Donald Trump's 2016 General Election Campaign

Trump’s approach to governing is fine, as long as he a) makes sure he has total faith in the person actually running things for him, and b) recognizes that if the Vp screws up, it’s still on him.

And yes, I suspect that Pence would be handling most of the details of governing if Trump was to win. Kasich would have been a better guy for that, which is why Trump wanted him first, but Pence will probably do.

If I thought Trump would ACTUALLY stay out of the way, I’d vote for the Trump ticket to get Mike Pence as the acting President. But Trump’s ego doesn’t actually allow him to do that.

Having said that - threats and incitement to violence against the President and other federal employees, including judges and presidential candidates, will certainly get you a very uncomfortable interview with the Secret Service.

Some more data points:

Trump’s FEC numbers say he did $21 million in fundraising in June, or about half at what he tried to claim.

Also, the Hispanic Chamber of Congress endorsed Hillary Clinton while speaking to CNN at the RNC -

Plus c) he can’t say “you’re fired!” to his VP. (Well, he could say it, but it won’t have the same effect as on his “reality” tv shows.)

I wonder what’s running through Trump’s mind right now in re: Ted Cruz.

That Cruz is a loser. That’s his world.

If Russia invades the Baltic states, Donald isn’t sure whether the whole NATO thing should matter. He’d have to check his ledgers first to see if they’ve given us enough stuff:

Hoo boy. He just can’t stop being disappointing.

P.O.W.s? Wait, what?

Here’s something I’m wondering: Trump and Kasich… don’t seem to get along all that well. Kasich is the governor of a state that Trump would almost certainly need to win the Presidency. How will their current relationship affect that effort?

That might refer to Trump’s comments about John McCain a while back?

Let’s see, now:

Obligation #1: write a big, fat, check to the Donald J. Trump Foundation

Obligation #2: buy some Tim Tebow sports memorabilia

Absolutely. He referred to John McCain as a loser because he was captured by enemy forces. Real empathy, that Donald.

And Trump is relying on the party apparatus much more heavily than previous candidates since he has such a bare-bones campaign. Guess who controls the Republican Party in Ohio?

“I like people who weren’t captured.”

From almost exactly a year ago:

Donald Trump attacks John McCain: ‘He’s not a war hero’

Oh, yeah. It was that comment that drove him from the presidential race, as I recall. Nobody could stomach it.

And here we are. “Christ, what an imagination I’ve got!”

The way Mike Pence introduced himself really sickens me. He said I’m a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order." Did he forget about being an American? This kind of thing makes it even more obvious that the Republicans only care about their base (Christian, conservative, and mostly white) and would be happy to throw the rest of the country under the bus.

To him and his, “Christian conservative, and Republican” is the only true descriptors of “American.”

The irony being that he wants to be VP to a man who isn’t even a Christian.
