Insult. Insult. Insult. Then, I love the Mexicans. I love the blacks. I love the women. I will win the Mexicans. I will win the blacks. I will win the women.

Two year olds have a more interesting dialogue than this.

per another post here today. So Faux is apparently going to call off its attack toy poodles.

This is getting very interesting in a 15-car-flaming-pileup-at-rush-hour sort of horrifying way.

But I do think he is looking to "turn a corner." But of course he offered nothing. He has nothing.

Trump's appeal to media is his novelty. He's the lead that bleeds. Say the same thing again and again and they chase a different squirrel.

they are going to deal with him going forward.

Bush was or did make a major speech today. He's talking about the things that presidential candidates should be talking about - but he will not get 1/10th of 1% of the coverage that Trump is getting by saying nothing.

How do you deal with that? They are befuddled. They've never had to deal with such a candidate like Trump and they are going to have to pave new ground - which campaign experts aren't used to doing.

Darrell Hammond is doing the voice over for SNL now that Pardo has passed. So we're likely to get some wonderful Trump sketches!
