It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.
Flynn is seriously lacking in self awareness

quote:

FLYNN: I think his view of the world and his view of where America was, and where it needed to be. I got the impression this was not a guy who was worried about Donald Trump, but a guy worried about the country. I don’t think people can BS me that easily, and I was sort of looking for that. I found him to be in line with what I believed.
...
PRIEST: Why would you go on RT, they’re state run?

FLYNN: Well, what’s CNN?

PRIEST: Well, it’s not run by the state. You’re rolling your eyes.

Also, not sure he should be highlighting this.

I thought he was taking extreme positions on immigration to appeal to the Republican base for the primary and that he would soften and ultimately abandon those positions in the general election. I never thought he would be stupid enough to actually keep pressing for that nonsense this long or that he actually believed in it. It made sense at the time. I thought he actually wanted to win.

and isn't it just fascinating that it was only once he brought the racism guns to bear on someone with money that the treacherous thought "what if he actually means what he says" crossed your mind.

when he called a whole nation drug dealers and rapists, promised to deport eleven million people, build a wall to keep them out, and force another country to pay for it, you cooed over how marvelous it was he was unbeholden to special interests.

and then he called a judge biased.

yeah, I can see why you'd find that last one crazier than the first bunch.

This isn't 2000. You cannot walk anything you say of the magnitude he did, back. The Southern Strategy is proving to be the Achilles heel for the GOP during Presidential years.

They can never again walk it back.

They need to admit that half their voting block is basically a diseased appendix.

You can't practice a shouting match or trading insults with a schoolyard bully, or even calm reasoned responses to insane bullshit untethered from reality. It doesn't matter what Hillary does in the first debate, the media is going to declare Trump the winner.

That's such a good picture of Trump. He looks disgusting. It's like his skin drapes directly down from his chin, but because of the suit and tie pulling it back it almost looks humanioid.

I recognize this pattern. Start with the regular professional stuff, Then you start digging in and looking for specific ones you like, then amateur polling, then japanese polling, then there's a split gate where some people look for BBC polling, some look for S&M polling, or like bodily fluid polling, and then they all come back together in the end with a bunch of stepsibling/parent polling while everyone looks around like "I didn't ask for this, did you?"

Someone did. Trump fumbled badly.

Would be interesting to quiz him again now though, to see if he's actually bothered to learn anything since then.
