Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

The Donald storms into the room. He is looking very angry, and he is cursing out loud.

"Your fucking doctor has ruined me!" he screams.

The Donald flings Ivana down onto the bed. Then he pins back her arms and grabs her by the hair. The part of her head he is grabbing corresponds to the spot on his head where the scalp reduction operation had been done. The Donald starts ripping out Ivana's hair by the handful, as if he is trying to make her feel the same kind of pain that he is feeling.

Ivana starts crying and screaming. The entire bed is being covered with strands of her golden locks. But The Donald is not finished. He rips off her clothes and unzips his pants. Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months.

Ivana is terrified. This is not lovemaking. This is not romantic sex. It is a violent assault. She later describes what The Donald is doing to her in no uncertain terms. According to the versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, "He raped me."

 

I would say that it's more likely than not that Trump is going to win the presidency, at this point. He has spent decades building his brand as emblematic of success, and now he cashes in. Both candidates bring a considerable amount of baggage to the table, but he's exciting, charismatic, and, in large part, post-partisan. Tough to see her beating him.

 

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

 

I'm not being sarcastic. As we sit today, he's definitely the front-runner.

 

People don't like her. I'll leave it to the academics and activists to parse out why. But they don't.

 

You can probably still get 2-1 on Trump.

 

Not quite. +150 on my site, so 3-2.

 

So who is going to be Trump's VP selection? Kasich or Christie?

 

I think it's becoming increasingly likely that he picks Newt.

He has the skill set Trump needs, appeals to conservatives, and -- perhaps most importantly -- is the most accomplished guy willing to take the job.

 

That's right. He's +125 in the markets. Closest is Bob Corker at +1000. Kasich and Christie are +1500. I want it to be Palin for entertainment value.

 

Newt will bring some entertainment value of his own.

 

Ken Starr has flipped, now likes Bill Clinton, suck it conservatives, etc.

Kenneth Starr, Who Tried to Bury Bill Clinton, Now Only Praises Him

(Art Briels appreciates Starr's newfound faith in the inherent goodness of people, I suspect.)
