'Tis a shame he simply didn't undo his endorsement.

Even that is up for debate. He already started out a rich man, subsidised by dad, pulled out of the shit he created by dad and turned into dad's heir later on. Noone can really say how much he really made under his own steam. He claims to be a billionaire, but the jury's still out on that.

He's very well off, that's for sure. But what part his own exploits played in his fortune is anyone's guess.

I was thinking "use" would be a better word than "make", in Trump's case.

Imagine the defections from the Trump camp if the democratic nominee had 50% less historically averaged negative polling since 1992.

Quote:Trump Campaign Fires Its Virginia State Chair After RNC Protest

Quote:Could this stupid election get any stupider? With Trump now the head of the Republican Party? Well of course it could!
A Virginia blogger described Corey Stewart like this, upon hearing the news:

Quote:Couldn’t have happened to a nastier guy than Corey Stewart the immigrant-bashing, demagogic thug of Prince William County and the (former) Virginia State Director for neo-fascist Donald Trump.

Apparently Stewart was repeatedly warned what would happen if he went ahead with the protest, but didn't care. There are rumors he wants to run for Governor in 2017, and was intent on making a name for himself. He did, but at Trump's expense. Hence, he got canned.

Apparently one of the signs at this protest said "Better to grab a pussy than be one."

Ah, The Deplorables.  'Murrica's answer to the Brown Shirts.

That's because a significant slice of his support comes from fundamentalist Christians who will support anyone the Republicans put up (or would before, lol).

You know, I almost feel sorry for the evangelists.

Remember ex-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich? Imagine an alternate reality where he avoided prison and was the 2016 Democratic nominee. We liberals want the Supreme Court so bad. Voting for Blagojevich so we could get it wouldn't require holding our nose. It would require holding the ballot up against your back and punching it by stabbing yourself through the gut. That's the position the evangelists are in.

Like I said, I almost feel sorry for them.

Grump has dug his own hole but the problem is, he won't go away after Mrs. Clinton thrashes him in the election on November 8.
No, he'll sue everyone in the country and probably Vlady Putin too and we'll have to hear him banging on for years about Mrs. Clinton, just like he did with the whole Obama born in Kenya thing, and how the election was "rigged"...until he runs again in 2020.

Reminds me a bit of Mass Effect and that Salarian captain constantly saying "Hold the Line".

Toast. Toast and eggs, with a little butter and hot sauce.

He ain't gonna run again. He's going walk to the bank on this campaign, and never subject himself to this again.

Game over for republicans who stood by and let Trump happen. The brand is tarnished and no one is getting out alive. John Oliver plays Carrie making sure the entire party burns in that gymnasium.
