Maybe we should just elect Trump president

file this under: if we say it enough times, people will believe it's true (even though it's not)


Antonio Sabato Jr., an actor who spoke the first night of the Republican National Convention, told ABC News after his speech that Obama is "absolutely" a Muslim.

"I don't believe the guy is a Christian," Sabato said. "He has never talked about Jesus Christ once."

"We had a Muslim president for seven and half years," Sabato added.

Have you all seen the one from Municipal Waste?

the great thing about the trump campaign is just when you think they've hit rock bottom, you're wrong.

before her speech last night, melania was interviewed on trump's plane and said that she had written the speech herself with as little help as possible (go to 1:10).

24 hours later, sh*t hits the fan re: plagiarism, and the trump campaign posts this - "team of writers."

and remember that part about being wrong about hitting bottom?  Manafort blames hillary!

i don't expect this to be the last of this… can't wait!
Several people pointed on twitter that the plagiarism claim is what's going to dominate today's news cycle and not the other crazy stuff being said last night..

yup, like King's white supremacist statement…

great diversionary tactic! 
this feels like the Reagan era, all over again.  I am sure there is this underground post punk/classic rock/edm/blues/country/hiphop movement going on in music, that I have no clue about, that in twenty years, will be seen as revolutionary.
The Wørd: Trumpiness

the re-emergence of classic colbert almost makes this whole sh*t-show worthwhile. almost.

It really is too bad because we should be talking about the RickRoll.

As a speech writer, I had to tip my cap.  Then throw up in it.

Donald Trump?s 60 Minutes interview left me wondering if he even wants to be president

"Trump is getting obvious questions, and he?s not even pretending to have answers. It?s like he?s not even trying."

(given that his supporters might not even care what he says, why would he bother trying…)
I could honestly see him pull out of the race in October if he's down 5+ points and use the excuse he didn't want to put his family through "crooked Hillary's character attacks" or some bull. He's pure egotism; I don't honestly believe he actively wants to be President of the US.

agreed…this is all brand promotion…at the expense of the GOP party

I think he would like to be elected President. I don't think he actually wants to be President. I highly suspect his narcissism will not actually allow him to lose an election.
