Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

What was second prize -- a hundred bags?

 

I think the GOP Convention is going to be a Rio Olympics-sized shitshow.

The media will go overboard on the protests going on outside, but inside the convention, the two nights dominated by Trump are going to be fascinating to watch. To see thousands of Angry Old White Males and the women who love them decked out in their Patriotic tomfoolery, cheering loudly for a known racist, misogynist buffoon as he turns their event into an infomercial for Brand Trump, wanders incoherently through his greatest hits, all the while making the old guard cringe as he ties them to his hip...this is going to make for a wonderful Democratic Campaign 2016 commercial in every Congressional district in the land.

 

Mr. Pitts agrees with me.

It's gonna be four, count 'em four nights of Trump, since nobody else wants to speak. Gonna make those Fidel multi-hour rants of the '60s look like nothing.

 

What are the odds that they change the rules still and take this from him?

 

He's proposing to do the exact same thing Bill Clinton did in '96.

 

I'll give you 100-1.

 

It looks like Trump has received somewhat of an "Orlando Bounce." The latest poll released has him trailing just 51-49:

I know, right? It's so obvious. He had clearly pledged allegiance to ISIS ... And al Qaeda ... And Hezbolla... And ??? He was a fucking nut job looking for justification for this act.

 

Also, you really should take a break from Twitter, YF. Or filter out some of the feeds you follow.

 

Terrorist: I pledge my allegiance to ISIS & commit this act in their name.

NPR, Hannah Allam, & BDC99: No, that can't be why he did it. Let's produce a counter narrative.

 

The guy didn't know the difference between Shia and Sunni radical groups. He was a nut job who happened to be Muslim.
