I don’t know what you are trying to argue against here. It seems desperate.
Only twenty eight people have ever gotten the Republican nomination for POTUS (if I counted them correctly).
Trump will probably be the twenty eighth, due to his popularity.
“The Trumpening”
I love it. Hank, you have made my day. 
. . . It’s the Trump campaign. How is what you are demanding even, logically, possible?!
Day 70: Chris Christie taken hostage. Click the picture to savor the Governor’s ineffable grimace. Note the enforcer in sun glasses who presumably prevents attempts at escape. Today, Indiana, tomorrow ???
… wherever you go to convince Indiana to want you?
Yeah, but, Lord, he can’t go back there.
Trump goes back in form by calling the choice of Tubman in the $20 bill to be **just **political correctness, so the “rear” of the money denominations should be more appropriate for her.
Yeah, but the rest of that interview was fascinating:
Donald Trump joins TODAY Show for live town hall, answers voters’ questions - TODAY.com
He was also asked if Caitlyn Jenner came to Trump Towers, if he’d be ok with her picking whatever bathroom she thought appropriate, and he said yes.
Grover Norquist is having a heart attack somewhere right now.
Based on the actual tax plan Drumpf released, Norquist has nothing to worry about.
So by your lights, I suppose we’d have to say that both Nixon and W. were wildly popular when they left office. Whereas I’d say that the way most people use words, Drumpf is one of the most UNpopular people in America. In fact, I would be hard-pressed to think of someone who is more disliked. Maybe Martin Shkreli(sp?), but I’m not sure he is well enough known to have as many people deeply dislike him as Drumpf does.
Or as David Brooks put it on MTP (BrainGlutton, I suspect you will like this quote better):
I like Trump more than I like… um, bubonic plague, so he’s got that going for him, at least.
His buboes are YUGE!
Not dying from the best plague ever? Sad.
Some good news since yesterday if you’re Trump:
Politico reported on a poll showing Trump sweeping through California:
Several polls have been showing Trump leading in Indiana
And Sam Wang has a couple projections showing that Trump could clear 1,237 pledged delegates before the convention.
This is very interesting for two reasons.
First, of course, is that it highlights the divide within the modern Republican Party: Republicans aren’t all especially religious. They, being the more conservative of the two parties, are more likely to be favorable to religion, but that’s not the same as wanting a theocracy or even wanting more religiously-inspired legislation. The religious, by which I mean the Fundamentalist Evangelicals, were drawn into the Republican Party within living memory, and there just isn’t any reason the modern marriage between that faction and the more economically-focused factions of the Republican party has to be permanent. The GOP, by which I mean whatever leadership apparatus the Republican Party establishment has left, has to choose which group it will latch onto, and it doesn’t have a lot of time left to decide, as Trump himself proves.
Second, and more deeply, it brings into sharp focus what the North Carolina bill is trying to accomplish, why it was inevitable, and why it will inevitably become a massive failure even on its own terms. It’s trying to legislate culture. It’s trying to bring back the culture where everyone knew which bathroom they were supposed to go into and, more importantly, where trans and non-binary people were so far from the mainstream mindset that any discussion about restrooms in this sense would have been unthinkable.
As trans and otherwise gender-nonconforming people began to move into the light, such discussions became inevitable, and it was inevitable that the reactionary among the mainstream would try to force the discussion closed with legislation. But you can’t shove the bugle call back into the bugle. You can’t force a discussion to never have happened. The mere presence of the question, spoken or not, changes the whole social dynamic, making an unquestionable social norm something that now has to be policed. Finally, in the last stage of this little drama, resistance meets resistance, and the pro-progress forces are stronger than North Carolina or Mississippi or any other reactionary pocket.
The law therefore catalyzes its own destruction by giving the forces of progress a tangible target to aim at, instead of the previous condition, where they were forced to shadow-box an implicit cultural assumption which was as pervasive, and as intangible, as air.
I was curious, what is the biggest lie Trump has ever told? I think I found it.
I don’t like clicking unmarked videos so tell me, is that the "Hillary would make a good president " interview answer? Just a guess.
It’s Trump telling Rudy Giuliani in drag he looks “really beautiful”.
I don’t know, either.
If he wasn’t laughing as he said it, that’s automatically disqualifying for the Presidency. If it’s not in the Constitution, it ought to be.
There you go again, ruling by Fiat.
