Wonder what would happen if they gave it rolling coverage for a week, pundits and experts dissect it, analyzing him: Is he having a breakdown? Is he mad? Is he a psychopath? What about supporters? Experts weigh-in on their mass delusions. A week-long story giving it the attention it merits.

Amazing that Chait can choose to be not terrible when he feels like it.

Even better example: Trump repeatedly telling crowds if he wins he'll have it "fixed so good" they'll never have to vote again was quickly memory-holed. Imagine a Dem, any Dem, saying anything resembling that.

be interesting for her to test that, just make the same claim as Trump and then point out the hypocrisy. I realize why she can’t, but it would be fun.

Decent for him, the bar is also low. But he's wrong, the media DOES want Trump to win. Not necessarily individual journalists, but their paymasters do.

"the media have given up on holding him to anything resembling a customary standard of behavior for a presidential candidate." Well, maybe, uh don't do that? Also, the media has been doing this for 15 years. They accelted "birtherism" as a political resume builder, and have carries water ever since."the media have given up on holding him to anything resembling a customary standard of behavior for a presidential candidate."
