DONALD TRUMP has been talking about himself for like 45 minutes on national televison.

His polls. His winning. His businesses. His manliness. Him. Him. Him. I think he even answered every criticism Romney made of his business skills. He brought products on stage. He keeps lying about not settling lawsuits, which is a smart business decision when there is merit to a case (no public award announcements).

And his idiot supporters clap and yell in support. What the hell are they applauding? Their own stupidity for supporting a man who cares about himself way more than the country he wants to be in charge of?

Things are getting really scary and really stupid out there.

so awfully hard to get him to come out of his shell and be a bit more assertive...

5. No wonder he isn't spending much money of political ads.

He gets every network to give him hours of free airtime every day... it's pure genius I tells ya, genius. But, if I was the other candidates, I'd sure be demanding equal airtime at no charge.

6. There's an interesting if antiquated term, "national television"

I remember national television, from before other countries watching stupid culture too. Maybe when we get done walling in the nation, we'll have national television again and the walls will keep it contained, sparing the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, who still has television?

10. Talk about playing the media for dupes...WHY the hell are there NO mics for the press people?

They should en masse refuse to cover this sham of a "press conference", if their questions can't even be heard.

It's nothing but an end to end free commercial for the Drumpf beating his cheat.

Unbelievable.

12. "X is a great state: I own property in X"

Huh? Does he think he can win an election by buying states?

It's a fascinating speech, in the sense that watching a catastrophe unfold is fascinating. It's all "I", never "you" or "us". I'm the best, I own the greatest stuff, everybody says I'm great.

I am scared.
