Mr trump, it takes one to know one!
I never want the GOP primary to end. Just let Hillary be President and they can keep fighting each other for Republican supremacy.

Trump Crashes Glenn Beck’s Speech
I’m disappointed. Reading the headline I was hoping for one of those
“Fuck you” no “Fuck you” confrontations.

He copied this shtick from when uninvited Putin crashed the tawdry NATO meeting that was supposed to ratify Condoleeza Rice’s typically deranged plan to re-start the Cold War with loopy missile deployments.

I did get a lot of pleasure seeing Trump effectively telling Beck to STFU!
Yeah, it’s the only reality show I watch and I have to wait 4 years between seasons.

Honestly though, how can this kind of behavior be seen as anything but bad for the country’s security and moral standing in the world. Nowhere else is so over the top when it comes to lack of decorum. Really shameful that it has come to this. America has become a monster feeding upon itself and it is not pretty. We have had the best opportunity of our lifetimes to begin to unwind the damage that has been tying this country in knots for decades, but instead the Republicans especially are polarizing everything from the Constitution to religion and it just keeps getting uglier. We really need to get some manners. Continually striving to delegitimize those we see as opposition is sucking the oxygen out of this nation. For shame, America, for shame. We are lying to ourselves.
Somebody should have punched Donald in the face.
I must have missed something here. From this clip I got nothing to indicate this was a Cruz and/or Glenn Beck event, sure this wasn’t a caucus site? Kind of strange Trump as well. His brief speech (given as soon as his people could set up a smallish PA and hand him a mike) was sandwiched by questions from a Rachel Maddow correspondent, and he gives a shout-out to Rachel and goes so far as to compliment her charts! Being Trump, he makes it a left-footed compliment – he doesn’t like his head-shot in the charts but that’s okay. Hi Rachel!
He wishes both Hillary and Bernie the best of luck, tips that he’s sure it will be Hillary, then weirdly flags her (ahem) trumped-up legal troubles. Kind of a clear indication of a general election strategy. He’s dialing back, modulating his tone (or speaking to different audiences differently) as if he’s already certain that he’ll be the nominee and is running in the general. He doesn’t care in the least if this gets back to his base audience as long as it gets him five more minutes of free air time. He can already “shoot”, “punch” and “murder” and that base will still vote for him.
The complete self-absorption, the “me, me, me!” of the Narcissist; the “come here/go away”, “I love you/I hate you” manipulations of the sociopath; the brutal instincts of a P. T. Barnum, it is all here in one man. I still don’t know if he’s Caligula or Don Rickles.
It’s a long way to November and a strong reminder to renew my passport.

I wish Trump wasn’t such an ignorant jackoff because it is sort of fun watching him puncture some of the usual GOP hot air balloons and power centers.
If this were an event for anyone else (Bush, Rubio, Carson), I would have to decry Trump as a giant d-bag for this stunt. But as it is Ted Cruz, well… please proceed crazy NY businessman. Don’t hold back.
He also even said he “likes Rachel”. Poor Rachel. If Trumpf ever said he liked me (especially on national TV), I’d be nauseous for months.

Let’s split off the election and let Republicans vote on King America (no real power, but a really classy crown). The campaign is four years long, so it fills the gap between the real election for President, where normal Republicans pick their nominee. I think this could work.
