I must be missing something. He’s got very little ground game going on, right? And no particular strength in fundraising at this late date? And yet he antagonizes party leaders in these fits of pique whenever they fail to abase themselves sufficiently? And he still expects to win a national campaign? Beyond being morbidly fascinating, does he have anything going on as he heads into the general that could be considered an advantage?

I have often wondered if this is one big performance piece.

Odds on that the big reveal at the GOP Convention is that Andy Kaufman is alive and will be his running mate.

I’m thinking he might go with someone like Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina. Black, very conservative and pretty quiet over all.

Well, the ticket would have a zombie Andy Kaufman ā€˜Mighty Mouse’ and a hair-challenge, orange Mighty Mouth.

Me too. I think he truly never reckoned with it all getting this far and now he can’t get the genie back into the bottle without losing face. If the #NeverTrumps had been stronger, I think he would have told everybody to stuff it at the convention. But now all those spineless GOPers like Lindsey Graham & Co are falling in line. So, that’s out and now he must be wondering, where’s the next logical place to end this farce?? It’s like a bad movie.

I really and truly, all snark aside, would not be at all surprised that he finds a way to get out of it before Election Day. And he will find a scapegoat and the GOP will all be losers.

Can’t blame her too much for that run-in with the police. She was drunk.

I’m still holding out hope that Trump’ll pull his face off to reveal he is Andy Kaufman.

Without the inheritance, he’d be the ace salesman at a Buick dealership in Hoboken.

Another woman smarter than the Donald? Oh well, I guess when you have the white nationalists on your side nothing else matters!

Trump reminds me of an entity who used to hang around TPM. He had several screen identities over time (he kept getting banned). The longest was ā€œEGā€. These days he shows up (rarely because the moderators are wise to him) in sleeper sock screen names, throws a turd and runs away. What’s left is a stinking pile.

This is why he’s going to be a huge drag on the ticket and will almost certainly hand the Senate and a few governorships to Democrats. He will not allow GOPers to escape him. And he certainly won’t put up with McConnell’s plan to let Senate candidates in tight races run against him. Even if it’s good for his presidential prospects, his fragile ego simply will not tolerate such blatant disrespect. So, Portman, Ayotte, Toomey, Kirk, Jolly, Burr, Johnson, etc. go ahead and hire a resume writing service. You’re either going to run with Trump and lose, or you’re going to run against him and lose. Either way, this is opening salvo against those who think they can run from him.

Oh whatta’ scamp! The Donny’ does bring out the best in people, huh? You can just see it at his rallys and even at a book signing in the faces of his devotees:

"Oh! I just can’t believe I’m so close to Him…my Lord and Savior!"

"Oh God of Anger, Please Eat My Baby!"

ā€œā€œYou know, I’m really busy, and I’m the governor of New Mexico, and I’m really focused on what’s going on here in New Mexico,ā€ she said Mondayā€

The CowardlyTrumpkin version of quitting politics just before a shitstorm: ā€œI want to spend more time with my family.ā€

Doncha just LUUUV the knots the GOP tied themselves in to avoid insulting more rational members of the GOP while keeping close the tea party base.
