ā€œWho knew that racism would be so unpopular in America? I mean, I watch FOX News, I thought it was the way to go.ā€

Whereas his plan for defeating ISIL is a ā€œsure thingā€.

He will be fine. This gives him even more air time.

An extended McLuhan moment, and not in a good way.

Heā€™s gone from ā€œOh fuck!ā€ to ā€œOHHHHā€¦ FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKā€ in just a few days.

I caught him on the tube yesterday and my suspicions were confirmed- he sees this entire race as a game. He doesnā€™t want to be President, he just wants to win.

Go Donald! A proverbial ā€œloose cannonā€ of monumental proportions for the Republicans!

Love it! Needzā€™ moarā€™ popcorn!!!

He will NEVER shut up; his ego will never allow it. The other ā€˜candidatesā€™ know it and the clown show promises to be monumental. Jeb took a couple of shots at The Donald over the weekend and itā€™s only a matter of time before we see The Donald Strikes Back!
Oh, my schadenfreude cup is already filling this morning.

Oh, boohoo. When can we expect the GoFundMe account to be up and accepting donations?

Of course, and The Don will insist that the minimum individual donation be set at one million dollars.

You can see the excuse for withdrawing emerging gradually from the mists of his idiocyā€”he was leading in the polls, but the political world is too corruptly vindictive to accept his truth-telling genius, so heā€™ll step aside, more in noble sorrow than in anger.

Did you see the time he said heā€™d upend USAā€™s trade obligations and unilaterally start charging Mexico 35% tariffs? Itā€™s like the ā€œgameā€ he is playing is running for 19th century king of USA.

Saw that. Heā€™s a moran.

His entire professional career has consisted of him blowing smoke up his own ass, and heā€™s surrounded himself with brown-nosers and ass-kissers who tell him his shit smells like roses. Now he discovers that politics is an arena where the media takes his statements more seriously than anything heā€™s said as a ridiculously pompous celebrity, and heā€™s surprised.

Welcome to the major leagues, asshole.

Reince Priebus is fervently praying for your scenario to play out before the first debate. I hear heā€™s laid in a supply of goats and lambs for daily sacrifice until Trump withdraws.

One can only hope that, before his expected exit along the way, The Donald causes as much pain and damage to the Republican Party and his fellow candidates as possible.

And this pretty much had worked for space vehicle Herman Cain, remember? He was going to build a giant electric fence and turn Mexicans into carne refrito for daring to try to enter. Another, uh, visionary.

Certainly, but if he went ā€œpoofā€ like a soap bubble today and it was as if heā€™d never existed, that would still leave all the others, and thereā€™s not a consistently unclownish figure among them. Heā€™s the undisputed king of that but it wonā€™t be in short supply after heā€™s gone.

True that, but itā€™s still going to be very difficult for Trump to give up this national stage. Like some petulant teen, even negative attention for egoistic and monomaniacal Trump is better than no attention. And heā€™s lost his national exposure on TV in several arenas.

Wow another politician thatā€™s backing away from telling us what he really thinks because itā€™s costing him money. Well at least heā€™s standing up for, and we get to see, what he really believes inā€¦money.
