So, what will tRump be selling at his Presser tonight besides a uniquely unqualified nominee for

SCOTUS?

Will he answer questions? Nah, unless they are from plants (although most of the Press seems plant like anyway) or faux news folk who are scared to death to ask the questions the American people want asked and answered.

Is the media and therefore the nation going to be scammed again by a tRump extravaganza of gold plated crap? Why the media falls for this shit is beyond me. It's almost like a Bevis and Butthead relationship. tRumps long con of monetizing the office of the president is getting kinda old and obvious. Obvious at least to regular Americans. Of course the press is too sophisticated to be slickered, again, by the duke of orange.

So what will it be? Did tRump by a shoe store? A railroad, because the up coming round up of undocumented people? No doubt it will be the yugest and bestest ever, and the undocumented will want to flock to it in a self deportation frenzy. Maybe he will be selling what he always sells, shit on a stick drenched in a golden shower of....well.

and denigrate those who will not go along with his campaign of constant self-promotion.

He's also "good looking" so that, alone may give him the edge with the intensely "image-aware" Trump.

I'd like to think his having been a lifelong Coloradoan and educated at Harvard, might imply some exposure beyond the intense RW doctrine-- on at least a few areas--but that is surely NOT a given...

I'm not supporting him, obviously, but attacking him as being "unqualified" is not going to play...

Celebrity Apprentice. The idea that both candidates will be there makes me believe he's going to tell one of them he's fired. I can't believe either of these 2 men would even entertain the idea of participating in this dog and pony show. Certainly not befitting someone seeking one of the highest positions in the land.
