we wuz had.

By some media accounts, The Great Orange Hairpiece has been under the control of his handlers and has deliberately kept a low profile. By low profile (Trumpian standards) this means:

a. Trump demands that Ruth Bader Ginsburg be removed from the Supreme Court because she dissed Teh Donald.

b. Trump claims that he saw somewhen, somewhere, somehow, a call for a moment of silence for the slain gunman in Dallas.

c. Hillary created ISIS.

d. Trump claims that he is the Law and Order candidate, mimicking Nixon from years past.

e. To top it off, the man who spearheaded the Birther conspiracy against Obama, now claims that Obama has made race relations worse in the country.

And that was just this week, folks.

Today, the news broke that Trump will be announcing his running mate on Friday. While it seems to be good news for that walking, talking mindless robot from Indiana, Mike Pence, (who must announce his candidacy for re-election as governor of Indiana by Friday) I do not believe that Trump will choose him.

Rather, just like he played several GOP candidates (Chrissie Christie, for one) and got them to lick his boots in public, I think Trump is playing Pence and the media. Again. He is going to choose someone so crazy, so bizarre as a choice, so unsuitable, that the GOP will have no option but to boot him out of the convention. His daughter? His son? Marla Maples? Ivana?

Whoever his choice will be, it will be a guaranteed media splash, another opportunity for Trump to rub it in the faces of everyone.

Trump is not running for president. He is running for Trump. I do not believe he will last out the month as a candidate.

be booted out of the GOP, as suggested, that may not work. Since they have gone all the way deep right wing with their platform, a racist like Duke would not phase them in the least.

That's just crazy. Who decided to give them lifetime jobs? We need to be able to fire them at will, just like I did my employees. I know! I'll cut their salaries to zero!
