Am I the only one delighted the Dems' sit-in stole Donald's thunder?

The beautiful coordinated effort by the House Dems and their supporters make his little speech seem petty and absurd.

I'm feeling good about our side right now.

it was petty and absurd. His speech will be buried well below news about the sit-in. I'm willing to bet, any news about Trump's speech will begin with: "Today, Donald Trump gave a lengthy speech attacking his Democratic opponent for the Presidency. Fact checkers around the country condemned that speech as packed with erroneous information. More news after these commercials."

Hopefully, it will irritate him enough to make another ready, fire, aim at his foot move in the near future.

about "Donald's thunder" is Donald! He's gotten enough free media for ten presidential campaigns.

Always a good time to do good things, but this was a particularly well chosen time. He's the best.

And it's a thing of beauty to have a news cycle with little to no Donald for a change. WooHoo!
