the ones that don't agree with trump on white nationalism stuff are probably true believers in other aspects of american conservatism and feel they must do what they can to advocate for those ideas.
or, just can't imagine doing anything else with their time after decades and would view retirement as analogous to death.

Imagine Trump bringing this brand of pettiness to the global stage.

They already have. Fox is ignoring it for the most part. Drudge is not only ignoring it, they are promoting a profile of Ryan's primary challenger. Red State is burning with rage but they've always hated Trump.

The question now is... who will play Trump in the inevitable HBO movie? Game Change was so good.
No one remembers the loser. How often is George Wallace brought up in History books?
I can see it now. Trump comes out for his concession speech, he looks upset and angry. He is about to go on a rampage accusing the Clinton campaign of wanton slander and foul play. The election was rigged! You can see it all in his face. But when he gets to the podium, he smirks and starts laughing. Then the fated words that will echo across generations will come...

More like go back inside and let the Brinkman crew finish up.
Perhaps a bad example.
Everything that is happening week after week does play into those stupid conspiracy theories that Trump was sent in to sabotage the party. It's crazy.
Repetition makes things more memorable, and familiarity makes things more believable. Confidence also makes things more believable, and emphatic restatement is a show of confidence.
Trump is really good at this act. His demeanor is a huge part of why people will say that he "tells it like it is", regardless of what he's actually saying.
Well he's singlehandedly wrecked the Republican Party. Pretty big win for democrats regardless.
Norm McDonald in a fat suit.
After Hillary walks on stage, gives her victory speech, this theme will start playing.

Given all that's happened in a couple day I can't even imagine what his first week in office would be like.

TBF no potential loser has rocked the boat quite like trump has. If for nothing else he'll be remembered for the envitable shift in the GOP and racial politics

If this happened, would it be the greatest troll that mankind has ever seen?
For the most part, I hated The Newsroom. It's still tragic that we'll never get to see how The Newsroom would have handled this entire thing. I'm unsure if it would have elevated the show or made it even more ridiculous, but it would have been entertaining.
It would, but his narcissism and thin-skin are consistent with his personality over the decades.

This drives me crazy. But it's a way to talk a lot about noting. Or maybe he just like his own damn voice that much.

Nah. Can't do that because it'd be a strong driving force to unify what was just broken. He'd need to go in on the establishment not really supporting him and that being his reason for losing.
As much as I'd LOVE to see it happen, it'd be better to just continue the act and fade away.

Lots? Between provoking a fight with the federal government over integration, splitting the democratic party, nearly getting assassinated and then coming back to be elected governor WITH the support of blacks Wallace is one of the most fascinating figures of the 20th century.

Remember he did the same thing with John Oliver, claiming Oliver/HBO had begged him to come on the show before they ran that "hit piece" on him. This is what he does, habitually.

It comes from having a limited vocabulary (5th grade level) and being unable to articulate.

What everyone is forgetting is that Donald Trump is actually in the WWF Hall of Fame

Yes, definitely.
And this is probably why it'll never happen. Trump is a shallow, weak little manchild who is WAY too full of himself to play the fool for even a second, much less play the long con.

Why do people keep entertaining the idea that Trump is some sort of secret Democrat when all the information we've had since this campaign has started (and beforehand, if you were paying attention) points to the fact that he's just a gigantic piece of shit?

That post made me think about this picture but way more orange instead of yellow.
Also I know I'm not helping stop this nightmare image that is now in people's minds.

Shit is glorious.
She is so down vapid, then again she is a Trump surrogate so I guess it is expected.

Trump will be in every political science textbook for the exact opposite of how to run a modern campaign in the same way that Obama's campaign revolutionized modern campaigning.
When she gives that fake-ass smile she looks like a robot who's ready to short-circuit.
EDIT: apparently Obamacare killed millions of jobs. Good insight Katrina.
Trump told Washington Post that Paul Ryan sought his endorsement. Ryan's office says nope.

Johnny Depp did a great job as him in the FunnyOrDie short movie.

I love the excuse, he doesn't get involved in primaries. Ludicrous, he is getting involved by making positive statements about one candidate and not of another. I love you Katrina.
Calling someone a hero or honoring them is not an apology you twit. Oh she mad.

Does Trump not think anyone is going to check these things or does he not care
He has a long history of being a pathological liar. He literally cannot help himself.

The latter, in this case. This hurts Ryan with his supporters in the primary, just like the nod to Nehlen, and he knows it.
