone, that if the SOB is ever sentenced to jail there will be a cheer go up from contractors and vendors all over the NE---you will hear them in Texas
