Trump Goes Full-Out Nativist and Populist

We've now seen the plan for the 2020 Trumplican presidential campaign. Prepare for an onslaught of hooded racism, bogeyman claims, and attacks on anything and everything that is not Trump-like.

It's gonna get ugly.

We really must do that, you know. We can, too, if we have the will and put that will to work.

One of my biggest heartaches is the damage done to the country’s standing. Some of it will take many years to regain.
But harder to wrap my head around is the massive number of soulless imbeciles who have not only crawled out from under rocks, but have become the horrifyingly ugly and vocal face of America, everywhere.

It magnifies a serious and reeking stain existing in our country that must be removed, yes. But at such a hideous price. It motivates us to fight and permanently change the ugliness yes...

It’s just sometimes debilitatingly heartbreaking.

None other than Charles Kirk. I couldn’t believe he was the first speaker and when I heard that line I knew where this was going.

Kimmy, Donny Junior's current squeeze, gave a classic barn-burning populist speech, too. In fact, everyone was pumping Trump as hard as they could. What will it all come to?

Yeah, THAT was okay for release.

When she walked out my wife said (totally by impulse) “My God, she looks like a prostitute”.
