Trump wasn't just mocking Carson with his belt buckle

I've been around enough juvenile trash talking to know that Trump was sending a clear and direct message to Dr. Ben Carson. He wasn't mocking Carson, he was telling him what to do. Directly, TO him, ifyouknowwhatImean

Hey, maybe those wild conspiracy theories about Trump only doing this to blow up the GOP weren't that far off.

In any case, add that flipped out performance to "wages are too high" in a normal world and his campaign would be done. But they aren't operating in a normal world.

There's never been an electoral cycle that's looked more like a JV basketball game.

and that's exactly what this is getting to be.

If the Dem nominee "slips on a banana peel" (couple of threads on that) one of these bozos is going to be standing there on the ballot. Scary.

because that's where I saw it.

*I* know what he meant by that. Wow this going downhill fast. We have 361 days until Election Day?

seeing the Donald reach for his belt and scared he was going to expose some skin was just too frightening. Really, it was literally "below the belt."

Eye bleach, please...

harmless flirting.

Strange, takes one of the richest men in the country to demonstrate just how low in the gutter the Repub brand has sunk.
