Here’s the Deal / Updated
According to people who know these things, Republicans are really upset that Donald Trump is distracting from an edited and unfair videotape of a Planned Parenthood doctor.
In other words, Trump is hogging all the crazy.
I can see why that upsets them, because there’s a whole mess of crazy to pass around.
The same people who cheered him on when he was making wildbutt claims about President Obama’s birthplace are now mortified that he’s making wildbutt claims about them. They built him, and now they’re mad he’s behaving like they taught him?
The same damn people who sat silent when triple amputee Max Cleland was being ravished for his war record by a man who never served, or Tammy Duckworth was told to shuddup by that scum of a man Joe Walsh, or when triple purple heart recipient John Kerry was made fun of for his war wounds, those people — those same silent people are outraged, outraged I tell you, that Trump took on McCain. Those damn fools taught him how to do it and now whine when he does it.
And Lindsey Graham’s cellphone number? Oh give me a break – it’s written on every men’s bathroom wall between Mobile and Atlanta.
Donald Trump is nothing more than a build it yourself Republican.
They have earned him fair and square.
Thank you, I feel better now.
I guess I wasn’t the only one feeling this way —

Totally agree, but I think you want “savaged” instead of “ravished,” which would have more to do with the numbers on the men’s room walls.
1We all know that the Trumpet will do anything for money, right? So IMHO, the repugs are paying him to perform his outrageous antics for the media in an attempt to make the other repugnant idiots look sane. I think they got MORE than they paid for…but not WHAT they paid for!
2To join in on the fun, here’s a “Donald Trump insult generator” at Mother Jones. Enjoy!

3They didn’t just build Trump, they built that swarm of bottleflies that’ll vote for him.
4Glyn@1: Or ‘ravaged’.
5Remember, folks: If you are responding to any poll on the candidates, say you support Trump. We need for him to dominate the GOP field.
6Now they know how Dr. Frankenstein felt after his build went awry.
7The saddest thing about Trump is that it seems he really does get his feelings hurt when people aren’t lost in his adulation. That right there should stop his attempt at being a public servant (wait, Trump a servant????), because they are automatically going to be attacked by somebody.
Just a query for people that know Texas: Did Sandra Bland get pulled over in part because in IL they wouldn’t have bothered enforcing a lane change w/o turning signals, and did things go from bad to worse in part because in IL the police aren’t surprised when people act upset when they get pulled over for BS traffic enforcement. Is there more lenience/tolerance by traffic police outside of TX?
I think that *every* police officer should be put through the receiving end of harsh/abusive *physically excessive* treatment (including tasing) as a lesson of what NOT to do in the course of making an arrest. If these people were subjected to painful submission holds I’d love to know how compliant they would act.
And the same goes for Trump and all the other 1% clowns on the RWNJ bus: They should try living as a member of the underclass for a period to see how hollow the “bootstraps” theory is.
8I find it odd that they are accepting T-rump as awful and disgusting as he is, yet the rest of them have to be holier then thou to even be considered as a candidate.
9When is T-rump’s lack of religious fervor going to be a problem for Republicans or are we done with all the religiousity?
I bet God is going to be annoyed, he spent all that time telling all those other candidates that they were his chosen one to run for POTUS and all T-rump has to do is act like a tea bagger and he goes to the top of the list !!
Diane, don’t ask for trouble. Trump is already going for the Angry vote and the Foreigners Taking Over vote, and if he gets the Jesus vote too, he’ll be lined up for a fascist takeover. I’m serious. This is how Hitler got started.
TTPT, I thought it would be a generator of insults OF Trump, not BY Trump. But it still works if you type in Trump as the one you want to be insulted.
10Let’s back up and at least take a look at Trump and McCain as the Dallas Morning News told the story, which does have some validity. McCain called Trump out for stirring up the “crazies” which made Trump mad; so, he attacked McCain’s war record. Both of those men were reared in privileged homes, one military, the other focused on business success.
11John McCain was offered his freedom several times when N. Korea found out that his father was a high-ranking Admiral. But he refused his freedom, choosing to stand on principle and remain a prisoner. I am just a little bit nervous around people who are so high-minded. And while I don’t care for Trump’s politics or personality, I don’t care for McCain’s either. They can insult each other without causing me any grief at all. I do believe that if left alone, Trump may be the bomb that blows up the republican party, and that would please me right down to the ground.
T-rump has violated the Reagan Rule: never speak ill of another Republican. This is what really bugs them!
Poor babies!
12Diane –
Yeah, I’m waiting for the Fundies to catch on that this is not their guy. After his very flippant description of receiving Communion as “a little wine and a little cracker… and I feel cleansed”, they should realize he has no real faith, and can’t be bothered to even spew out the standard evangelical boilerplate.
Wouldn’t it be a tasty slice of irony if the religious loonies finally did something good for the country by scuttling the Donald?
13Cluck, cluck, cluck!
That sound you hear is the chickens coming home to roost. Except in this case, quack, quack, quack might be more appropriate.
I told my husband that this reminds me of those church dinners where everyone brings their crazy uncle and one of the village idiots makes the mistake of asking who wants to say the blessing…..
Which reminds me of a joke, “15 crazy uncles and one crazy aunt get on clown bus…..”
(Insert crazy here)
14Wright over at STonekettle has it all locked up in defining Rethugs. Totally great piece of writing!
