TRUMP IS SO HAPLESS RIGHT NOW HE HASN'T EVEN TAKEN ON HARVARD

Donald Trump is in such a world of hurt right now (down 15 points in the new McClatchy-Marist poll!) -- and not only are middle-of-the-road voters fleeing him in droves, he seems to be passing up a golden opportunity to play to his base.

The Harvard Republican Club announced it would not support Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump, and called for Republican leaders to withdraw their support of the candidate they called a “threat to the survival of the Republic” in a press release Thursday.

In the scathing statement, the largest conservative group at Harvard cited “both policy and temperamental concerns” about Trump and condemned his divisive campaign rhetoric they say “is poisoning our country and our children.” ...

“His authoritarian tendencies and flirtations with fascism are unparalleled in the history of our democracy,” the Republican Club said in a statement. “He hopes to divide us by race, by class, and by religion, instilling enough fear and anxiety to propel himself to the White House.”

This ought to be the perfect opening for him. Harvard! Elitists! The establishment! The school that let that Kenyan-born Barry Soetoro into its law school even though he was obviously unqualified!

Has Trump said anything about this yet? Isn't it a perfect opportunity for him to play to the "poorly educated," whom he loves?

Maybe he'll get around to it. Still, dude used to be so quick on the Twitter thumbs that he'd have a response to something like this in less time than it takes to cross Mass Ave. He's really slipping.
