I promised to eat my column if Trump was nominated. What goes well with newsprint?

Six months ago, I made a reckless vow. With Donald Trump dominating in polls, I said I’d eat a column — 18 column inches of toxic newsprint, wood-pulp, ink and all — if Trump won the Republican presidential nomination.

My rationale: “Americans are better than Trump,” and Republican primary voters wouldn’t nominate “a candidate who expresses the bigotry and misogyny that Trump has.”

his prediction still looks viable. More than 60 percent of Republican primary voters have rejected Trump so far, and there’s a decent chance Republicans can at least force the nationalist demagogue into a contested convention. They know his racism and xenophobia would be a recipe for disaster.

But, to be safe, I am in search of other recipes. With the help of one of the capital’s great chefs — and seeking the guidance of you, the reader — I am taking the prudent step of preparing to eat my words in case Trump secures the nomination.

Will give the over/under at 100, as to how many Dana Milbank's Bezos is going to fire at WaPo on Sat-Sun, Jan. 21-22, 2017 - the weekend after Trump is inaugurated.

Hell, if I could I'd hold an online 50/50 raffle with half to winner and half to JimRob; do it square calendar style, and let everyone pick a day that Bezos cleans out the ComPost. I'll take Jan. 21 - the Bald One be burying that shzz on a Saturday.

Maybe afterwards Dana could hook up with Amanda Carpenter and launch "DivideByZero.com" or "Journalistism.com"...

Dog crap, the warmer the better. Put it in between the layers of newsprint.

Hey Dana, I’d suggest coating it with a layer of horsesh*t, since you’ve made so many other people swallow it with your bilious writing already.
