Am I the Only One to Get it About Trump's Endorsements? [View all]

How is it that Trump endorsing GOP candidates for election or re-election is such a big deal? Isn't he supposed to do that? Isn't every major party candidate supposed to do that? How's this reading off a card in a mechanical way such a big deal? It looks like a "hostage statement" to me.

How is it a sign of unity that Trump goes to Pennsylvania and Toomey is mowing his lawn that day and can't appear with his party's nominee? How is it a sign of unity when Trump goes to Ohio and Kasich and Portman are both too busy grocery shopping to appear on stage with Trump? How is it unity when Trump goes to New Hampshire on the same exact day that Kelly Ayotte washes her hair? How is it unity when Trump goes to a well publicized event in Wisconsin and Governor Walker, Speaker Ryan and Senator Johnson just happen to have that date fall on their poker night?

This false bullshit story of party unity rings hollow when no Republican of any stature will be caught dead on the same stage as Benito Trump when he appears in their all important swing states. That includes people who aren't even up for re-election.

Stop with this nonsense, please. Pease stop talking to me like I'm a dope (message for the press).
