Love this...hits it out of the park in the first paragraph

They lined up early in the foul musk of the moist, fetid Orlando air, the smell of spring already having been murdered by the sharp heat of summer. The media descended on the parking lot of the civic center named for Amway, a pyramid scheme business that promises riches for all who believe with their very souls in the lies that the company sells. Reporters interviewed every Jesse, Joyce, Mary Jo, Skeeter, and Bubba willing to open their mouths. "Of course, we had to be here," they said, "this is white trash Coachella and I'm ready to shake my titties for my president." Both the men and women there appeared to be able to do that....

The city ought to leave this trash and put a big sign up saying "This is what you get from Trump and his crowd"

Or better yet, Make a "deal" with Amway. Your nbame's on the place, you clean it up. Betsy ought to be able to understand that.

Who shows up two days early, camps outside in tents waiting to see a politician. One guy was asked about trump's lies and he replied, "what lies, I don't recall trump every telling a lie!". One lady merely repeated what sounded like a prepared statement she had memorized word for word. To be honest, it looked like the whole thing was staged with human props, paid for by trump (or maybe the taxpayer). Hey, you think he stiffed orlando for the cleanup and security costs they way he did the 10 other cities he owes $841,000 to?

After the speech, the news media rolled their eyes and laughed, saying it was just Trump being Trump and that Democrats should think about how to win over those voters.


And that's disturbing. I hope the Democratic nominee doesn't find it necessary to win over those voters. I would much rather see them overcome.

I love the name Joyce. It was the name of one of the most beautiful, sexy women I've ever known. And she wouldn't be a Trumpster in a million years.

Unfortunate for the good Joyces of the world, it is a fertile demographic for Trumpsterism.

I get it now - they're the angry ones left behind by society. But voting for a semi-rich selfish bastard isn't going to help them, and since they wont listen, they're going to have to learn the hard way.
