Interesting perspective. Never thought of that.

The other thing I forgot to bring up in my previous post has to do with the GOP in general. Much has been said about how Trump has hijacked the party and that everyone has to "fall in line" if they want to win the General. In his mind that would make sense.....if he was a person worth supporting. He uses the threat of the 15 million voters he brought in during the Primary as his 'Trump Card' to strong-arm other Republican Governors, Senators, House Speaker, etc....to back him, or there will be "riots" at the convention. The fact that most (for awhile) were reluctantly endorsing their Republican presumptive Nominee never made any sense to me. Sure, he brought in 15 million, but last I checked, the minimum he would need in the General is in the neighborhood of 65 million. Now factor in his unfavorable's and you are left scratching your head wondering how he is able to constantly threaten the GOP. So, why are all the big Republicans protesting that they are "handcuffed" into backing him when the numbers don't favor a Republican win in November?

Do the f*cking math Paul Ryan. Look at it from the outside and you will see that there is no way Trump is going to win. Period. Just with this knowledge and only this should have snapped them out of their fog that they could and should dump him and refuse to vote for him in the first round. They need to look at this as a lost cause. Embracing this inevitable outcome should free them to finally pull the plug on him in spite of his "threats". Nominate someone else. Who that should be is irrelevant because it's already a loss anyway. They kill and embarass Trump on the grandest stage, get their White Knight and hope for the best and pull out a miracle. Remember, the party needs to just chuck those 15 million and try to appeal to those that never voted during the primary. Stop letting Trump, who has ZERO power from dragging you down when you still have a chance to cut him off at the knees.

All this is for naught anyway since he will decline and Romney (in spite of his "protesting" the last 6 months) will be dropped in as their White Knight as he gladly accepts the nomination.

He has no choice but to accept the nomination. He can't spearhead the Never Trump movement and then not step up to the plate, especially since they haven't been able to find anyone willing to do it thus far. Getting a lesser name nominee starts them off in a huge hole financially. Romney has name recognition and can lock up those big donors right out of the gate. You get Joe Schmo and I don't see that many people writing big checks for an unknown. Not that tough. He would only have to slug it out for 5 months instead of a year and a half.

Trump News will go bankrupt quick.

^^This^^

As soon as you dropped the news about his "Empire", I started laughing. There is no way this succeeds. He will just be a slightly more famous version of Alex Jones. Only with shittier hair.

A talk show clip, but still a very eye-opening look at who Trump thinks he is vs who he actually is.

All those speeches, 45 minutes each, all about ONE problem each, and I guarantee if you compiled the whole thing and sifted through it all, there wouldn't be one line of common sense or an actual, sensible proposal.

It to little, too late. While I whole heartedly we need something different than this 2 party system, it just needed to happen earlier. We kind of reintroduced it with Sanders, and somewhat Trump. At the very least, people are thinking about it.

But ya know, just thinking about more, ANYTHING can happen. We still have lots of time for more twists and turns.

Wow, just.....wow! I just heard that Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch both met in secret on his plane. Naturally Lynch is claiming it was all "innocent" and has come out saying "we never talked about Hillary's email issues. All we talked about was about our grand kids". Bullsh*t!  Even if that were true (I don't believe it one bit mind you), but what they talked about is irrelevant in the eyes of public perception. Both knew that this meeting would get out and people would automatically start in with their conspiracy theories and rightly so. Everyone now sees the impropriety of this. The fact that it was "held in secret" is the first tip off that both knew exactly what they were doing and what the public would invariably think of it. She needs to recuse herself from her case immediately because if the FBI does in fact request that Clinton be indicted and Lynch refuses, people, if they aren't already aware of it now, will be crying "rigged system". Just.....wow.
