The Trump-Thing Further Elevates Political Discourse...

[Crackpot]

I didn't say persuadable voters I said Bernie supporters

I don't think Trumpty is doing himself any favors by dumping on George W. Bush in South Carolina...The former President has a 77% approval rating among SC Republicans...

But then this is the guy who told his followers right to their faces that they were so brain-dead that they'd still vote for him if he shot somebody in the street, and didn't lose much support so who knows?

I really wish that Trumpster Dumpster would make good on his blackmail threat to haul Cruz into court over his citizenship status. (As an opponent, he may very well have standing.) I can't think of a better way to drive down both their poll numbers then for them to get embroiled in a nobody-gives-a-shit legal battle sideshow....

But unfortunately Trump is probably smart enough to realize this, so he probably wont do it...

Ol' George gave a pretty good speech at a rally for his brother in Charleston earlier today...

Here's part of what he said:

"These are tough times and I know that Americans are angry, but we do not need someone in the Oval Office who mirrors and inflames our anger and our frustrations," the former president said.

Real strength, he said, means facing challenges and prevailing.

"Strength is not empty rhetoric. It is not bluster. It is not theatrics. Real strength comes from integrity and character. And in my experience, the strongest person isn't usually the loudest person in the room," George W. Bush said.
