Discussion: The Trump Bump: Early Gamble On The Donald Pays Off For Backbenchers

The flaw in the Constitution is that representatives from states where the IQ is in the negative numbers have any influence at all.

Wow. DesJarlais, the pro-life anti-abortion doctor who, gasp, forces his girlfriends to get abortions, endorses another piece of human excrement, Trump.

Does the Trump Bump include movie deals? I think DesJarlais may get his own Jabba the Hut sequel in the Star Wars saga. Just Sayin.

“… “Trumpkins” as the Daily Beast coined them…”
I prefer “Trumpanzees.” Pays homage to Drumpf’s orangutan heritage.

He became the first member of the conservative Freedom Caucus to endorse Trump, and while DesJarlais says the decision wasn’t “risky per se,” he admitted that Trump was a bit “lean” on policy specifics when he lent his support.

Sounds like his support was purely strategic.

As a backbencher, if he supported an establishment candidate (i.e. Rubio or Bush), his support would have been lost in the crowd.

But by supporting a long shot, he either wins big or loses nothing. And it appears he wins big (for now) while the country may suffer catastrophically.

Trump’s intention was always to take Washington and shake it up.

Intention? Doubtful that this knee-jerk spewhole is able fire the neural circuits required to achieve that level of intention. Like saying leeches and hemorrhoids are capable of coherent strategizing.

The corrupt and opportunists are at the core of the GOP now. That’s why so many of their voters since 2006 have become Independents. It’s taken a toll that even their leadership still will not admit. It was only a matter of time before someone like Trump would move in on the operation and rally these forces. There really wasn’t much left that was decent within the party to defend against him.

The people who are around the candidate from the beginning sure have a leg up.

All bullies have little gang of loser scum outcasts hanging around. Since WWII the name for people who do that at a national level is “quisling.” Original one was shot. We’ll hope it won’t come to that and simply send these churls back to the gutters they came from.

In many ways, Trump’s crew of early adopters are unlikely leaders, but at its core that is what Trump’s campaign has been about. Trump’s intention was always to take Washington and shake it up.

I’m sorry, are we able to read Trump’s mind now? Is there a Trump Mindreading Machine available on the market? Because if we’re in the mindreading game now, I see no evidence that Trump has any clear intention to do anything at all except prove he’s not either a meaningless, insignificant worm the way his subconscious keeps telling him he is.
