That’s right. Kinda like that special math you did, right Turdblossom? “They have a candidate. But I have the real candidate.”

Oh Turd Blossom…none of your candidates are serious.

Trump is just the most honest about it.

Rove is correct, and deathly afraid of what Trump being in the race means…another clown car fiasco. Nor do I just mean for the presidency…someone like Trump bellowing out his crazy only encourages the crazy down ticket ala Akins. And with the GOP playing defense this year in the Senate, that’s a huge problem for them.

When will TPM start posting examples of goofy gun accidents again?

Just today over at Raw Story they had a guy in a a gun safety class at a Florida shooting range shoot himself in the leg. That’s kind of ho-hum but their weird ads with a pig posing by firearms threatening people who steal his popcorn is what makes it worthy of inclusion.

I know these guys live in their own little world but does it have to be in the same place as THIS one?

…and Romney won Ohio…

I have a secret plan

Now Nixon’s '68 campaign, that was a serious secret plan and an honorable candidate…

He may not be a serious candidate but I am looking forward to his tenure as Troll-in-Chief of the GOP nominating process.

The GOTP Primary season is fast approaching:

If the metric to ignore a Republican candidate is that they are not serious then that eliminates about 2/3 of the clown car right away. The rest get to stay in only because we need something for amusement over the next few months.

Huh. Wonder what the Donald did to piss off Karl “Puffy” Rove.

Here’s what you need to know about The Donald. He’s a pinata priced at about $33.00

Oh, Karl, Karl. Stop pretending. This is all for our amusement…and distraction. You know that. The distractions of the moment, no matter how important they are in the face of another racial massacre, are…well, serving the purpose to distract from OTHER things.
Things we might not like, if only we knew or cared about them.

One might as well question why TPM is not covering the vote taking place in the senate TODAY authorizing fast track for TPP, and TPM is perhaps one way to reach our congresscritters, I must ask one question off topic.

What happens, when in the short term (which is all corporate persons care about) international corporations VIA THE INCREASED POWERS THEY GAIN IN UPCOMING TRADE AGREEMENTS, decide the campaign beneficiaries should put off global warming until the corporate coffers are full(er).

Tell us, Congresscritters, what happens to those lauded reduction of CO2 agreements when AN INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION WILL BE ENABLED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST GOVERNMENTS FOR LABOR & ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS THAT MIGHT DIMINISH CORPORATE PROFITS AND THOSE CORPORATE TRIBUNALS NEED NOT FACE APPEAL)

Eh, congresscritters? Did you think we wouldn’t notice.

Yes–and Sarah Palin’s recent post to Facebook that “Mr. Trump should know he’s doing something right when the malcontents go ballistic in the press!” doesn’t exactly help the cause.

Shoot–This story is the precise reason I came to post on this thread. I’ll just add, though, that Trump-as-pinata is an analogy that can be extended for a good long while.

Trolling Trump. Kinda like throwing a loaf of bread in a carp pond. And Trump is the only carp in the pond.

Well, he would have, if the Founding Fathers’ 3/5 rule was in effect. Damn Democrats ignoring original intent again.
