    John McCain called Chelsea "the family dog." Not his finest moment.

    If the Harris folks don’t turn this into the outrage of the week they need to be fired.

    That’s just it. Working for dad’s campaign is one thing but FFS have we ever heard the guy speak? He could have a voice like Femke Bol’s for all we know! Do we have the name IRL of the Twitter poster making the claims (maybe we do, I dunno)? Seems to me dragging 10-year old Barron thru the mud is not the best use of Democrats time, especially when there is so much other fodder to fire.

    I had to stop after the second one because I could feel the aneurism coming on. What a thoroughly terrible human being.

    @OscarMadison I need you to unsheathe your slapping hand.

    Fair game for being treated and reported on in the same manner we treat Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr. He's an adult. He's now involved in the campaign. If he's going to wade into the politics, he can deal with the repercussions.

    I've seen the stuff on Twitter. I have no idea if any of it is true. I would guess it is not, and I would not be chasing after it.

    Deciding not to chase down Barron Trump rumors is like deciding to skip the French fries at a Brazilian steakhouse. You are missing nothing of importance and it’s impossible not to fill up on the rest of the bounty.

    All Adelson did was bankroll Trump.

    Miriam Adelson got her medal in 2018, so this is old-ish news.

    Gonna be inneresting (as they say it deep in the hearta') how this dynamic works. Miriam bought a controlling interest in the Dallas Mavericks from Mark Cuban last year and wants legalized gambling in Texas. The Okie Native Americans will fight this tooth and nail for obvious reasons. We'll see where the chips fall. So to speak. :)

    The gambling issue could be a wedge that fractures the vaunted GOP in the Lone Star State. Thought school vouchers would be it, but Gov. Tort Ladder Puller might've successfully primaried enough opponents to get that across the finish line.

    Adelson was the trigger because she introduced him at the event tonight, and of course he went on a tangent that led to the comments

    Nancy Mace is very pretty, publicity mad and utterly shameless. I can’t believe that she wasn’t short listed for VP.

    Miriam Adelson got the Medal of Freedom because she gave a lot of money to Trump. But after Rush, the award has been devalued so much it barely matters.

    When Mace said she'd say Harris' name however she wants, someone in the panel should have replied, "OK, Nanky Face, you do you."

    Nancy Mace is an attention seeking asshole playing to the asshole base. And I think this is the shit most people are tired of.

    Mispronouncing someone’s name isn’t a giant deal. My wife accidentally mispronounces “Kamala” a lot. And she’s first in line to vote for her.

    What Mace did there is just being an asshole for asshole’s sake. And winning over nobody who doesn’t already love trump.
