Can someone explain how Bill Krystal thought Trump had a good day?

Maybe I am so partisan that I can only see this day as another Trump klusterfuck. Apparently, some saw it differently. Including Krystal, who hates Trump.

I don't get it.

I couldn't believe it -- wanted to tell him he should commune with the ghosts of his grandparents.

But the new meme "Donald P. Trump 2016" means his middle name got changed to Pinata.


When your a presidential candidate and the world's best known pinata, plus your pinata sells out, it is not a good day.

lectern with the President of another country, and he wasn't foaming at the mouth (as long as those targeted don't pay attention to the context, which they predictably won't).

He even made a point to say that it's only because he (Trump) has set the bar so INCREDIBLY low that this is possible, giving him credit for doing such a great job at keeping the expectations so low.

That being said, fuck the entire PNAC crowd forever.

Ann Coulter is sexually excited by the "hardening" and apparently pleasuring herself to that Hitler2.0 speech.

They cannot deviate from their talking points, it's why they sound eerily alike.

Stoking fear and anger about invading outsiders is a proven political winner. Willie Horton ads worked. Hitler got big enthusiastic crowds. Protestants won many elections scapegoating Papists (no Irish allowed).
