2016: Finally Some Sanity

There are way too many normally rational people that are taking Trump seriously……..he has done nothing to lead me to believe that he is anything but a self-promoting toad.

It is people like this douche that is destroying the American political system and turning it into a joke around the world.

I cannot believe the number of people that are taking Trump’s immigration BS as some sort of truth…….all he does is throw grenades with the hope that one will land and get him the attention that he cannot live without……

Even the media is treating him like he is some sort of candidate that has a chance at the nomination…….he does NOT!

At least one news source has come to its mind and and has shown that there is some sanity left in news reporting……..

Donald Trump may be at or near the top in the latest GOP polls, but you’ll no longer find him in the Huffington Post’s political section. The site announced today that coverage of the Trump campaign is moving to the entertainment section. “Our reason is simple: Trump’s campaign is a sideshow. We won’t take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.” The decision, however, doesn’t seem to be going over well:

  • Wrong: At the journalism site Poynter.org, James Warren thinks the move is “especially dubious in an era where the nexus of entertainment and politics is often quite obvious and growing.” Buffoon or not, Trump has clearly “touched some nerve of dissatisfaction” among voters. He wonders, too, whether HuffPo has heard of other celebs-turned-politicians like Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. And how on earth will it cover the debates?
  • Ditto: “Cute but shortsighted,” writes Allahpundit at Hot Air. “Do they really want to end up stuck running their stories about President Trump’s inauguration in the sideboob vertical?” More seriously, the post notes that the “Trump boomlet” is a “real, fascinating thing” worth covering.
  • Hypocritical: “Huffington Post is taking the bait, because they’re continuing to cover Trump and will continue to benefit from the clicks,” writes Dylan Byers at Politico. In fact, “one might conclude that Huffington Post’s announcement amounts to the same Trump-style grandstanding they claim to condemn.”
  • But what if…:Business Insider asked HuffPo’s Ryan Grim what the site will do if Trump wins. No problem: “He will not,” says Grim. “I’m as likely to get it as he is.”

Byers adds that hours after its announcement, HuffPo sent out a clarifying email acknowledging Trump’s impact on the GOP and the immigration debate “is itself a real thing” and will be covered “as substance, but anything that tumbles out of his mouth will land on the Entertainment page.”

It is painful to see people repeat the utter crap that Trump spouts…….hopefully the rest of you will come to your senses…….please treta Trump like the piece of crap he is……..he deserves nothing but ridicule.

I would not even give him the entertainment thing……the comics is a better place to cover his “campaign”…….or perhaps in the “Help Wanted” section……

  1. “Do they really want to end up stuck running their stories about President Trump’s inauguration in the sideboob vertical?”

    LOL! Do these people take themselves seriously. The 18% approval rating Trump is getting comes primarily from the Jade Helm crowd. People who should be read about on the mental section of HuffPost

      1. Agreed, but what is the long-game here? Could it be he’s setting Jeb up to look halfway “normal” and therefore “appealing” against Hillary or Sanders? Are these people even capable of thinking in such a long-term way?

      2. Personally, I think he i just padding his resume….he knows he has NO chance of winning anything but wanker of the month…….Trump thinks about nothing but Trump…..just listen to him….he has NO policies only hand grenades for the press…..he will dim in the months to come when people are paying attention…..

  2. I can’t understand how anyone can take him seriously – or any one of them. They’re holding on to the circus train for their exciting ride. All those running are clowns anyway. What a giant farce. The GOP is falling apart. Someone should be constructing some sort of platform. Have they all lost their marbles?

    1. So far all they have is gimmicks….like a wood chipper or some ego-centric toad that is self-promoting….no policies…..
