Trump Camp Aims To Make 2020 RNC ‘4-Day TV Commercial’ For POTUS

The Trump campaign is endeavoring to transform the Republican National Convention into what campaign advisers call a “four-day television commercial” by helping state Republican parties change their primary rules in favor of President Donald Trump.

Bor—ing. Enjoy Pukes. Maybe he’ll sell you some leftover steaks, some of Jr.'s wine and something for the ladies… a pair of Chinese-made pumps from Ivanka’s stolen line of designs.

tRump always wanted a parade for himself. This is probably the closest he’ll get to one.

And you just know the entertainment will be stellar, out of this world…literally, from people no one’s ever heard of.

The staffers denied the effort was to silence intra-party dissent against Trump, insisting that they’re merely trying to make the candidate selection process more “efficient.”

One does not often meet people stupid enough to fall for this tripe.

Then again, one isn’t necessarily @steviedee111.

On top of that, I’ll be interested to see how much $$$ he makes in this endeavor.

Optimistic bunch, aren’t they?

“The staffers denied the effort was to silence intra-party dissent against Trump, insisting that they’re merely trying to make the candidate selection process more ‘efficient.’”

And by ‘efficient’ they mean ‘rigged.’

I think he may get this far because the competition is almost nonexistent and he’ll be labeled The Impeached President by oppos, but he won’t be elected just because of the sheer number of people opposing him.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, found that only 24 percent of registered voters strongly approved of Trump’s performance, while 44 percent strongly disapproved. Significantly, 74 percent of Democratic registered voters strongly disapproved of Trump, but only 50 percent of Republican registered voters strongly approved of him. Which base would you rather have going into this fight — and into 2020?

The 24 percent are the folks you see at the Trump rallies. Trump’s more tepid approvers (17 percent of registered voters in this survey) tend to stay home, take in the news and ask questions about what’s going on.

Why would any network other than perhaps Fux and One America program this if trump is installing himself by removing the primary process?

It’ll give the flailing incumbent R senator Tillis a chance to ask, er, to beg to be reelected.

Guess Trump’s not feeling the love since MoscowMitch and his boyfriend GimpGraham pissed all over his plan to prematurely pull out of Syria…

Only thing he’s posted all evening is a love-fest mashup.

Stop making fun of Scotto Baio! He was huge in the 70’s. Or the 80’s. Well, not huge, but pretty big. Well, OK, not Big big, but his agent took his calls. And I’m pretty sure People magazine did NOT run him in a ‘where are they now’ article. Anyway, we should all refrain from making fun of has-been C-list celebreties who support 45*.
It’s like saying Moscow Mitch every time you mention Moscow Mitch.
Discourteous.
