Trump v Obama is like Goofus v Gallant

“I love Hispanics. I love Hispanics,” Trump said to the audience. “Actually, I was kidding, you can get those Mexicans out of here.”

If you ever wondered what a Trump vs. Trump debate would be like, this is it.

That baby speaks for the majority of Americans.

“When daycares send their infants, they’re not sending their best. They’re bringing colic. They’re bringing germs. They’re poopy. And some, I assume, are good babies.”

That’s back when America was great. Together, we can get this country back to that place.

Back in the old days, that baby would have been taken out on a stretcher, folks.

I’m free!

Speaking of Schadenfreude, what was up with Giuliani’s call-back to Obama’s “There is no white America, there is no black America” line? It’s like, you don’t get to use those words, since your candidate literally made it about Obama’s race from day 1, and you yourself were noted for deliberately targeting minorities…

Manafort wasn’t defending Melania - he was desperately trying to save his own ass. Apparently he personally signed off on the speech (rickroll, plagarism, and all) and it was written by a pretty senior staffer. So now his only way to rescue himself is to be like “no, it wasn’t plagarized and if it was, Melania wrote…

Quick question: If Mary Ann Mendoza’s and Sabine Durden’s sons had been killed in car accidents caused by U.S. citizens, legal immigrants, or even foreign tourists, would they be speaking at the Republican National Convention? Or are they there to play into the xenophobia spouted by the Republican Party?

Right, and what the fuck does anyone’s immigration status have to do with a car accident? People are killed by US citizens or legal immigrants all the time. To say that it wouldn’t have happened if the person hadn’t been here is just weird. I don’t blame the grieving parents— I mean in that situation anyone might…

Y’know, say what you will about Mitt Romney (like he was an awful, out-of-touch millionaire who would have wrecked the country) but at least I got the sense he genuinely wanted what was best for America. That’s how bad Trump is, he makes Mitt Romney look reasonable.

I love the “common words” defense. The odds of that happening by accident are so astronomical. To ask someone to believe that is insulting to anyone with even basic intelligence. I’ve had a handful of students plead this case when they’ve lifted paragraphs/whole papers from online sources. “But Ms. Thundercats, I…

Trumps primary voting base comes from the states with the lowest adult literacy rate in the country, I honestly don’t think he expects them to read any of the write ups or think pieces on his speeches. I mean look at the way he speaks, it's like listening to a second grader with too much candy

Hahahaha, it will be hilarious to see how fast the divorce papers get filed after he loses.

Yeah, the best bit is that two of the deaths...were car accidents. Um, when did Clinton work for the DOT? I must have missed that appointment...

Wait, 2 out of the 3 anti-immigrant moms are anti-immigrant because their kids died in car accidents? If the accidents in question had been with someone’s handicapped vehicle, would they be going around smashing people’s wheelchairs? Forget Melania’s lazy mediocrity, the fact that other speakers have been driven…

It’s funny because it’s so unimportant, but it’s also scary that they couldn’t do something so simple and get it right, even knowing that it would be obvious if they fucked up. Think about having these people making decisions about things that matter.

There is, however, some kind of schadenfreude in watching Republicans cheer the words of Michelle Obama.
