I'm listening to tRump's speech this morning. AMA.

[cali]

He looks very subdued. He's using a teleprompter. He's spouting about how great his business but in a much more low key way than at his rallies. Says only he can save us. Not Hillary. It's clear he's going for the whole bashing establishment pols and I'm the outsider. Everything is rigged by Hillary and her cohorts.

Begging for Bernie voters. fuck you asswipe.

"Yesterday, she even tried to attack me"

Here's the truth, I started out not so long ago with a small loan and built a business worth 10 billion. That's what I'll do for America.

As Mark Shields said a couple of weeks ago, Donald Trump on a teleprompter is about as thrilling as listening to someone read the yellow pages.

1. The lecturn should crack and split under the weight of irony

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. I think Trump will be out of the race

people are beginning to wake up

[cali]

12. Yeah, I no longer see him going the distance- unless things pick up for

him radically.

One bit of cogdis in all this is his faux support for the LGBT community after yesterday meeting with some of the most horrific anti-LGBT bigots in the country. Make that most of them.

[72DejaVu]

2. She didn't "try to attack" him

She strapped his ass with a leather belt and sent him to him room without supper.

[cali]

3. As I said, the lecturn should crack and split under the weight of irony

it's quite amazing from a psychological profile pov

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I know you are a sincere Sanders supporter....

I can't imagine how much Trump invoking him upsets you.

[cali]

6. he's so awful at this.

It's hard to get upset about it. He's such an unbelievable parody. I just can't get beyond that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. This would be a great speech to

CPAC.

I can't believe it will sway one opinion that wasn't swayed.

[cali]

14. It's just awful. You're right. It's a for the base speech.

What has upset me most in this speech isn't his using Bernie's words or trying for Bernie voters, it's the fucking cognitive dissonance of reaching out to the LGBT community after yesterday meeting with the most virulent homophobic fuckwads in the country.

It's so disgusting.

[geek tragedy]

4. not subdued, but rather "low energy" nt

[cali]

7. that's more accurate. He's ramping it up a bit now

but he really does suck at this.

[geek tragedy]

9. Hillary's team has already trolled him with the "low energy" line for his teleprompter speeches

he's either a spasmatic cave man or a low-t sleepwalker

[snooper2]

8. that fucking breathing is hilarious...every third one his lungs are like

NEED MORE AIR

[cali]

10. lol.

fear, fear, fear. deep breath. More fear.

Fuck the Donald.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. He is now at the point that the speech could have been given in a German beer hall circa 1932.

[cali]

16. Yes.

More like the twenties, (the beer hall putsch was very early in Hitler's career- 1925 I think) but yeah. He's a fucking Nazi pig.

I detest him so much.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. The whole "we have been stabbed in the back" thing

They should play Horst-Wessel-Lied at his rallies.

[cali]

21. It's the perfect tune for trump.

I know quite a bit about that era- and I have gotten into some pretty epic fights, both here and in other places about (mis)using the Hitler comparison. I have no problem comparing Trump the candidate with Hitler of the 20s and very early 30s.

[eastwestdem]

17. I heard a lot of promises, but no plans for implementation. Did I miss something? nt

[nolabear]

18. Maybe the part where Trump's a blowhard and makes crazy claims.

[cali]

19. I heard a lot of lies. I heard no solutions. I heard hate.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Small loan? $1 million and an established business from

dad, does not a self-made man make.
