That is one dead elephantā€¦

Note: I finally figured out who generated this cartoon masterpiece. It is Steve Brodner of Politico, who has many other gems posted at: http://www.politico.com/magazine/cartoons/2016/11/steve-brodners-campaign-2016-cartoons-000000?slide=0

I would pay money to be able to go back in time and be a fly on the wall and watch his pants burn, but I would not be happy unless they really burned up, not just a little smolder.

This has to take over the title of best HO campaign metaphor from the previous champion- the collapsing stage.

I think I particularly liked the description of a website the campaign uses 270towin.com where they create their own narrative of trump winning.

For 10 minutes, they clicked through the country, putting Democratic-leaning states won by Mr. Obama four years ago, like New Mexico and Colorado, into Mr. Trumpā€™s column.

Their analysis seemed more atmospheric than scientific.

ā€œYou can go to Pennsylvania,ā€ the campaignā€™s digital director, Brad Parscale, said, referring to a state that polls show favors Mrs. Clinton. ā€œYou can almost slice the excitement with a knife. You can feel it in the air there.ā€

And like Hitler in the bunker trump says "ā€œIā€™m going to win.ā€

Haha. When my husband read me the headline while we were raking leaves, I said it sounded like Hitlerā€™s last days in the Bunker. After he read it, he said thatā€™s exactly what it sounded like.

I especially loved the part about Ivanka being afraid an ad by her appealing to suburban women would hurt her brand and didnā€™t want the ad promoted.

Were you not going to say ā€œno dressingā€?

Hillary Clinton has an 84% chance of winning the presidency.

Trump mumbling to whispering Jared, at 3AM, thumbs twitching involuntarily: "Iā€™ve seen horror. . . But youā€™ve no right to call me a murderer. . . . Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terrror are your friends. . . "

Now if some tech wiz could create a website which lets you design your current body, Iā€™d buy stock in it. 270towin.com is just as fanciful. Or full of shit. Take your choice. Hahaha.

Thereā€™s a moment in The Crown when Philip in a snit tells Elizabeth sheā€™s ā€œqueeningā€ around. Do you think thereā€™s a chance Bill will tell Hill sheā€™s "presidenting around?

I probably would have been far more vulgar. Iā€™m so ashamed. Really.

When he brings his German Shepard and a Luger into the bunker and then calls for Melania, she better run very fast.
