You support him Corky. He won’t change. You know that too. But you signed on with him and he is all yours now. And that badge of dishonor will always be a part of you.
What kind of mind-bending medication are we taking today, Corky? Sounds like a combination of Valium and Ecstasy. Or have you graduated to blotter acid?
WHY ALL THE TRUMp STORIEs? I sENSE A TPM conspiracy against BERNIE.
Well, it may be “problematic” for you, Corkster, but it’s manna from heaven for us.
Donald Trump is the perfect representation of what the Republican Party has been heading for over the past 35 years.
Choke on it, you despicable little prick.
Donald Trump is 70 years old. Corker, do you know how hard it is for a grumpy racist 70 year old man/child to grow up?
“Trump claims that U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel was biased against the real estate mogul because of his Mexican heritage.”
And homo sapiens judges are biased against Trump, too, because of that whole “different species” thingy?
This presumes (correctly unfortunately) that the voting public can be swayed by Trump adopting good behavior leading up to the election. If David Duke strung together 12 weeks of model conduct are we supposed to believe he’s not who we know he is? If Louie Gohmert went 3 months without saying anything stupid would we believe he’d suddenly gained intelligence, wisdom and a deep sense of personal introspection? Trump has given all of us a window into who he is. It’s too damned bad GOPers are probably correct all that’s needed is for him to fake respectability for 5 months and they’re home free.
“If not, if he starts moving closer to the convention and it’s similar, I think it’s very problematic,” Corker said.
There’s more than one way to read those words - but I take it as a sign that even wimps like Corker might decide they can’t live with Trump. Anyone representing a not-100% safe seat has got to be thinking about un-endorsing him, no matter how much abuse it subjects them to. On to the next round of the GOP civil war!
Trump is “problematic” regardless. That he garners support by a sizable minority of the population is damning.
The Atlantic’s James Fallows has been keeping tabs on the campaign and what’s currently under discussion is whether trump is looking for an off ramp theorizing that he’ll exit the stage after the convention leaving the party in ruins. “Problematic” will hit them in their ignorant faces at that time.
If Trump changes it will be through a nervous breakdown, not through any considered decision to be a smidge less psychotic.
Why does he need to change now everyone would know it was an act. He won the nomination as is and the gop big wigs endorsed him as is.
Just how does the tiger change his spots?? Remember that Trump has said he doesn’t change. His supporters love that he’s consistently 100% jerk. Corker’s is purely magical thinking, or delusion. Either way, no more excuses. You’re either with him or against him.
In a narrow sense that it will be helping Democrats, particularly our POTUS nominee, win in Nov. yes. But Trump and the fact that a measurable portion of our society support him, and that he is “normalizing” behaviors and comportment in our politics that are truly toxic and damaging… no.
THiS IS GOOD News FOR BERnie SAnders BEcAUSe POLLs show HE’LL beat Everyone After HE wINS THE Democratic NOMInation.
Corker then closed his eyes and said, “When I open them, everything will be better.” And he kept his eyes closed until November 9.
David Duke and Louie Gohmert are terrific examples for your point. Well played!
Easy – the same way as a leopard changes his stripes!
