quote:

Trump: I'm The One Who ‘Really Broke The Glass Ceiling’

Donald Trump patted himself on the back for the help he had provided to his female employees during a Monday night appearance on Fox News’ “O’Reilly Factor,” calling himself “the one that really broke the glass ceiling.”

“I have great respect for women,” Trump said. “I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women more than anybody in the construction industry. And my relationship, I think, is going to end up being very good with women.”

The billionaire real estate mogul has faced a steady stream of criticism on the campaign trail for his offensive comments about women, including his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

On Monday, he repeated his litany of critiques against Clinton including that she is “not honest,” unable to “secure” the country, and unprepared to sit in the Oval office.

“I don't think even think she is capable,” Trump told O’Reilly. “Look at her decisions.”

The Associated Press reported late Monday night that Clinton secured the number of delegates needed to win the Democratic party’s nomination, making her the first female candidate to lead a major party ticket.

Trump also batted down O’Reilly’s question about a recent Boston Globe report that said Trump paid his female campaign staffers a third less than their male counterparts.

“I have some women making a lot of money and making more money than men in comparable positions,” Trump insisted, saying he pays “based on talent.”

“I just checked with my people on the election stuff, and they tell me that that's wrong,” he went on. “There are different jobs and different categories and everything else. But, when you end it all out, it's essentially the same.”

The album "Has Been" owes more to Ben Folds than Shatner and is actually pretty good. That said I was a Pulp fan long before the cover came out so there's no saving me there.

AP called it, Hillary said "lol no", and then AP called her "the presumptive nominee".

This means that the media IS IN HILLARY'S POCKET

Isn't it all just kabuki? Sanders is going to "keep fighting" no matter what, and Clinton isn't going to say "we're done, we don't really need to campaign any harder" either. Both of them are going to push the narrative that it's still close enough to be worth fighting for until the very last second to keep the voters fired up and to maintain good optics.

You could point them to the articles from 2008 where the AP did the same poo poo they did yesterday and estimated that Obama was the presumptive and everyone reported that and HRC didn't concede for four more days.

Yep, everything about the article just seemed to be a stupid poo poo show that no one really should of cared about. Fortunately its a stupid poo poo show that should ends after the primary result.

I really hope Sanders drops out after this and it doesn't become a month and a half of stupidity about changing super delegates minds and what not.

I mean I would actually preferred if some how Sanders magically got 90% of the primary votes today and became the nominee without any fuss, but realistically the first.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

It's a weird feeling for me, seeing the GOP in such disarray. Growing up I started being aware of politics and just what Dems and GOP were about when Bush was coming into power. Before that it was the odd Clinton reference on Animaniacs. IT seemed like the GOP were the kings of staying on message and putting forth a unified front.

So after 8 years of Obama and now the Orange Plague, it's kinda odd to see them just collapse.

Veering dangerously toward primary chat though we seem to be, it's already clear that she has far more pledged delegates and votes than he does, much as I personally wish that weren't the case. And even if Sanders has a really strong showing today, it won't be enough to change that or flip any supers in numbers that would make a difference. I don't have a great record on these things, but I think he'll be out by the end of the week. Continuing on beyond that does more harm than good (and possibly already has unless they've had backchannel talks about it).

Staying in until DC votes are in probably wouldn't hurt, a bit pointless yes, but its only seven more days and you could argue there is a bit of symbolism in staying in till the end. In all likelihood though I do actually think he will declare himself out after the votes are finished counted today/tomorrow.

In other news Trump hasn't twitted anything in 13 hours. Is he dead? has he been kidnapped by liberal terrorist? when will this horrible twitter silence end, who knows!
