Clever Trump is best Trump.

My grandfather had(Cognitive decline is a turd) a subtle and dry wit that could take shots without anyone realizing. I would frequently crack up at a something he said minutes earlier.

Obama had some of that, and I do miss it. Wit from the highest office conveys intelligence without appearing to roll in the mud.

I much prefer this approach than the childish name calling he lowers himself to on twitter. It won't make the people who hate him like him but for indifferent people like me, it makes him at least more human.

obama's joking is what got us trump as president in the first place.

When you run on hope and change how do you quantify a success? The emotion may get you in the door, but that's it.

i'm talking about obama basically saying at one of the correspondents dinners that trump couldn't be president and trump said "hold my beer" i think we see that trump will latch onto a grudge and not let go. i contend he'd of never ran if it weren't for that night.

oh yeah, that was pretty funny but yeah that is often where it was believed Trump decided to run. I had forgotten all about that.

It is funny that all of a sudden she acknowledges media bias after a few unflattering pieces for her were put out in mainstream media outlets. Now she knows how conservatives feel, in a much smaller sense.

So, apparently last night, Don Lemon called for an end to the rioting because "it's showing up in the poles"
You stay classy CNN. :roll:

That is a stone cold hard fact. Or they are rioting in cities that would not have voted for trump anyways

A significant % of the rioters have totally rejected the democratic process. They think this is the way to get what they want. Of course a lot of them really don't know what that is.

What I hate is that the rioters have essentially crapped on the community organizers and protesters who have done things the right way. The story is the riots, not the peaceful protests that have been happening in many places.

Blame people like Talcum X

I had to paste a reply to his own tweet cause his first one had a naughty word in it

Never mind. The naughty word keeps coming up

Rasmussen Reports tweeted this rather innocuous prediction last night, and twitter went crazy. They did some pretty funny troll zapping. I actually think they may be right. Certainly hope so.
