Why is he still campaigning?

Massaging his ego. The real facts about his popularity are beyond his two cells.

Franken had to quit as his main thing was truth. He could not go with any half truths.

Trump’s job, for his base, IS to lie. They only follow if he lies.

I hope he's wrong, but these days, you never know...

Shouldn't that be that the bounds for the unthinkable continuously grow?

I mean, I thought that it would be impossible for a candidate for the leadership of a civilised country be clearly identified as a lecherous, venal fool and then actually elected. My sense of what is unthinkable has definitely grown...

I think it's accurate. What we see is that fewer things in US politics have become 'unthinkable' in the era of the Bogus administration.
Yes, “some conspiratorial quid pro quo between somebody in the Trump campaign and somebody representing Vladimir Putin” is “possible,” allowed Wall Street Journal columnist Holman Jenkins, but “we would be stupid not to understand that other countries have a stake in the outcome of our elections and, by omission or commission, try to advance their interests. This is reality.” The notion of a criminal conspiracy by a hostile nation to intervene in the election in return for pliant foreign policy has gone from unthinkable to blasé, an offense only to naïve bourgeois morality.
Seems to me I've read very similar musings somewhere....

Maybe I was confusing the unthinkable with the boundary...

However, we all know what was meant...

There'll be a push back against it in the end. The new puritanism cannot come soon enough.

Make sure you revisit the Trump stories - three media screw ups in one week. https://www.axios.com/the-medias-russia ... 78886.html
The misses

Flynn's testimony: Last Friday, ABC News reported that former national security advisor Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that President Trump, while still a candidate, directed him to contact Russian officials. But later in the day, the network issued a "clarification" that the direction came when Trump was president-elect. That changed the impact of the story entirely as it's a common occurrence for presidential transition teams to reach out to foreign governments.

Deutsche Bank subpoena: Reuters and Bloomberg both reported on Tuesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation had subpoenaed Deutsche Bank for information on accounts relating to President Trump and his family members — seemingly confirming that Mueller had expanded his probe to investigate the president's financial dealings. The WSJ defused that bombshell in a follow-up report stating that the subpoenas actually dealt with "people or entities close to Mr. Trump."

WikiLeaks emails: CNN reported this morning that senior Trump campaign officials, including Trump himself, received an email from an unknown sender on September 4, 2016 that linked them to what could have been unreleased WikiLeaks documents. WaPo issued their own report later in the afternoon that the email was actually sent on September 14 — and linked to a trove of documents that WikiLeaks had publicly released a day earlier.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

As usual you can always count on President Scumbag to completely contradict his vacant self.
