Trump - the Town Hall, the Gibberish, the LIES

[melvin_udall]

If you didn't watch the Trump part of the Town Hall last night, I highly recommend doing so. Watching it was like watching a Christopher Guest mockumentary (A Mighty Wind, Best in Show) pretending to be a Presidential campaign. Trump didn't offer a word salad. He offered a word smorgasbord. To say he couldn't stay on topic is like saying sharks

We should all begin saying: "Madam President Hillary Clinton" starting right now. At this point, I don't see any way out. If The Donald™ goes into the convention with less than the magic number of delegates, and someone else gets the nomm, the Trumpsters are going to sit this one out, or vote third party. Hillary wins. Or Trump gets the nomm, and shit like this comes out during the campaign proper: Hillary wins.

Maybe Hillary gets indicted, or the FBI recommends indictment and Lucemon's DoJ refuses, the FBI director and a whole slew of agents resign. Hillary goes into the Dem convention damaged goods. Then we get a President Sanders or a President Biden. Same end results.

More and more, it looks like this was the plan from the get-go. Hillary in effect suspends her Ought 8 campaign in exchange for plum appointments in Lucemon's misadministration and the promise of being handed the presidency in 2016. The RNC certainly looked to be doing this, first by offering up an unelectable squish like the Jebber™, and now with The Donald™ who was either a stalking horse, or a conveniently useful idiot.

Now to some policy. Among the tsunami of ignorance Trump drooled out last night in between endless "excuse me" of faux indignation...
Trump On Top Three Functions Of Federal Government: ‘Security,’ Health Care,’ And ‘Education’

Even Lucemon himself knew better than that. What will be the Donald™'s "57 states" moment? You know it's coming, and the Leftstream media isn't gonna be covering his ass.

Looks like the Republicans are hell-bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.

I wish I could disagree with you.

One possible out: The donald doesn't get 1237. Brokered convention, kasich gets the nomm. The donald runs third party.

The 3 candidates *split* the vote, 33,33,33. Since no one got a majority of the US electoral college, the house elects prez, and the senate elects vice. Kasich it is.

Not much better than either of the other 2, but it's an option.

Crazy world isn't it?

[melvin_udall]

I'm pretty sure I'd rather have Hillary than Kasich. It's roughly the same without the GOP label on it.

[ford_prefect42]

I am inclined to agree. However, it's genuinely something *different*, in that the process is wildly unorthodox.

True. We're having the only situation possible that can get a Dem (and the worst one at that) after eight terrible years of Obama.

Yep. What a coincidence
