That's stupid, flag pins are stupid, God Bless America in the seventh inning stretch is stupid, me having to sing like four different songs about America in 5th grade mandatory chorus a year after 9/11 was stupid, the Pledge of Allegiance is stupid and a form of brainwashing, singing the national anthem before the debates is loving stupid, and nationalism is the biggest threat to the world.

One of the UK's biggest opinion leaders has come out in support of Trump:

quote:

Katie Hopkins, who also appeared on the U.K. version of “The Apprentice” in 2007, is a controversial figure in Britain and has been denounced by the United Nations after she called migrants “cockroaches.” On Wednesday, she wrote a column in the British tabloid newspaper in support of Trump.

“He [Obama] makes me want to wrap a suicide vest around my head and text BOOM to my brain,” she wrote. ”In contrast, Trump IS providing leadership. He knows some of his grandstanding is hot air. But he is articulating a sentiment held by millions and reinforcing himself as a protector of the American people.”

Trump jumped on the support.

“Thank you to respected columnist Katie Hopkins of Daily Mail.com for her powerful writing on the U.K.'s Muslim problems,” he tweeted.

“The politicians of the U.K. should watch Katie Hopkins of Daily Mail.com on @FoxNews. Many people in the U.K. agree with me!” he continued.

I believe this already makes him more popular in the UK than Mitt Romney.

He's honestly going to build a wall. He's honestly going to ban all muslims. Seems like you're halfway sold on him yourself.

The letter's audience isn'te the FEC... although if Trump does get hauled away to the FEC's black site in the abandoned maple syrup mines of New Hampshire, it would certainly explain Jeb's confidence that he would be in decline by 12/15.

That's literally what will happen if Trump is elected president, and he'll have majorities in both chambers, and he'll have the support of a majority of Republicans. Is this somehow controversial? Like, the primary reason that establishment Republicans are worried about Trump isn't because he's too extreme, it's because they think he'll lose a general election and hurt Republicans downticket! (Because he's stopped using the dog whistles that provide cover for independents to vote for Republicans)

I'm absolutely not voting for Trump or any Republican. But to call Trump dishonest when he's the one that's actually being the most honest about his Republican positions, and leading because of it, is wrong.

There's two letters there, the first is the snarky one to Trump's lawyer, the second is a pretty normal one to the FEC. I imagine the snark was triggered by the childish bravado exhibited by Trump's lawyer.

I've moved past Trump denial and Trump rage into Trump acceptance for this reason. He is forcing America to admit how many Americans are horrible people, which is a conversation that needed to happen.

Actually there was a funny news article a few weeks ago where establishment republicans were concerned about the possibility that Trump or Carson might actually win the presidency.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...0f76_story.html

quote:

The apprehension among some party elites goes beyond electability, according to one Republican strategist who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly about the worries.

“We’re potentially careening down this road of nominating somebody who frankly isn’t fit to be president in terms of the basic ability and temperament to do the job,” this strategist said. “It’s not just that it could be somebody Hillary could destroy electorally, but what if Hillary hits a banana peel and this person becomes president?”
