I Can't Believe Trump Hasn't Dropped Out

Trump is an idiot, but he is smart enough to see how badly he will lose. And the press hasn't even started interviewing the people he screwed over (by the thousands) yet.

Good thing our media is part of his campaign propping him up, and letting his surrogates lie their asses off defending his idiocy.

Sacrifice democracy for horserace/advertising dollars.

It's kinda like Woodward not printing who the Valerie Plame leaker (cover blower) was until after the election, even though he knew. Had to help Bush, and get his access!!!!

Novak knew also.

They "sat on the story" until after the election.

Sickening.

and he goes to all these rallies packed with people who profess their undying love for him. They show up in YUGE numbers, even in states all the polls say he can't win! It's all a big-liberal-media plot! Of course he's going to win!

surrounded by sycophants and yes-men, every cherry-picked poll that shows him winning or "closing the gap" is evidence of his inevitable victory.

one reason i don't mind the "closing the gap" polls is they're fodder for his parasites to use when fueling his massive orange ego.

I'm confident he will not drop out. He enjoys the attention too much. See this TYT video posted 06/01/2012. It's the same guy we're seeing today.

7. Understandable. But would you buy that book or would you check it out

from the library?

As fascinating as it would be to find out how he managed to end up the way he is today, so parents could learn what not to do, I think it's safe to say that the resulting hemorrhoid is hurting my humanity.

if someone could get to his surviving siblings and get the story of how this freak came to be, yeah, I'd pay for it. The Kindle version.

I'm more of a nature over nurture believer, but they both play a role. And no one's nature is naturally like Trump's....he was created.

10. Why would he drop out? He has no loyalty to either party or country, just his own yuuuge ego.

We can but hope that he utterly destroys the GOP as he flails toward the end.
