    Heard somebody else describe it as he might be getting ready to run as a candidate for the next presidential election.

    I could see him as trying to appeal to red states by trashing on immigrants. its been proven to be effective with the current administration and I can most definitely see him using that momentum to get his shoe in with some voters.

          Democrats learned from their mistake in 2008, allowing a younger person to enter the race and not tip the scales. They made sure to never let anything unplanned happen ever again. As long as I have been able to vote, I haven’t had a fair primary for the party that is closest to my views on the nation level.

          Republicans didn’t really expect Trump, and they liked that he drove in viewers with his batshit insane rants about Mexico. He brought in viewers and water cooler talk about “Did you see him talk about his dick at the debates?” The RNC rolled with the punches of Trump’s lunacy.

          Doesn’t help the media gravitated to him, giving him free press coverage. No such thing as bad news for fascists, after all. And while the media gave free attention to Trump, they somehow never covered Bernie when he was winning states and popularity votes, especially when he was more likely to defeat Trump in a 1v1.

          Just… “funny” how the media focused on fascism and ignored the person who wanted to make fascism unviable.
