Isaac Keeps Trump From RNC Role, Proving Pat Robertson Right–God Speaks Via Weather




For all doubters, it appears God has spoken.

As recently as Saturday afternoon, Trump was scheduled to collect the Sarasota Republican Party’s Statesman of the Year award and then swoop down to Tampa for a day of wall-to-wall media interviews, meetings with top donors to Mitt Romney’s campaign and then, apparently per the presidential candidate’s request, a “surprise” publicity stunt on the convention floor. But these plans went by the wayside after convention officials canceled Monday’s events because of Tropical Storm Isaac, which is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane.

The cancellation of appearances by the Statesman of the Year came as a relief to some Republicans in the convention center on Sunday afternoon, especially given Romney’s joke that “no one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate” at a campaign stop last week in Michigan…

“It’s a blessing,” Pete Mackin, an alternate delegate from that state, said of Trump’s absence.

The idea that ANYONE would consider Donald Friggin' Trump a "statesman", let alone "statesman of the year" is beyond comical. That's like calling Attila the Hun "humanitarian of the year".

Until smitten by God, Trump was scheduled to collect the Sarasota repubs birther-Salesman of the Year award. Typo fixed!
