I’m sure there are some smart, rational people who support Donald Trump. It’s just that they keep to themselves. They leave all the talking to the “nationalists” and “free speech advocates” and “alt-right” people who want to send all the blacks back to Africa, all the women back to the kitchen, and all the Jews back to the ovens. I know this because I’ve been hearing that crap from Trumpkins for months.
Which is a shame, because Trump could really use some help from people with two brain cells to rub together. He’s been having a rough go of it lately, and his campaign isn’t happy about it. Robert Costa, WaPo:
In a private document that was circulated over the weekend and obtained by The Washington Post, Trump campaign senior adviser Barry Bennett revealed the mounting frustrations among the billionaire’s top aides as they closed what had been a tumultuous week.
Entitled “Digging through the Bull [expletive],” Bennett’s memo urged Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski — who was charged with battery last week for allegedly yanking a reporter — and others to ignore critics who have questioned whether Trump’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination has waned.
Good. Ignore the critics, Trumpkins. Circle the wagons. Learn nothing. Keep doing what you’re doing, and then blame everybody else when there’s a problem. If you manage to pull this off and he gets the nomination, you deserve everything that’s going to happen in November. The rest of us don’t, but you sure as hell do.
If there was ever a time when I wanted to spare the precious feelings of a Trumpkin, that time has long past.
Speaking of the “alt-right,” Robert Tracinski at The Federalist has written an invaluable primer on these imbeciles who’ve latched onto Trump (which is why, for example, he doesn’t want to jump to any conclusions about the Klan). These are the people who’ve been screaming at me ever since I decided I’m never voting for him — #NeverTrump, people — and I couldn’t be happier that they don’t like me.
Look, I hate political correctness as much as the next teabagger. I enjoy needling uptight leftists too. I get the same rush of schadenfreude from their humorless whining as you do. Spite is fun. But it’s not enough to get me to vote for this idiot.
And if you’re dumb enough to think that not voting for Trump is the same as voting for Clinton? Well, I’m not voting for Clinton, so I guess that’s the same as voting for Trump. I’m not voting for either one, so I’m really voting for both. They cancel each other out.
You’re welcome.
