"There is no other Donald Trump, this is it" - Hillary Clinton

[calimary]

20. You and me both, barbtries.

Made me think of all the women I know who, when they were in love or about to marry, talked about how "I can change him." And I'd always think to myself - "no you can't. THIS is it. THIS is who he is. He may not feel like changing. He may be okay with the way he is. NOTHING you can do or say will change that (or him), unless HE decided to change, for himself. He won't do it for you."

Made me wonder what the heck they were marrying him for! You sign up with someone - either as a mate, OR as a representative OR as a president - AS IS. Warts and all. There's no such thing as "some assembly required" here. You get what you get, and it is what it is. And yeah, it's made me laugh to hear all the pundits, the interviewers, the reporters, the GOP apologists, the campaign PR people, the guys at the end of the line assigned to sweep up after the elephants' parade, all repeatedly assuring that - "oh, he'll get it! He'll catch on!" and "he'll become presidential!" All through the transition period they yammered about this. "Don't worry!" and "he's gonna start getting it" and "just be patient - he'll grow into the job" and the ever-popular "he's still new at this... just give him time!"

It's ALL BULLSHIT. Just exactly how much time are we supposed to give him to "start getting it" or "grow into the job"? Every time the unscripted, unteleprompter'd, unsupervised trump opens his fish-lipped yap, we can all see who he really is, and how he isn't "growing into" ANYTHING!
