I don't think Trump's running for president anymore

I think he's angling for "Trump TV" an anti-Clinton network to appeal to the deplorables. He is playing stronger and stronger to the teaparty. You can't tell me Bannon, Ailes and Conway aren't smart enough to realize that the stunt with the Bill Clinton scandal women would do nothing to help him win the election but would fire up his ever dwindling base like noones business. I mean you can say he's a loose cannon and says stupid shit like put her in jail without forethought, but that stunt with those women was not an accident, it was planned and not by Trump.

It'd be too similar to Fox to draw away enough viewers and too toxic for anybody else. If Oprah couldn't make a network successful, Trump sure as hell can't.

A dwindling audience of the permanently bewildered and chronically confused.

Great leadership drumph.

I'm grateful to HRC for giving us a word to refer to these people without having to use a dozen 'isms'.

the RW talking heads across this country. They currently are 'endangered species' and given another possible 4 to 8 years of another Dem administration - they will become extinct.

Trump TV - if that is a possibility - will become like a 'sanctuary' for endangered animals. They will all be under a Trump protected umbrella. They would have a ready audience of deplorables - what is the count - 40 million + that should be enough to grab advertising dollars and ad revenue to keep Trump and his family - fat, dumb and happy - going forward.

It's golden toilets for all of them.

And have his name plastered on it and Ailes can stick it to foxnews and they both can grab as many pussies as they can handle. Rudy's right he's a genius.

The idiot deplorables will keep Trump and Ailes on golden toilets for the rest of their non-taxpaying lifespans!
