So what’s the incident that will finally send Donald Trump back to his mansion to mope about not being president? I mean, the guy seems invulnerable. And he’s certainly survived a stupendous number of gaffes that would have killed anyone else.
But his latest howler at a town hall in New Hampshire—especially after his weak debate performance last night—might finally be his death knell. Note: The issue isn’t the questioner. There are lunatics in every crowd. This one declared, “We have a problem in this country: It’s called Muslims….They have training camps growing where they want to kill us.” Then he asked, “When do we get rid of them?” Did he mean all the Muslims? Just the fantasy training camps? Who knows. But all Trump said was this: “We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things.” No pushback, no nothing. I’m sure he’ll be walking this back soon, but it might be unwalkable. If there’s any justice, this might finally do him in.
