Kinda funny/sad/disturbing that all anyone was doing during Trump's speech last night

was hoping he did or didn't say something racist. I watched the speech and don't even remember a word the dude said. I was just hoping he'd stick his foot in even deeper. I don't think his supporters heard anything either. They were just hoping he didn't stick his foot in any deeper.

This is one of the two candidates for president of the US. A guy for whom not saying something racist in a 15 minute speech is a big win.

WTF.

The Powers That Be can keep him reading speeches. He hates doing that and he says "their boring". So maybe someone will set him off...

and trying-to-be-normal Trump is just an awkward not too bright guy. Racist Trump can't win the general, but boring Trump can't either. But those are the only two Trumps.

9. You're totally right. By Trump standards that was "mild". Just shows how far into the abyss we are.

MSRNC gave him all that uninterrupted live time just to bloviate.

Almost as if he had someting meaningful to say. They should be
