Kellyanne Conway on Hillary Clinton: ‘Whether she goes to jail is not up to Donald Trump’


Donald Trump raised eyebrows during Sunday’s presidential debate by saying Hillary Clinton would be “in jail” if he were president. But Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, says he was just kidding.

“It was a quip,” Conway said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday. “Whether she goes to jail is not up to Donald Trump.”

The purported “quip” came after the Republican nominee vowed to appoint a special prosecutor to go after Clinton ...

Republicans deserve their sad fate


A man comes out of a church after a fire-and-brimstone sermon on the Ten Commandments, pauses a moment, and then tells his wife, “At least I haven’t made any graven images!”

This is the type of praise Republicans could muster for Donald Trump’s second debate performance. He did not have a mental breakdown on stage or try to kiss anyone against their will — some of the lowest bars ever set in the presidential debate expectations game ...

TRUMP’S THREAT TO JAIL CLINTON INVITES HIS OWN PROSECUTION


... So maybe Trump really thinks that another investigation would yield a different result.

But even if so, (1) Trump will probably lose the election, and (2) Trump himself is potentially vulnerable to criminal prosecution for various of his shadier business dealings, especially the use of Trump Foundation funds to pay for Trump business expenses.

If Trump really thinks it is appropriate for the winner of a presidential election to pursue a politically motivated prosecution against the loser, he ought to be more worried about his own fate. Why isn't he? ...

How Alex Jones, a Trump-approved conspiracy theorist, is disrupting the presidential race


In the long history of United States’ presidents, the chief executive has defended the office against myriad accusations, but Tuesday is likely to have been the first time that a sitting president has had to deflect accusations that he might be a demon.

“Democracy in a big, diverse country doesn’t work if you constantly demonize each other,” President Obama noted Tuesday, speaking at a rally in Greensboro, N.C. “And I mean that literally, by the way. I was reading the other day, there’s a guy on the radio who — apparently Trump’s on his show frequently — he said me and Hillary are demons. Said we smell like sulfur. Ain’t that something?”

Obama then sniffed his arm for effect, delighting the crowd of Clinton supporters attending his speech.

The “guy on the radio” Obama was referring to is Alex Jones, a libertarian radio host who has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “almost certainly the most prolific conspiracy theorist in contemporary America” ...

How the GOP’s Big Tent turned into a house of horrors


What is the Republican Party?

Suddenly, this has become one of the central questions of the 2016 campaign. It’s not simply a matter of whether the GOP is the party of Donald Trump or the party of Paul D. Ryan. It is also an issue of whether Republican congressional leaders have any connection with the seething grass roots whose anger they stoked during the Obama years but always hoped to contain. Trump is the product of their colossal miscalculations ...
