That's It? (with update)

Legendary asshole, Romney surrogate, and racist piece-of-shit Donald Trump just released his big Obama October Surprise:

Donald Trump said that he would donate $5 million to a charity of President Barack Obama's choosing. The catch?  Obama has to release his college applications and records, as well as his passport application and records, according to a Youtube video released Wednesday just before noon.  Trump said he'd honor the donation as long as Obama released those records before 5 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Your move, Mitt . . . .

And speaking of "momentum killers" for Romney, this is devastating:



And this doesn't help Romney's "momentum" either:

Republicans scrambled Wednesday to respond to Republican Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's assertion that even pregnancies caused by rape are intended by God, putting a harsh light on an issue that divides the party and has benefitted Democrats nationally and locally. * * *

[I]n a telling sign of where national Republicans see most of the country -- which favors abortion in the cases of rape or incest -- the campaign of GOP presidential nominee MItt Romney quickly distanced itself from the comment.

Yet it remains an issue that won't go away for Romney, whose campaign still backs the Hoosier Republican, if not his postion. "Gov. Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr. Mourdock’s comments do not reflect Gov. Romney’s views." said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul. "We disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest but still support him." Romney just endorsed Mourdock and cut an ad for him. The campaign has not asked him to remove the ad.

Geesus, it's almost as if these guys want Romney to lose and are doing everything they can to sabotage his campaign.

UPDATE:  White House senior adviser David Plouffe had this to say when asked about Trump's above-referenced announcement:  "Direct those questions to Boston because Donald Trump is Mitt Romney's biggest supporter, so he owns everything he says."
