WEEK 069 / 073 — The Week Built to Kill Him
OCTOBER 7, 2016. AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD RECORDING DETONATES. IN A SINGLE HOUR THE PARTY TURNS ITS BACK. AT MIDNIGHT HE FACES THE CAMERA ALONE.
(Here is my statement.)
“Certainly has been an interesting 24 hours!”
“The media and establishment want me out of the race so badly - I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! #MAGA”
FORTY-EIGHT HOURS LATER: ST. LOUIS. THE SECOND DUEL. HE FIGHTS LIKE A CORNERED ANIMAL.
“.@HillaryClinton is NOT above the law!#Debates2016”
Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominee
OCTOBER 10. THE DESERTERS ARE DISMISSED, NOT MOURNED. THE WEEK BUILT TO KILL HIM IS OVER — AND SOMETHING IN HIM HAS COME LOOSE.

This week in the saga
The saga's darkest pages. An eleven-year-old recording detonates, and in a single panel of turned backs the party abandons its champion; at midnight he faces the camera alone. By Saturday afternoon he vows in full capitals never to drop out, and forty-eight hours later he walks into the St. Louis duel a cornered animal — and walks out alive.
