Because Trump told them to, because Obama called him unfit for office. By now Trump has got rid of anyone on his campaign staff that tries to argue with him. So when Trump says “attack Obama”, they just say “yes sir” rather than explaining how pointless that is.
It would be sexist, yes, but the best part about it is, Meg Whitman would absolutely kick his ass. Trump would get beaten up – by a woman. By a woman who is smarter than he is. By a woman with a much better business track record than his. That’s the best part about it. Whitman would be his Waterloo. If she wanted to be. If Trump is game to test her. But I doubt that he does. He’s like most bullies…a coward.
I’m gonna try like hell to get Trump’s rally in Portland, ME today, so if anyone has any ideas for something I can do or yell (without getting arrested), now is the time to float them.
Round up several friends who can bring their babies. Don’t give the babies any breakfast before you go. Distribute yourselves throughout the crowd. That should do it.
Exactly. Just let him keep talking. Best choice for him would be an 1896 style front porch campaign. I can just hear a Trump adviser in his best Archie Bunker voice saying, “Stifle Don, just stifle”.
So (can’t believe this is an actual metric for this election), the billionaires supporting HRC now include:
Gates
Buffett
Bloomberg
Whitman
Klarman
Cuban
Soros
Bienoff
Bezos*
*Probably. He does own WaPo.
I’m at the Trump rally now but I can’t get a ticket inside. Right now there’s about 200 or so protestor that I’m in the midst of now. And another dozen or so Trump supports in opposition.
Taking a few snaps that I’ll post sooner or later. I don’t know if Donny Two Times is coming into the main entrance of the joint but if he does I’m in prime real estate to throw a jibe at him.
I, your humble reporter, await the arrival of The Orange One.
We eagerly await your reports. Stay safe!
Trump can’t resist lashing out at people who criticize him, even when it’s not in his self-interest. So I guess the best strategy would be to keep lining up extremely sympathetic people to criticize him… and watch him dig his own grave by insulting them. It’d be hard to do better than the Khans, though.
It’s time to start screaming about the Fire Marshall.
Make it about his hands. Like “Hey, baby hands!”
In fact, how about a cultural meme, something with doll hands? Perhaps tossing doll hands at Donald would be too violent… maybe silently waving a long stick with a doll hand attached at him?
Alas, there was no confrontation. In retrospect, there’s no way Cheeto Jesus was going to walk that gauntlet. He would have been booed so hard his hairpiece would have caught fire.
It was a relatively calm affair; there should have been no concern for my safety. It was all very *Kumbayah *… almost literally. When I arrived there was, as I said, maybe two to three hundred people - many sporting homemade signs - milling about in front of city hall (the rally is at Merrill Auditorium, which is in the back of the city hall building). I got right up to the rail and stood there for about an hour as more and more people rolled in. I’d say at it’s peak there were maybe 1,000 people about. We were all chanting all the goofy little things you do at things like this (“Hey, hey, ho, ho. Donald Trump has got to go” … “Love Trumps Hate, Love Trumps Hate” … etc). We sang many rounds of This Land is Your Land and a couple rounds of *Happy Birthday *to Barack Obama, who didn’t show up either
All of this was met with maybe 20 Trump supporters on the other side of the aisle. One guy kept holding up a sign that said, “Get a job, dirt bag.” And when he did people would randomly shout out what they did for a living. One other guy didn’t have much of a show outside of being about 400 pounds, covered in tats, wearing no shirt, who would just randomly preen and beat his chest like he was challenging 1,000 people to a fight. And then there was another loud guy, who I presumed was Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who kept shouting out, “Communism Sucks!” and then laugh like a loon as though he just got one over on all us rubes. That last guy was the one who worried me. Some chick was holding a sign that said, “Love is Strength, Hate is Weakness” and he was screaming in her face about, “that fucking bitch Hillary belongs in jail!” They had a cop right next to them and rail separating them, so I don’t think any one was in danger, but that fucker was rapidly coming unhinged.
The chant leaders on our side, for what that’s worth, were trying pretty hard to keep the chants civil, (“They go low, we go high”) even though some of the signs were borderline mean. But, eh, whaddayagonnado? The only people to run the gauntlet of protesters were the rally attendees and that was a non-event. Nobody milling in was doing or saying anything offensive to the protesters and the protesters didn’t really saying anything to them, just the ongoing chants.
After about an hour or so, I got bored when it was clear that Fat Don wasn’t going to make an appearance to the hoi-polloi, so I hoi-polloied it out of there. I’m not sure what he’s going on about inside, but the outside wasn’t really much to write home about. It was like protest-lite. But it was fun. I met some nice people and there was a metric shit-ton of hot little hippie chicks about too, so there’s that.
I’ma call him a doody-head.
Trump you are a doody-head.
There, now once he reads my post he is going to feel so bad that he will drop out of the race.
The news keeps saying there were 200 to 300 protesters there, not a 1,000. Seemed like more than that to me. The Old Port was pretty hopping. I think people were milling in and out of the crowd from the shops and pubs.
(I saw myself on the TeeVee (like behind some other protesters (for like a half a second (four hundred pound shirtless tat man and Hacksaw Jim Duggan got more air time (maybe I should have said I wanted to kill Hillary Clinton too?))))).
:eek:
That’s the LAST thing that needs to happen.
Donald! Don’t listen to him about you being a doody-head! You’re GOOD enough, you’re SMART enough, and DOGGONE it, people LIKE you!*
*To take the Republican Party down the toilet with you.
BTW, Jack Battty, your strategery is totally wrong for the situation. You need to turn yourself into a 2016 Presidential campaign trail version of a Deadhead. Take a four-month hiatus from your job, show up at Trump rally after Trump rally, wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap, waving a “The Silent Majority Supports Donald Trump” placard, until the advance people start to recognize you. Eventually, they’ll start letting you into the auditorium; and one day they’ll put you in the lineup to pose a direct question to the candidate (which they will hand to you on a 3 X 5 card).
Then, when you step up to the microphone, you ask: “So, Mr. Tinyfingers, when are you going to release your tax returns?”
How about something like, “Hey, Donald! I know why you threw that baby out–because his hands were bigger than yours!!”
Some snapshots I took with my Poloroid this afternoon.
Trump Rally Protesters
Did the Governor of Maine show up to introduce Trump? They’d make a heckuva team, those two.
Pix of the “metric shit-ton of hot little hippie chicks” or GTFO.
