Pompous Author/Pimple on Trump's Ass, ROSS (Who?) KAMINSKY, playing the role of 'Dean Wormer':

"While Trump had been on good behavior briefly in the past only to return to 'Trump being Trump' mere hours later..."

After a preface and disclaimer like that, who could possibly take this guy seriously?

Good catch. She's holding on for dear life.

I guess Gramma Hitlery's super-deluxe walker (Huma's arm) was at her Mosque for a tune-up that day.

Phoniest frozen smile ever.

Trump’s sense of timing and is probably somewhat better than average.

She never shows her arms. They must look like hell.

“I wish they wouldn’t play up this media meme that Trump was in trouble and has turned it around.”

The striking thing is not that they live in a fantasy world, but that so many people have stepped outside the bubble and are seeing the fantasy for what it is.

This might actually be a good time to proselytize.

...it seemed to go mostly unnoticed in the broader media...

They noticed, they just don't want the public to notice. It does not fit the template of the reckless world smasher they have been painting him with. They want the evil witch to win.

:: trust that he knows what he’s doing ::

I’m just hoping that some smart-cookie is watching and taking notes. A Tea Party type governor, businessman or past-politician (Like Giuliani).

Bush43 had many opportunities to crush the Dhimmicrats after 9/11 but he played “politics as usual” and tried to get them to go along.

That’s a political war he lost.

Trump gave great speeches after Orlando and the speech he made about Hillary, but they didn’t get much press.

Trying to make EVERY photo into evidence of her decrepitude doesn’t help.

Oh go pound sand Ross

Agree. Guy ends his insufferably snooty piece claiming Trump still hasn't "earned" his vote and "may never do so." (A Cruzlim tell.)

Then who the hell cares what he thinks?

Strategy.

He was up against a slew of professional empty-suit politicians and knew he had to differentiate himself from the crowd, while also keeping himself in the news. He got millions in free advertising doing this.

Furthermore...

Thanks, great tidbits. Our founders were a bunch of rascals, no doubt. Human and flawed, yet inspired. My kind of fellows.

“but he played “politics as usual”

When Bush pushed ethanol on us and let Ted Kennedy own his education agenda he really made us mad. When he partnered with the Grifters Clinton and started calling them his relatives, he totally lost us for good, no matter what Bush.

He looks like a fun guy to be around. Too bad no one sees this side of The Donald.

If I were responsible for his campaign, I would work some of these shots into his ads.

Re: the ground game perceived lack- I quit second guessing Trump back in the spring. Now I don’t cringe when he says or does something that once would have appeared off or silly. He has shown time after time that his sense of what works and what it is time for is probably better than anyone else’s in the public field.

“Too bad no one sees this side of The Donald.”

I agree ... it would be nice to see a few ads with a more personal, smiling Trump.
