Trump Misogynists feeling good, Empowered:

Rampant Republican misogyny, like racism, is coming out of the shadows, and we can thank "The Incredible Trump" for that.

Remember the outrageous "Hillary shimmy" after Trump's angry out-of-control tirade about his outstanding temperament?



Fox News' opinion writer Todd Starnes summed up how America felt about this:

I wish there was bipartisan agreement demanding Trump never sniffle into his mic again. I was amused by the failed attempt by the media to make something out of this possible sign of cocaine addiction...ah, I didn't mean to suggest he's hooked on drugs, I'm just bring it up...like Trump:

During the debate, Trump's frequent sniffling was a widely discussed topic on social media, giving rise to the hashtag #Trumpsniffle on Twitter. In a TV interview with "Fox and Friends" the following morning, Trump denied being sick, saying "No, no sniffles, no cold," according to Reuters.

"It could be almost anything," said Dr. Alan Mensch. When asked about his sniffling, Trump brought up a technical issue rather than a medical one. "The mike was very bad, but maybe it was good enough to hear breathing,” he told "Fox and Friends."

Trump never said why he had the sniffles, an actual tell tale sign of cocaine use. As important as this could be, we would never want to beat this possibility into the ground like Clinton's "shimmy" or involuntary convulsive tremors.

It's a Mans World: The MIC's Mitch Hank got a few revealing calls from men who weren't shy about their conservative family values and the place woman should have in a mans world:

Caller Paul: "I say Trump take off the gloves, and plow into her. And, and to all the people that say oh, she's a women, you gotta treat her...no, you women out there, you wanna (inaudible) in a mans world..." 

Or this...

Caller George: "He (Trump) kept his calm, they were waiting for him just to blow up, she was edging (egging) him on, wanting to show the nutty guy, the crazy guy, the sexist pig. He's a real guy!"

Mitch: "Why did he keep lowering himself into the mic, when the mic could have picked him up. He did the 29 interruptions?"

Caller George: "Because he's not a professional...he's not a smooth politician." 

Or this...

Caller Dave: "The Wicked Witch of the East comes out and says, one down and two to go, she's cockin' off...she's the new "Pokeman" (Pokemon) for the game in Japan, so that's what they said about her (laughing)."

Mitch: "Dave are you aware of the rampant misogynist rhetoric you are engaging in..."

Caller Dave: "I don't care, she brings it on herself."  

Trump? Surely he Jests.

Listening to radio announcers and TV pundits analyze the content of Hillary Clinton’s speeches and policy details ignores the fact that we’re comparing something…to nothing.

We think we’re so smart discussing the issues, like there are two sides to compare. 

Instead, what we have is an actual political candidate standing next to...a court jester. And we seem oblivious to just how absurd this whole thing really is.

In what’s turning out to be a real life version of the movie “Idiocacy,” for gods sake, Trump the "candidate" spews nothing but shear lunacy:

Trump’s Politifact Score: 4% true / Clinton Score: 23% true.

Trump’s Politifact Score: 35% False and 18% Pants on Fire / Clinton Score: 11% False and 2% Pants on Fire.

Trump had a combined 53% False rating, and we're not even including Mostly False. Wow, and Hillary's the "liar."

An article onCNBC I think revealed what’s really behind Trump's success; Sales Puffery. Jake Novak, CNBC.com senior columnist wrote this:

It's called "puffing," and that is the official term that legally protects salespeople and businesses from making boastful claims about their products and services that no one really expects to be provable by empirical facts …(like) Budweiser calling itself the "king of beers." Trump's natural state is building up his brand and properties in a way that would make a used car salesman blush. The public is used to it and accepts it just as we accept that used car salesman boasting about the 2005 SUV he's pushing. 

And Trump is helping achieve this result by making sure he maintains his salesman's image for as long as possible. Every time Trump mixes his salesman persona into the political arena he immediately puts himself into that less scrutinized salesman's role. It's why he gave the news conference at his new golf course in Scotland, it's why he talks so much about how he's still running his businesses, and it's why he launched his campaign from Trump Tower.

Hillary Clinton's one and only image in the public mind is that of a politician. We don't look at her in any other context. Not only are politicians held to a higher truth-telling standard than salespeople, we don't even focus on their policies all that much to balance what they say. For the most part, politicians are what they say and salespeople are what they sell. It's the best way to understand why Trump gets away with some much of what he says. Ultimately, that's not his product.

Compared to the tough scrutiny his fellow Republican candidates and Clinton endure, the salesman standard is better. And that's why people like John King are getting played and they don't even know how much they've been played. Political reporters are not like financial journalists or consumer watchdogs, and they're certainly not experts in psychological warfare. This is why they not only don't understand Trump's appeal, it's why all their efforts to scrutinize and fact check him out of the race have failed.

You have to check out the TV series "BrainDead," with reruns on Amazon Prime and OnDemand. The show plays on today's politics, featuring clips of both Clinton and Trump, along with ant-like aliens that destroys peoples brains turning them into stark raving Republicans.

The Incredible Trump "Says He Wanted to 'Hit a Couple of Speakers So Hard!" and so much More.....

This would be funny if Trump voters weren't so invested in this blunt talking reality show thug:

"You know what I wanted to. I wanted to hit a couple of those speakers so hard," Trump said. "I would have hit them. No, no. I was going to hit them, I was all set and then I got a call from a highly respected governor."

"I was gonna hit one guy in particular, a very little guy," he said. "I was gonna hit this guy so hard his head would spin and he wouldn't know what the hell happened."

Maybe this whole Trump phenomenon comes down to something this simple:

When it came to Donald Trump, Clinton went for the jugular — his Twitter feed. The remark was deemed the "most-tweeted moment" of the evening by Twitter's Government & Elections team.

Trump proved Clinton right with his reaction to the RNC's  lower ratings:

DNC Beats RNC for Third Straight Night in Early TV Ratings...

Early ratings results for Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention are in, and once again the DNC appears to have beat out the Republican National Convention. Donald Trump sent an e-mail to his supporters urging them not to watch Hillary Clinton deliver her nomination acceptance speech on the final night of the Democratic convention.

“I didn’t produce our show — I just showed up for the final speech on Thursday,” Trump told The New York Times in a phone call this week.
Trump actually broke with tradition by making multiple appearances during the Cleveland convention, coming on stage to introduce his wife Melania on the convention's opening night and appearing onstage with running mate Mike Pence, who followed Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) non-endorsement speech on the convention's third night.  His claim that he had no hand in the convention programming was also eyebrow-raising, given that campaigns typically dictate the speaker roster and many of the RNC speakers had direct ties to Trump. Among those were five members of the Trump family, the manager of Trump Winery and ‘80s sitcom star Scott Baio, who said Trump personally invited him to speak at a campaign fundraiser.
