It is hilarious when people complain about some aspect of the primary elections as being “undemocratic” or unfair, for a number of reasons. First of all, people complain only when some obscure detail of the primary process works against them (or their favored candidate). Or they just complain when they are losing. For example, Bernie […]

Regardless, here are some of the great comments on this cartoon: Given Trump’s Calvinball tactics that seasoned political operatives seem ill equipped to handle, this is dead on. If Donald Trump is going […]
[Jokes from May 9, 2016] “Jeb Bush wrote a Facebook post congratulating Donald Trump for securing the Republican nomination, but said he still won’t support him. Yeah, Jeb wrote an insincere Facebook post. Or as that’s also known, ‘a Facebook post’.” – Jimmy Fallon “A former speechwriter for John McCain said Donald Trump has an […]
© Paul Szep But will it be close enough to get elected? And will Donald Trump produce John Barron’s birth certificate? UPDATE: Donald Trump attacks Hillary Clinton, saying “she knows nothing about national security” and dismisses her experience as secretary of state because “she’s incompetent”. “She is grossly incompetent when it comes to national security.

[Jokes from May 6, 2016] “Everybody is getting into the spirit for Mother’s Day, even Donald Trump, who tweeted: ‘Happy Mother’s Day! The best tuna casserole is made at Trump Tower Grill.

© Phil Hands People are tired of politicians who will say anything to get elected, so they pick someone who will say anything to get elected, but who isn’t a politician. Doesn’t that make sense? UPDATE: Trump not only leads PolitiFact’s “Pants on Fire” brigade (a stunning 76% of his statements are Pants on Fire, […]
Donald Trump’s ally David Bossie has just won a four year seat on the Republican National Committee. Even though Trump is not yet the official nominee, his status as the presumptive nominee already gives him sway in the Republican party. So even if he loses the general election, he will influence our politics. Why is […]
[Jokes from May 5, 2016] “In honor of Cinco de Mayo, Donald Trump tweeted a picture of himself eating a taco bowl. Then, Trump tried to get Mexico to pay for it.” – Conan O’Brien “Donald Trump observed Cinco de Mayo. He posted this on Facebook, ‘Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are […]

A detailed analysis of voting during the Republican primaries shows that two of Donald Trump’s main claims – that he is bringing in new voters to the Republican party, and that he is even attracting Democrats to vote for him – are just lies and misinformation. Or as Politico puts it: Donald Trump likes to […]

I’ll be off on vacation for a few days, far away from any internet connection. There will be new posts (they will appear after this post).
The New York Daily News (yeah, I know) has an interesting article, where they interviewed some Trump supporters. But these weren’t regular Trump supporters, they are members of groups that tend to not like Trump very much. Americans like women, Muslims, Blacks, Asians, Mexicans, and from India. People who have been insulted by Trump in […]
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Some of us were hoping that once Donald Trump became the presumed GOP nominee, that the media would stop talking about him incessantly.
