This is a good article on why a party full of con-artists can't stop a con-artist:

I've been arguing that for a while now. Trump is not trying to get a temporary boost in publicity like he was back during the birth certificate shit many years ago. He seems to be in this for the long haul, and has been trying to cultivate a permanent following of right-wing nitwits that will support him financially for the rest of his life.

Hugh Hewitt living in the bubble within the bubble, ladies and gentlemen.
what is he going to sell though? books? he's likely going to lose a lot of money when he is through with his campaign. neither of those guys had big established businesses that are currently losing money thanks to their owners toxic image.
So glad I didn't help fund it.

The article cites this an example of how Fuckabee and others did it:

Yeah um...
Yes. Books, among other things like creating his own Right-wing channel (which he does plan on doing, calling it, unsurprisingly, "Trump T.V.") go on speaking tours and right-wing conventions, hawking all kinds of Republican paraphernalia, etc. Basically doing everything Palin has done since 2009, except presumably much better.
Did anyone really think Nadler was going to lose? The only interesting race is probably the NY3rd.
He can transition smoothly into a racist "pundit" with his own TV network now that the built-in audience has been captured, and give his kids the current crop of businesses.
Truly an inspiring story of the american dream.

Your a little behind, Stren has a pretty good lead.
EDIT: And now Suozzi does.
Well, yea. Who didn't see that coming? Of course Gillibrand has more pull in NY than Bernie.
i don't see these people abandoning fox news for trump tv. i doubt many companies would even carry the channel. if it ends up being some online tv channel then it will fail.
Thank gerd
I was working polls again today and there were a whopping 11 people who voted at the election district I manned. Nobody was young; I think the youngest that voted was 53 years old.
I thought that this kind of abysmal turnout would be bad for Nadler.
Yeah, it's pretty sad that not a single young person at my poll site, not even my ED, voted today.

So no Bernie Democrats won?
heh
heh
So is this what Sanders wants to do with his time from now on? Stumping for underdog primary candidates who usually end up losing, even with his support?
Feehery's doing that? He's a Republican, but he's generally not that bad.
Trump T.V. will be a channel for people who thinks Fox is too liberal. Look at how successful Breitbart has become.

Its bullshit they're wasting so much money for three primaries. I can understand two but there is no need for this one. Have one in August
This would make more sense to me without his (now forgiven?) $46m loan, because that seems like a tall order to make up in post-campaign scams, alongside the other damages this campaign is doing to his current businesses. Especially if it involves trying to launch some kind of conservative news outfit, even on other investors' dimes. As other articles have noted, even heavyweights like Oprah have struggled to launch TV networks, and she has way more friends than Trump.
I guess funneling campaign spending back into his associated business ventures helps a bit. Plus, I suppose this shoddy business plan would be perfectly fitting in with Trump's history.

Do they really think everybody is sitting scared waiting for generals and loudmouths to save them?
Depends on if Teachout counts, which I don't think she does since she was around before he was even a thing.

It turns out that most American Jews aren't actually single-issue Israel voters, and that the Democratic Party is more popular with them than Likud.

It looks like Trump will forgo getting any donations. The speech itself is pretty anti-GOP. One of the GOPs main bread and butter is furthering business interests, and Trump pretty much crapped all on that. He is just making it even harder to get the officials and donors to support him.
He is pretty narcissistic enough to think he can try to court the rest of the party and I bet that his campaign thinks so to. While, at the same time shitting on the party and screwing with their agenda. Either Trump will keep playing the GOP until the election or Trump will give up getting support from the party and sole focus on grassroots organization and gaining support just from voters. He might also try to get anti-trade liberals on his side.

So, the guy who is running for Congress in my district (who has no chance in hell of winning, to be fair) is actually using the phrase " We are being represented by AmeriCAN'Ts. It is time that we are represented by AmeriCANs" unironically.
: sigh :
Everything about his campaign is sad. And I feel sad.
