Seems legit.

The GOP platform in its purest form… ‘we’ll let a negro ‘advise us’ on the VP pick, but we are certainly not going to pick the negro’…

Fortunately, we have so many people in FEMA camps and those WalMart tunnels are going unused, everybody wins! 100% employment!

“I think on the committee I’ll have Dr. Ben Carson and some other folks.”

This Committee on Trump VP Selection could beat out even the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology for Bastion of the Wisdomless award.

Remember the scientist who was once rebuked for his testimony regarding CO2 effects on climate change? The GOP rebuker cited the many “public comments out there” that “disproved” his testimony. The scientist replied: “Maybe, Congressman, you should look at the many scientific papers and treatises on the subject instead of the public comments.”

OMG…I hope Carson picks Sarah Palin. That would be a hoot and a half. Its the only logical conclusion and natural progression of a party that’s descended so far into the rabbit hole already.

(Honestly, I thought the headline was taken directly from The Onion when I first read it.)

You will never catch Trump well-prepared or having thought about a topic before answering. He is just that non-PC.

As I have said before…wait until he discovers the Electoral College.

I would choose a policy nerd over a buffoon any day.

Just to clarify – ghost is a long running satire routine, and he clearly succeeded given that you were not sure whether it’s serious or not. But to really appreciate the success, one needs to see this over time in context of both serious comments and serious trolls

Exactly. Trump must wait to see whom the American people elect in November so the voters may weigh in on a VP pick. To not do so is to ignore the will of the American people and the Constitution we cherish.

Eustace is no kind of bad guy. On occasion he is precisely on point with an excellent post in character or not. I consider him a mainstay of TPM and worthy of admiration.
