Well, he’s right that there’s never been anything quite like this in our history.

Aaah, no. You raising a baseless slanderous theory, even if against a couple of jerks, only says something about you. The fact that I questioned the basis of your comment? I’m not worried about what that says about me.

Well there’s your problem: you should have gone to Macayo or maybe Lindo Michoacan instead.

Maybe Hillary could invite the Freedom Girls’ family as her guests to next debate and pay them what Il Cheeto owed them for entertaining at his rally. That would start an orange frenzy. ������

I like how he cites his “photographic memory” as proof despite the fact that this isn’t a real thing.

Well, he _is_ a victim, just like the guy who wrapped his lexus around a tree because he just had to have that fourth G&T, “one for the road”, was a victim. But it is like my boss told me, “_you didn’t get him fired, he set himself up for it_.”

And it is starting to look like he will be the “victim” again, as he insists on being directly under that glass ceiling when it goes. That is not going to tickle.

Trump has seemingly decided to focus fire on Summer Zervos, [releasing a statement](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cuxt-64XEAQ2w80.jpg) from her (male) cousin that she always spoke well of Trump and never hinted at anything and [an email](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CuxvdmgW8AAXONb.jpg) allegedly from Zervos inviting Trump to her restaurant in April 2016.

I’m guessing they’ll try and poke holes in her story and then claim that all the other allegations must be false by association.
