I knew Donald Trump was growing increasingly desperate, like Benito Mussolini himself.
Before he expired from a bad case of lead poisoning, and was hung up to dry.
For it couldn’t have been easy having to kill his own campaign.
But who knew that dirty old man is now so afraid of being humiliated by Hillary Clinton.
He would suggest that his grubby supporters might kill her…

Montreal Simon: Why Donald Trump Has Just Destroyed His Own Campaign
In my last post I predicted that Donald Trump’s so-called birther campaign would do him enormous damage.
By finally exposing him as a dirty old crackpot.
But now I’m sure it will destroy him.

Babel-on-the-Bay: Can you fight fire with fire?
Got an interesting complaint from a frequent reader: he disagrees with our Morning Line assessment of the Republican candidate in the coming Presidential election in the United States. He thinks the odds should be even between the two candidates. His reasoning is that Hillary Clinton has failed to answer Mr. Trump’s claims about her. Frankly, […]
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Crackpot Candidate
He has been trying to soften his image, and portray himself as a reasonable man. A man who loves children and black people, not a deranged demagogue.
And it has boosted his polls.
But sadly for Donald Trump, he can only be reasonable for so long, before the voices in his head start screaming, and he reveals his inner racism.
And now, just as he was doing so well, he may have stuck a fork in his own campaign.

I don’t know how Donald Trump has managed to restrain himself, and not gloat about Hillary Clinton’s bout of pneumonia. It must be really difficult.
Considering what he was tweeting just six days ago.
And how hard he has been trying to portray her as “lying AND dying Hillary Clinton.”

Montreal Simon: Why Hillary Clinton’s Illness Could Boost Her Campaign
I didn’t think the U.S. presidential race could become even more nightmarish. But I was wrong.
For on a day when that country was remembering its 911 dead, and vowing to stay strong. And less than sixty days before the election.
There was Hillary Clinton wobbling worrisomely and practically collapsing with pneumonia.

Montreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Madness of America (Continued)
There are now less than sixty days to go before the U.S. presidential election, and with every passing day the campaign just seems to grow crazier and crazier.
For what else can explain that Donald Trump can say something as deranged as this.
Donald J. Trump, in escalating attacks against Hillary Clinton, suggested on Friday that his opponent was so immune to prosecution that she could shoot someone in front of thousands of witnesses and not be prosecuted
But doesn’t feel the need to apologize.

Montreal Simon: The Donald Trump Show and the Madness of America
The more I watch the Donald Trump show, the more it reminds me of the movie Cabaret, before the Nazis took over.
Because by now it’s beyond crazy even by the standards of America. And this seems to me to be madness.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton start the race to November 8 on essentially even ground, with Trump edging Clinton by a scant two points among likely voters, and the contest sparking sharp divisions along demographic lines in a new CNN/ORC Poll.
For although Hillary Clinton must share some of the blame, for spending the entire month of August fundraising, instead of campaigning.
So must many in the U.S. media.
