with him since IOWA!

Yet too many of his fans believe his lies and think Hillary's worse.

Wish they all were as smart as he is with respect to who drumpf is.

Mahalo, Jamaal!

Oct 2016

In that show, for the past half-season they've been featuring a character running for President who looks and acts just like Donald Trump.

He doesn't really want to win, so he begins talking as outlandish and outrageous as possible, but he keeps winning and people keep adding to his popularity.

Now, in this latest episode, he finally 'goes too far' by insulting women in the most vile ways possible. Finally his poll numbers fall off a cliff.

Then, when his staff tells him a huge crowd of angry supporters are waiting for him outside campaign HQ, he goes outside to try to calm them down.

Instead, they chase him through the streets with pitchforks and power tools.

How intelligent could this guy be if he supported tRump in the beginning? I wpnder why he finally turned tail on tRump, was his audience dwindling? No SANE person could possibly think tRump is qualified to be President. He belongs in a padded room.

to win the election -- it's not that Bob is upset that Trump is a fucked-up person, it's the fact that Trump is so blatant about his fuckery that he's gonna lose.

He'll rail at Donald, he might even mildly chide himself, but he won't consider that people who were right about Trump from the get-go might be more on the ball than he is about other things too.

We are supposed to sympathize? Where were they a year ago? What should have been obvious to them all seems to have been only recently revealed to them. What took them so long?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we didn't have to face JEB or Kasich, someone the right wing media could have touted as their shining hero against a candidate that Fox Noise would have labeled "Crooked Hillary" if Trump had not done so. Then we would have had real fight on our hands, and there would have been little to no chance of taking the Senate back, much less the House. Trump's candidacy, plus the right wing's failure to understand the fork they were sticking in their own eye by nominating him, was the one thing that was going hand us our golden opportunity to reshape the Supreme Court and pass a few regulations that would help a few areas that need it, such as women's rights and environmental issues--areas that a Republican president wouldn't even admit are issues.

It is up to the people who supported him to own up to the fact that there is something within themselves that respond to a thug like Trump.
There were numerous times when those same people could have disavowed Trump for his hate and they did not.
It is on them for supporting this man.
