I thought it was weird too. Trump just shrugged his shoulders and said (paraphrasing) "Yes, that's it!" Simple concept, no need for a dissertation. I had to laugh at Rubio too, who offered tax credits for Americans to buy insurance...you know, like Obamacare. In fact when you read his plans (chock full of generic and empty promises like "promote innovation") it's quite similar to the ACA.

Anyway...Christie endorses Trump. Which to me is shocking, and kind of a big deal (We'll see how true that is I guess.) Also answers my earlier question in regards to his Veep and who would put their neck out there to get on the Trump bandwagon. Well now we know...

And I'll also say, as I said to James earlier, even if Trump wins the General, what does that really mean for the GOP? He doesn't represent them. He represents himself, whilst running on a pseudo-conservative platform. He doesn't play by their rules, scolds them for Iraq, says he wants universal healthcare, says he'll raise taxes on the wealthy, says he's against (in theory) super PACS, he's clearly not religious, says Planned Parenthood is a good thing for women (sans abortion) and has supported many liberal ideas/politicians even within the last few years (including Pelosi and Clinton.) How is this anything the Republican party can be happy about if he takes the White House? He's not going by their playbook now, and he sure as shit won't if he became POTUS. The establishment GOP get very little out of a Trump presidency.

I'm also curious who in the hell would be his running mate. I can't see a professional politician putting himself/herself out there to run as his Veep. The risk to their career would be too high. I would think it would have to be somebody with little to lose.

The rest of the country doesn't reside in the far right wing bubble. While some accusations have merit, the rest is unsubstantiated (after 13 investigations for instance) and hyperbolic hysteria served up to the right wing base. It works for that core constituency, but not for everybody else. Sometimes I wish Republicans would just turn off the media for a while, then honestly ask themselves if it's possible for every Democratic leader to be so inherently evil/dishonest/dismissive of the COTUS. Or if perhaps they're being whipped into a frenzy by an unending GOP media m machine. Any message wrapped in fear, or has the sole purpose of making you angry/afraid, should make you question the messenger(s.)

Back on the crack pipe with Robert Downey Jr. I see.
