We generally try to avoid getting political around here, or voicing our direct affiliations, but fuck if I’m not loving this Trump campaign. Could it eventually flame out? Sure, but the ride is going to be hard, fast and oh-so sweet for bloggin’ content. Shit, I might even vote for the bastard. I’m nutty like that. I’m also of the opinion that we can’t do much worse as a country as we are right now, so might as well go down swinging before we’re all fighting to get to the front of the line to be on the next spaceship to Mars.
Anyway, Rand Paul released the video below two days ago, which shows Donald Trump saying how much he identifies with Democratic party. The Mr Rogers’ puppet is obviously threatened by Trump and knows that his only chance to be noticed in this race is to directly attack him and win over the people who hate him. It’s not going to work. Why? Because have you looked at Rand Paul? He looks like the kid in your neighborhood who would immediately bring his mother into every conflict. A fucking thumbsucker.
Obviously, Trump wasn’t going to take the high road and ignore this attack ad. OBVIOUSLY. Donny T didn’t become a huge success by taking the high road. The high road is for losers, not huge successes that are huge and fantastic. Did I mention huge? Got to make sure.
So how did Trump respond? How anyone dealing with the neighborhood tattletale responds…by egging his fucking house. In this case, Trump egging Paul’s house equals talking about that time he golfed with Paul and beat him easily. He beat him like the total loser he is.
According to the Washington Post:
Rand Paul is doing so poorly in the polls he has to revert to old footage of me discussing positions I no longer hold. As a world-class businessman, who built one of the great companies with some of the most iconic real estate assets in the world, it was my obligation to my family, my company, my employees and myself to maintain a strong relationship with all politicians whether Republican or Democrat. I did that and I did that well.
Recently, Rand Paul called me and asked me to play golf. I easily beat him on the golf course and will even more easily beat him now, in the world in the politics.
Senator Paul does not mention that after trouncing him in golf I made a significant donation to the eye center with which he is affiliated.
Rand’s campaign is a total mess, and as a matter of fact, I didn’t know he had anybody left in his campaign to make commercials who are not currently under indictment!
This isn’t exactly Bloodgazi (that’s what I’m calling the Megyn Kelly incident, feel free to adopt the name), but I think we all know that more is to come. I, for one, cannot wait.
