"Democrats find victims to make their arguments for them"

Interesting. I thought one of the main reasons that Trump has gotten this far is that a certain segment of society, i.e., his supporters, feel victimized...

He was still about 10 years late with his eureka moment about "talk is cheap" television productions...

The constant excuse-making and justifying of a clear nationalistic, self-centered, authoritarian in this day and age has taught me some interesting lessons in human behavior and the decisions of societies past.

I would say ignored moreso than victim

Kasich is still lurking. Beware when Trump quits.

Trump's ego won't let him quit. If he is still standing by September, it'll be too late in the calendar to run another person. The deadline for changing a candidate is already past in Delaware. All states are closed by September 30.

Reince is a dick, so I'm happy to see him in this shit...but the GOP is running out of options, except for keeping the horse they rode in on.

Trump public personae is toast. He can't go back to TV. He won't quit, he's got nowhere else to go publicly. He'll run, lose, blame it on a rigged election and convince himself that he didn't have a role in why he lost. Trump is already preparing his excuse. I think he knows he's going to lose.

Yep

Oh bullshit. The GOP had 33 speakers, from B list actors to preachers to pols to relatives and assorted hangers-on who called the dem presidential candidate everything but a married white woman. That's what is expected at party conventions. The "lock her up" and "string her up" were a little beyond the pale, but still - it's their show, have at it.

Trump, otoh, actually moaned to the press about how the dem speakers singled him out for abuse. And obviously your panties are wadded, too.

Regarding Khan, you put Gold Star Father in parenthesis, as if he doesn't deserve the honor. Incorrect.

American citizen Khizr Khan, the American Gold Star Father of an American hero who just happened to be Muslim and who harangued Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention, with a distraught wife at his side, is just another in a long string of individuals sent to call out Trump for his heinous policies.

Don't get upset bluetick, this is what he meant to say.

But you didn't reference a source for that particular post. Is everyone supposed to guess if it's you or Memorex?

Turns out my tone was influenced by Ann Coulter, so I apologize to her, right?

I'll take it as a complement if you think I post at the Goat Pen at the same level of a professional writer

apologize to whoever you want. I just pointed out you have little room to throw water on righteous indignation.

Ann does a have book deal and has been successful selling books. I guess that's one way of defining "professional."

You have skills wrt grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Probably moreso than Coulter, who employs proofers. So yeah, you probably ought to reference stuff.

I've been working on righteous indignation as a change-up. Passive aggression is my bread and butter; I tried sass but couldn't get it over.

Good and bad news, sardis. Your diagnosis is complete.

Meh...I think that explanation is taking the easy way out.
