The one thing I will say is Trump is providing us with a very unobstructed view of the decay and eventual demise of the GOP.

When they chose to ignore their own study of what they have to do to win elections after 2008, they pretty much sealed the deal. You can't ignore the demographics. There just are not enough old white guys anymore.

Interesting article on Slate talking with people who worked with Trump: He's Obsessed With Menstruation “Those of us involved in the show [The Apprentice] are proud of our work. But we might have given the guy a platform and created this candidate. It’s guys like him, narcissists with dark Machiavellian traits, who dominate in our culture, on TV, and in the political realm. It can be dangerous when we confuse stories we’re told with reality.

maybe he thought it was the flag of Puerto Vallarta
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

I saw this - what is amazing is that a lot of the comments originate from people who think this is a serious pro-Trump video. It is clearly a spoof. What is more, the Japanese are likely the last people that would want Trump as president seeing as how he has been accusing the Japanese since the 80s of taking advantage of America.

I saw this - what is amazing is that a lot of the comments originate from people who think this is a serious pro-Trump video. I know!  You Will Never Unsee This Wondrously Strange Fake Japanese Advertisement for Donald TrumpKaty Waldman Slate June 16 2016 ... We could not resist getting [Mike] Diva, whose real name is Mike Dahlquist, on the phone.
Katy Waldman: You’ve tweeted that all you want to do is “make stuff that is pretty/funny/terrifying at the same time.” How would you break down the percentages in this video?
Mike Dahlquist: Honestly, I tried to make it as even as possible with those three things: funny, terrifying, pretty. That’s what I’m going for with all my work. Trump, of course, is already terrifying. Seeing his face everywhere has been something we’ve all have to deal with ...

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Donald Trump wrong that 'there's no real assimilation' by U.S. MuslimsLouis Jacobson PolitiFact June 18, 2016 After the mass shooting in Orlando by a man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reiterated his call for a temporary ban on Muslims coming to the United States ...
Trump [to Sean Hannity], "Assimilation has been very hard. It's almost — I won't say nonexistent, but it gets to be pretty close. And I'm talking about second and third generation. They come — they don't — for some reason, there's no real assimilation." ...
We concluded that the implication of what Trump said — that Muslims want to isolate themselves from the mainstream American culture — is flat wrong. However, we also learned that the question involves some important nuance. In particular, the task of "assimilation" facing post-1960s immigrants to America is more complicated than, and thus distinct from, what it was for white, Christian, European immigrants who came to the United States in prior generations ...
