Discussion: John Oliver: If Scandals Are Raisins, Trump Is A 'Raisin Monsoon' (VIDEO)

If scandals are raisins, then Trump is a familiar breakfast cereal whose name eludes me at the moment, totally NOT because there is a corporate attorney scowling at me. :wink:

Unfortunately, he is ā€œPreaching to the Choirā€.
People who watch his show are not voting for Trump (unfortunately, many wonā€™t vote at ALL because, well, it is not the thing that ā€œhipstersā€ and ā€œhipster wanna-besā€ do.)

If scandals are raisins, then Trumpā€™s campaign is a bowl of raisin-filled skittles, some of which are edible, while others might kill your family.

This sort of thing just might reach more young voters who might be out of touch with our aging liberal blogosphere.

I love torturing my family by singing the Kars for Kids song.

There. Iā€™ve said it.

ETA: John Oliver is a national treasure. The way he organizes and communicates information while entertaining is masterful.

I just want to say for the record that I like my oatmeal cookies with raisins in them. I prefer them to chocolate chips. But the rest of Oliverā€™s comparisons between the two candidates, minus the raisin analogy, is spot on. Trump redefines what ā€œscandalousā€ means in every sense of the word.

It staggers the imagination how many really big scandals have surfaced during this campaign. Things that would have caused any other candidate to drop out. Or to be forced out.

I honesty canā€™t figure out what is going on in the US anymore.

Trump U, Putin, fake charities, Putin, Trumpā€™s plane, Putinā€¦

Everyoneā€™s got their ā€œraisin in the cookieā€. Mine is carob chips because those look like chocolate chips but theyā€™re not. Itā€™s a damned LIE.

Yes, I am.

But I suffer too, you know. I canā€™t get that song out of my head. :frowning:

Swiss File TransferĀ®. Impressive.

My family calls skin tags raisins, so Iā€™m thinking that HO is the skin tag on the butt of humanity.

And because no one has yet. There is no ā€˜raisinā€™ to deny my superior raisining ; )

Agreed. It is nuts that have no business being in cookies!

Think about what you just wrote. Heā€™s certainly not trying to convert Trump voters. Perhaps a few of those hipsters will respond to the message of his sermon, and decide they donā€™t want a raisin monsoon after all.

Nuts go in my salads, hummus (pine nuts), trail mix and charoset. Beyond that, they can be found baked into every Republican fruitcake.
