The best quote...
Mosbacher, who has helped raise money for presidential campaigns, said Trump's net worth can give the appearance that "he can't be bought."
That's like arguing that Tony Montana didn't need need all those turf wars in Miami because he controlled most of the blow traffic already. Unfortunately, Donnie's got nothing close to Tony's level of self-discipline.

What's funny is that Senator Sanders is doing the same thing by shifting focus to harassing superdelegates after Hillary Clinton suplexed him into a big pile of Saudi money.

Jack-asses using Trump to attack congressional opponents.
Their major focus appears to be the Senate, considering they have to win a net total of four seats to retake control of the chamber, though the more outside chance of also flipping the House now seems more attainable.
...
Democrats would need to win roughly 30 seats in November to retake control of the lower chamber.
Let's see how those numbers shake out after November. I'm predicting Donnie the Cock-Gobbler will give the Senate and White House to the blues, with at least a +15 differential in House seats to boot.

Pachyderms who hate Donnie Micro Dick. Some picks:
Donald Trump is epically unprepared to be president. He has no realistic policies, no advisers, no capacity to learn. His vast narcissism makes him a closed fortress. He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know and he’s uninterested in finding out. He insults the office Abraham Lincoln once occupied by running for it with less preparation than most of us would undertake to buy a sofa.
...
"You could be living on a diet of lead paint, cheap vodka and Real Housewives and still know more than Trump does about, well, everything."
...
"Trump is not a noninterventionist in foreign affairs; he's a national populist who will adopt any position that advances his political ends."
...
"He's said terrible things about women, terrible things about the military. I don't understand why people are for him, for that reason." - Barbara Bush
...
"At this point, I'd happily support a moderate. Would be more conservative than either of the two dishonest liberals now leading the Rs & Ds."
...
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it."
Maher on Trump, again.
“Donald Trump, who says if Hillary Clinton were a man she wouldn’t get 5 percent of the vote,” Maher said. “If Trump was a man he’d stop whining like a little bitch.”
Maher continued, “This is a guy who actually brags about his prowess at whining.”

The “Real Time” host made his case that nobody fits the stereotypically ’50s description of women better than the modern-day Trump.

“Irrational, pouty, vain, thin-skinned, hysterical and just not that bright, does that sound like anyone we know today?” the comic said.

“Who gets more hysterical than Lady Donald Trump?” Maher asked, noting how worked up the candidate gets over pet issues like Mexican immigrants, Muslims and building a wall.

Differential equations mistaken for terrorist threat, Trump to blame:
“I thought they were trying to get clues about her illness,” he told The Associated Press in an email. “Instead, they tell me that the woman was concerned that I was a terrorist because I was writing strange things on a pad of paper.”

He told The Washington Post that he laughed when he heard someone thought his differential equation was terroristic scribbling.
But check the tweet right above that

Refusing to release tax returns.

Trump spurs voter enrollment.

Donnie Dumbass picks a white nationalist as his delegate and calls it a "database error."

Partnering with Rudy for a "study."

I'm seriously considering a vote for Trump just to spite Malcolm.

At least this way I'll be slightly entertained as I pick between a turd sandwich, a douchebag, and some irrelevant knobs.

Gary Johnson is not a knob. He's actually quite intelligent, well spoken, and a legitimately good person.

But yeah, I can't refute the irrelevant part. Sadly.

Matters as much as yours. It's a one-party political system; everyone's a spendocrat, so I don't waste my time going to the polls. That's like going to a casino where all the dice are loaded, cards are marked, slots and tables are rigged, and mixed drinks are made with cheap well liquor served by C-average hookers who only look attractive when you're wasted enough in the early morning. Nothing good can come from going, and even if I don't play the games, I waste time and fuel money just showing up.

Dude... you're the one posting hilarious pics about throwing my vote away, and having this weird, rabid, almost uncomfortable hatred of "Donnie Dickbag," or however you say it.

You can't vote against someone who's not voting. His vote comes pre-nullified.

There's nothing weird about hating Drumpf. He's imminently hateable.

Rabid? Nah. That connotes someone frothing at the mouth like an overprotective junkyard dog -- that's Droopy Dick Don's party trick. I'm quite comfortable with my hatred of him.

I'm honestly leaning Gary Johnson despite knowing my vote won't be winning shit. I've also seriously considered a write in candidate.

But I have to admit, I also would get some entertainment out of Trump actually becoming president. I mean, how much damage could he do that Obama didn't already do? Plus, I'm 100% confident that if I marked Trump I would giggle to myself thinking, "Take that Malcolm!"
