Mark Penn, master of the bleedin' obvious. I'm sure no one in Trump's circle ever thought of getting him to fake 'looking presidential' in order to distract 'the base' from his latest scandal.

It's a classic move from the GOP playbook - and as predictable as the sunrise. What they haven't figured out yet is that selling out our national security in exchange for personal gain isn't as easily distracted from as paying off a porn star, or dismissing the latest under-the-bus victim as a disgruntled, lying crackpot.

No doubt they're paying Penn extremely well for his 'expertise', because Republicans have a penchant for wasting money on snake-oil salesmen - in fact, they actually elected one.

More photo-ops worked for Clinton because he wasn’t shoving his image and opinions down our throats 24/7 like Trump is. Trump is overexposed, more Trump won’t help. People need less Trump.
