Brian Fallon~ It's true!

*************************************************************************

Donald Trump’s speech introducing Mike Pence showed why he shouldn’t be president

snip//

So there we were. Waiting for Trump and Pence to emerge. And what Rolling Stones song did the campaign choose? What did we all hear, over and over again, as we waited for Trump to introduce Mike Pence, his "first choice from the start!"?

"You can’t always get what you want..."

Now back to Mike Pence...

What started as farce continued as farce. Trump emerged without Pence. He spoke, alone, at a podium adorned with Trump’s name, but not Pence’s. And then Trump proceeded to talk about himself for 28 minutes. There is no other way to say this than to say it: it was the single most bizarre, impulsive, narcissistic performance I have ever seen from a major politician.

snip//

Every five minutes or so, he seemed to remember, just for a moment, like a man trying and failing to wake from a dream, that he was there to introduce Mike Pence, and so he would say something like, "now back to Mike Pence," but then he would slip back again, and tell another anecdote about himself.

Even when he did mention Pence, he often managed to say exactly the wrong thing. "One of the big reasons I chose Mike is party unity, I have to be honest," Trump admitted midway through his speech, at the moment another candidate would have said "I chose Mike because he’ll be a great president." Trump then segued into a riff on how thoroughly he had humiliated the Republican establishment in state after state. Thus he managed to turn Pence from a peace offering into a head on a pike, a warning to all who might come after.

16. K&R.

Why should expect anything but another ego trip from Trump? I don't know how much of the GOP convention I will be able to stomach next week. Don't get me wrong--I'm accustomed to the lying and the pandering, but listening to Trump is truly nauseating.

[Cha]

19. I can imagine how nauseating it would be..

I had food poisoning a couple of weeks ago.. first time and it was the worst! TMI.. sorry!

I get sick just looking a him.. I mostly read what others have to say about him.

Thank you, TexasT!

[zappaman]

17. kick. n/t

[Cha]

20. Mahalo, zappa!

[TexasTowelie]

18. Another narrative about the announcement:

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, did what most newly anointed Republican running mates do: He praised the man at the top of the ticket for picking him, he expressed gratitude to family and God, and he got in a few biographical details and lines of attack against his general election opponent.

Donald Trump introduced his choice of vice presidential candidate by offering a narrative about his experience with Pence. But more often than that, he veered off into his own thoughts about the campaign, his Old Post Office development in Washington, Bobby Knight, and the attempted coup in Turkey. "So many friends in Turkey," Trump said.

The primary reason he wanted Pence, Trump said, was his ability to bring down Indiana's unemployment rate -- "other than he looks really good."

The rollout of the running mate is typically the turning point for the campaign -- carefully crafted and scripted. Why should Trump be expected to follow those rules of the road?

[Cha]

21. Thank you for that, TT.. I don't imagine that's going to be

My how things have changed.. the 3 1/2 %er is now the top clown.. and pence is out getting fitted for one right now.

Like stopbush said.. "it's funny 'cause it's true"!

I would have been back sooner but my internet went out.. thankfully all I had to do was turn it off and unplug it! Yay!

Mahalo, SunSeeker

[SunSeeker]

27. I was in Lahaina two weeks ago and the big fire there took out the internet.

And the phones, and the electricity. For hours.

Glad yours was just a hiccup.

[Cha]

31. Lahaina, wow! Lucky you guys to be there.. not so much fun to be without our

social communication devices!

I didn't know about the fire.. was it very close to you?

Lahaina Fire Causes Evacuations

LAHAINA, Maui (KHNL) - Maui officials say a brush fire that started at 12:27 PM Tuesday in Lahaina was 90% contained late in the afternoon.

A total of 180 acres were burned on vacant land mauka of the Lahaina Aquatic Center.

45 firefighters were on scene aided by 3 helicopters, 6 water tankers and 4 bulldozers.

Ka Hale A Ke Ola Homeless Resource Center ordered an evacuation of its residents at their Lahaina site, Na Hale O Wainee, about an hour after the fire started.

County buses were dispatched to transport residents to an American Red Cross shelter at the Lahaina Civic Center.

The Red Cross shelter closed in the late afternoon when fire officials deemed it safe for residents to return to Na Hale O Wainee.

Honoapiilani Highway remained open throughout the incident. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/6744904/lahaina-fire-causes-evacuations

Yeah, I'm always grateful when the internet goes back up out here in the middle nowhere!

[SunSeeker]

32. I'm talking about the big July 2 fire.

http://khon2.com/2016/07/02/massive-brush-fire-pushed-by-high-winds-breaks-out-in-west-maui/

That July 2 fire shut down the Honoapiilani Highway (the only road in and out of Lahaina), melted the fiber optic cable to Lahaina and cut off electricity.

But hey, there are worse things than being stranded in Lahaina!

[Cha]

33. omg! 6000 acres as opposed to 180 acres.. whoa!

Another fire only worse.. So glad no one was hurt.. evidently. You didn't have to go to a shelter did you?

Ah, the trade winds made it so bad..



"...melted the fiber optic cable to Lahaina and cut off electricity."

Sounds like they got it back pretty fast considering.

I trust you had a good time on your vacay and quite the adventure.. Bless the firemen!

[SunSeeker]

35. Great vacay. It was good to unplug, so to speak.

[cosmicone]

25. Mike Pence is starting to look like a guy whose goose is cooked--LOL!

He was polling poorly in his gubernatorial race, so he jumps ship from that potential failure to take one for the RNC team by running with/riding herd on Trump. But even that won't earn him any love!

[Cha]

29. Surely he knows he's in for the ride of his life @ his expense?!

[Surya Gayatri]

34. That 28 min. screed could be used by medical schools as a textbook illustration of this:

_____Narcissistic personality disorder_____

Definition
By Mayo Clinic Staff

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.


Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic Staff

If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may feel a sense of entitlement — and when you don't receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — for instance, the best car, athletic club or medical care.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/basics/definition/con-20025568

________________________________________
This charade has gone beyond even a sick joke. Trump is dangerously mentally unstable and must never be allowed anywhere near the levers of power.

What a damning indictment that a major political party would nominate this precarious personality for the presidency.

The Republican Party must NEVER be allowed to "disremember" this moment of historically feckless and craven political malpractice.

[Cha]

39. Thank you for that definition of Narcissistic personality disorder..

this sounds exactly like him. And, he has tons of money to advance his quest to be king of the world.

This is who Hillary has to take down! The first woman POTUS to be and This is her assignment.. to slay the ultimate egomaniac.. metaphorically speaking.

[Her Sister]

37. I watched! Must've been the awful-est way to introduce the world to the VP pick

Trump pretty much ran out of the stage when Pence appeared. The two families were awkward as heck together. Trump was a weirdo extraordinaire. Trump wanted it to be obvious that he doesn't like Pence, his VP pick. Trump thinks of himself as fabulous & does not think that Pence has the cache to reflect back his awesomeness. Trump is into looks & superficial crap.

Trump against stuff that Pence is not! Nafta, Iraq War.... LOL!

Cannot believe that I felt bad for Pence! Out of place before the intro, during & after! FAIL!

Yet, good for US! So YAY!!!

[Cha]

40. I guess that's why trump was scurrying around desperately

trying to learn if it were too late to change his mind after he chose him!

Maybe he didn't want a puppet after all! Who would stand up to trump, though.. jeb? mitt?

pence has had to back track on many things he stood for .. except his hatred of GLBT and Women.. trump's down with that..

and, yes, Trump's steaks and his new hotel he was touting during his supposed introduction got way more attention than Pence. The crowd must have been maybe 10 people as the applause was so muted, no hoopla at all.

Totally bizarre!

[Cha]

57. Thanks for watching so we don't have to.. lol.. It's been reported that trump was

corralling people off the street to fill up the seats for his big "VP" announcement.. all very last minute.

Ezra Klein gave a great description of the whole bizarre event.. or non event as the case may be.

"Thus he managed to turn Pence from a peace offering into a head on a pike, a warning to all who might come after."

58. Watching it was purely accidental, lol...
