group of people irregardless of whether he can win votes there or already has the state locked up. I think he is just after network subscribers for when he loses and becomes a billionaire media mogul. Maybe he figures Republicans in Austin will be easy pickins for following him anywhere if he shows them some attention, they are so isolated.

100% what this enterprise is about.

Greatest scam in history.

The joke's on the GOP.

He has never demonstrated an ability to plan a project and see it through to completion without an undue amount of drama or fraud or some other malfeasance. He is incapable of playing the long game because he has a terribly short attention span. And he's not particularly bright or articulate.

Specifically, he's seriously damaged his brand. Originally, Mr. Trump was a real estate developer. But for more than the last ten years, he hasn't been able to raise or borrow the capital to actually build and own the buildings that bear his name. Banks won't lend to him because they know he's a huge risk. So, he's merely licensed the "Trump" brand for those structures which were built with other peoples' money. Likewise with the products that he promoted including the steaks, vodka, bottled water and board games.

But after all the things that he's said and done over the course of his campaign, he's ruined that brand. There will be very, very few organizations that will want to associate with him when the campaign is over. Keep in mind that corporations desire to sell their goods and services to the greatest number of customers. They avoid controversies- and controversial people as spokespersons- because trouble tends to diminish their sales. Donald Trump's imprimatur will not help grow sales after this is finished.

The signs of that damage have already occurred: Macy's terminated their partnership with Mr. Trump. Univision dropped Trump's Miss USA pageant from their programming. NBC ended their relationship with the star of "The Apprentice." And the Professional Golf Association moved a marquee event from Trump Doral in Miami to, get this, Mexico City! These are just some of the many organizations that don't want to be associated with Mr. Trump.

Simply put, he's insulted far too many people and groups. His lame attempt at apologizing doesn't mask the ugliness and sincerity of what he's said. People know this.

I do agree with you, onehandle: "The joke's on the GOP."

Hope you have a good week.

constant reassurance he counts. The man doesn't read books and is an arrogant blowhard. He needs yes-people constantly propping him up.

and the people there thinks he is batshit crazy too (or at least I did when I was there).

I hope he gins up votes in Houston, Dallas, Lubbock, Austin, Ft. Worth, then does the loop again, again, then again. Focus!

is Lubbock? Fort Worth is about 50-50 while the others vote blue. It's the great wide expanses in West Texas, the Panhandle, central Texas and the Piney Woods that are Republican.

Should be interesting if he pisses off his base by flip flopping on his previously insane positions.

Like their Cocks Not Glocks demonstration to protest campus carry laws.

I hope somebody comes up with something interesting.
