They don't even know and never understand what he is saying from day to day. They just worship his boorish indolence. They want to be just like him -- angry without reason and little vessels of spiritual and moral poison.

By endorsing them in the name of party unity, he will be able to demand that they double down, either campaign with him or repudiate their previous stances ..

Humiliation is the game and Trump is a master . . . poor Christie.

He made his announcement at 8pm on a Friday night--when the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics took all of the Friday night graveyard audience.

I would wager that a massive percentage of Trump supporters don't even know he did it, and never will.
