BREAKING: Donald Trump Avoids Imploding For Two Days!

[cali]

Here's the front page of the LA Times this morning. I have to say I'm impressed. Donald Trump gets a huge headline in the lead spot for spending—what? Two days? Maybe three? Anyway, two or three days without doing anything egregiously idiotic. It's like the way we lavish praise on a two-year-old for not throwing his food all over the kitchen.

According to the story itself, Trump gave a good speech! He ran some TV ads! He visited Baton Rouge for 49 seconds! The first was plainly aimed at his white base, not at the African-Americans it was putatively meant for. The second is the bare minimum that any presidential campaign is expected to do. And the third was transparent hucksterism. Still, he managed to avoid imploding the entire time. Good boy, Donald!

3. Right

Just watched Reince Preibus talking to John Dickerson, he claims Trump's been rolling clean for 10 days. I told my wife uhmm wasn't it just like 3 days ago he accused the President of creating ISIS and told black people that it doesn't really matter who they vote for because their lives suck so much?
