22. My First Thought When I Heard Drumpf Was Going To Run

Oct 2016

One of my good friends has been enamored with Sniffles The Clown since the day he declared his candidacy (the extent to which he's become a Drumpf fanboy is a topic for another discussion, but it's really disturbing). In our discussions, I told him that there was no way Drumpf could EVER be elected President. When he asked me why, I told him that this is a guy who's been in the public eye, doing talk shows and giving interviews and putting his face in the media in every conceivable way for over 30 years. Just imagine what kinds of things exist on all those hours and hours of tapes he's put out there.

At the time, all I knew was that he was at one time a Democrat and supported most of the Democratic positions on things like abortion and the economy. I figured those comments alone would have caused all the hardcore right-wingers to run screaming from him. Little did I know what all else was lurking out there in all those tapes.

I just think it was funny that I expected his history of recorded conversations to keep him from ever making a serious run at the White House. Little did I know he would make it this far, and that something like THIS would be the thing that surfaced to derail his candidacy.
