The trumpian wordmongering at Breitbart is causing them to hemmorhage writers. They've been proclaimed the PR arm of the Trump campaign, which has been obvious for some time.

Mr. Trump, rabble-rouser, wordmonger
Might be wrong, but Ms. Clinton is wronger
And despite many polls
And the musings of trolls
Donald says, when they run, he will schlong ‘er

Pundits specialize in wordmongering, but do they ever actually accomplish anything?

It’s an auspicious day, that’s for sure. The day everything changed. The day a path is chosen. The die is cast.
