Actually Sarah Palin was a forerunner but she actually did the dumb thing by taking office and quitting, and then she flamed out.

Trump has refined it to an art form.
He doesn't even have to win the election.

every conservative radio talk show host, I heard, rejected the autopsy and doubled down on their current belief system .... they are still looking for a savior who will be able to verbalize their message, which will convert all listeners

Sen Cruz may have been the Messiah, but he is still working on the end times

I was reading the transcript of his interview on CNBC. He pretty much admits he's in the shyter - and doubles down saying he's not going to change a thing. Ergo: he's looking forward to taking down the Republican Party - and they deserve it for being a$$hats and supporting the Buffon.
I wonder how much he is being paid to finish the job grin

They may actually do better when Republicans out of power. They are certainly much more free to complain and offer simplistic solutions that can't work in real life.

How Much Does Donald Trump Pay in Taxes? It Could Be Zero

Quote
Mitt Romney was excoriated during the 2012 presidential campaign for paying $4.9 million in federal income tax, or an average of just 14 percent of his adjusted gross income, in the two years for which he released returns.

No one should be surprised, though, if Donald J. Trump has paid far less — perhaps even zero federal income tax in some years. Indeed, that’s the expectation of numerous real estate and tax professionals I’ve interviewed in recent weeks.

Even with hundreds of millions in gross revenue from his vast real estate empire, “it’s both possible and legal that Donald Trump would pay little or no income tax,” said Len Green, an accountant and chairman of the Green Group, a tax and accounting advisory firm. Mr. Green is also a real estate investor, teaches at Babson College and is the author of the forthcoming “The Entrepreneur’s Playbook.”

“I would expect he’s paying little or no tax,” agreed Steven M. Rosenthal, a veteran tax lawyer and senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy center.

What do we know? Hillary is a challenged candidate. But, Hillary is smart, wonky, knows details, has a domestic and foreign policy and is liberal. Then there is Don Trump. Trump is ethically challenged, lies daily and consistently. He doesn't know basic geography, basic law, political reality, the powers of the Presidency, manners, common decency... and really has no interest in learning any of that. He doesn't have a real policy position on any domestic issues, or foreign policy, that doesn't change frequently and inconsistently. So...

It looks like he's losing badly (based upon polls, but yanno, how reliable are those?). I wish it were November and this nightmare was over.


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

Rick, dear friend, you are after all talking about Trump supporters. Are there any other kind?
