trump may actually be a political genius

Dammit

Nobody covered the Dem races or Kasichs potential win in VT

It was designed to make the media focus on him instead of anyone else. As usual, it worked

From the fake gilt walls of a gaudy palace to the surgically altered cheerleaders in the crowd to the orange coke head on the stage and his pet governor. Phony phony phony.

Trump really can roll over everyone.

He's like a cluster of thunderstorms that grows unpredicted into a Cat 5 hurricane.

probably. Of a genuinely dangerous, anti-government, anti-liberalism, anti-progressivism crew, Trump is the potential candidate who scares them terribly.

"I can really understand how he gets stupid people to vote for him."

And it wasn't a joke. It was dead serious. He's very persuasive. I'm getting scared too.

The presser made him sound like a very troubling demagogue, not unlike the history's most reviled demagogues.

But I'm trying not to curse.

It's a huge pile of it. And just how Dem administrations take office and have to roll up their sleeves and start fixing repuke messes, here comes the shambles they've made of their party. We're going to have roll up our sleeves higher and open our wallets even wider to rid them of the monster they created.

I've been scared ever since Trump announced. Now I'm pissed off. This could be much harder than I ever imagined. That presser tonight .... I can't even begin. I think I'll go grab some cloth and sew something. Imagine wide open spaces. Let go a little before gearing up for the fight ahead.

the planned explosion in the DOD budget, how he's going to force Mexico to pay for the fookin wall, just grandiose blathering.

Yeah, CChristie looks like Donald knows where CC buried his enemies. He looks beaten down, hard.

And the room itself -- OMG. Talk about lack of personality. The room says, "Look at how freaking rich I am, and I still can't hire a decent decorator."
