"Sprinkles" and remembering the Bundy's at Malheur

Remember during the long cold winter when we mocked the Bundy lead takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge? The jokes wrote themselves. A bunch of clueless knuckledraggers set off on a ill planned, hubris fueled voyage of absurdity that ended badly.

Well let's compare these Prairie Patriots to the well heeled educated group running the Trump campaign. The Bundy's' operation took in stragglers who immediately ascended in the hierarchy to positions of importance. The Trump campaign is a tightly controlled innercircle that feeds every will and whim of one person. This is about the only real difference.

Well there is the education. Trump's group includes his kids (the one he likes) and a supposed international PR mastermind. Educated at prep schools like Choate and The Hill School, Penn's Wharton school of Business (3), and Georgetown (2) including Mannaforte's law degree.

The results appear to be the same for both groups. So while the "Truman Show" Trump campaign is running let's have some FUN with them.

Like the "plastic items" shipped to the Bundy crowd let's start sending Trump offices (if you can find one in your area) boxes of sprinkles with a note that says "Sprinkles are for winners".

Here is the ad for those who don't get the reference.
