The funny thing is, I think that it was his base that totally ruined it for him. There might have been some merit to his smear-campaign strategy, but if you'll notice, it turned his audiences into raging mobs. He aimed at seeding doubts in the minds of moderates, but ended up just inflaming the negative sentiments of the right. I think that he underestimated the nastiness that people are capable of, and I think that if he'd continued along the path he started, he'd end up appearing angry, hateful, and possibly even racist.
I am SO ready for this election to be over.
