The 2016 GOP convention is a dumpster. Republican: Sure, some are avoiding our convention this year, but we will have no trouble filling it. Or setting it on fire.
I’ve been saying this for months, and I’m standing by it. Don the Con can’t possibly tolerate being a yuuge loser, so here’s what I bet will happen. At just the right moment, perhaps just after he’s finally been nominated at the Trumpublican convention, and after he’s been thoroughly dissed by much of the GOTP establishment, tRump’s “acceptance” speech will simply be “Ha! Ha! I’m a winner and you’re all a sorry bunch of losers! You’ve been punked! I’m outta here!” Then he’ll jump in his helicopter and watch in the rear view mirror as the convention and the whole revolting (in every sense of the word) TeapubliKlan Party goes up in flames. It would be a master stroke on his part, and I believe him to be capable of it. Moreover, it would be a long time before the TrumperNutters trusted another demagogue. And even though he’d have to fortify his properties, The Don would surely go down in history like no other, his reputation, such as it is, in some measure restored. Oh, and Hillary would owe him some yuuge favors, excellent favors, the best. Win-win for Herr Drumpf and Hillary, not so much for me and thee.
The Republican primary was in the dumpster with their hate speech spewed, each trying to be more racist than the other. Their infantile comparisons of body parts, the disgusting attitudes towards women. Now they plan to turn over that dumpster and try to convince the rest of us the biggest piece of trash they could find should be running our country.
From today’s Kansas City Star, about Trump’s brain-dead populist nonsense (this time about the economy instead of bigotry, for a change):Many economists have dismissed Trump’s promise to immediately restore manufacturing jobs as dubious at best, given the impact of automation and the many years it typically takes to negotiate trade agreements.
While renegotiating tougher deals with America’s foreign trading partners might help some businesses, manufacturing as a share of total U.S. jobs has been slipping for several decades. The number of such jobs has risen slightly since the end of the Great Recession, but the introduction of robotics and access to cheaper foreign markets has reduced U.S. factory employment to a total last seen around 1941.
Indeed, the National Association of Manufacturers slammed Trump’s logic on Tuesday, with the organization’s president, Jay Timmons, writing on Twitter: “@realDonaldTrump you have it backward. Trade is GOOD for #mfg workers & #jobs. Let’s #MakeAmericaTradeAgain.”
In making his case for a new approach to trade, Trump recounted economic policies in place at the founding of the country — a time when goods traveled by horseback and schooner, the invention of the telegraph was still decades away and the advances of the Internet and broadband communication hardly imaginable.
Both parties have the worst people in charge.To succeed in politics you have to be a psychopath, and the election is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
When you scour the earth for the scummiest scum that ever scummed to be your supporters, don’t complain when you get scum down your collar. You Republican voters asked for it.
And ALL the anti-Trump protesters should STAY AWAY! DON’T give them the chance to fall on their “anti” propaganda and “outside agitators” mindset. Let them have their little TEA party, and slink off to sulk when no one cares.
