John Oliver(HBO) to Trump - Drop Out, Tell America This Campaign Was a Stunt, Become A Legend
RCP ^ | 8-22-2016 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 08/23/2016 3:37:29 PM PDT by tcrlaf

HBO's Last Week Tonight host John Oliver pitches a new idea to Donald Trump: Avoid losing to Hillary Clinton by dropping out of the race for president now.

"I know you're watching," he said. "Because you watch everything that is said about you."

“You’re either going to win or you’re going to lose, and I think both those scenarios end pretty badly for you,” Oliver told the GOP presidential nominee on his HBO series Sunday. “I would like to propose to you a third option and that is, drop out. Simply drop out and tell America this entire candidacy was a stunt.”

"Just think about how triumphant it would feel to say on national television: 'I openly ran on a platform of impossibly ignorant proposals steeped in racial bigotry, and nobody stopped me. In fact, you embraced me for it! What the fuck was that about?’” he said. "That would be one of the most powerful political speeches of all time.”

"You would not be a loser,” Oliver begged Trump. "You would be a legend."

The Left is going COMPLETELY NUTZ as they begin to realize that Trump isn't falling, that he actually could defeat Hillary, despite everything they are doing to help her win.

Trump isn’t dropping out, he’s in the lead...and just getting warmed up too

Hilliary, on the other hand, may have to drop out (for any of several obvious reasons)... so we’d better learn as much as we can (and Mr. Trump had better be thoroughly vetting and getting ready to run against) Mr. What’s His Name, the guy Hilliary selected as her VP

John Oliver can shove it.

I am sick of the news media, the Democrats (but I repeat myself) and the song & dance crowd telling me that Hitlery is the better choice.

I really do hope Trump wins and goes on to work with a Republican Congress to reverse all the damage Valerie’s man child has done since 2009.

Mr. Trump can become a LEGEND w/o backing out or backing down. HE IS A LEGEND at the moment and can only solidify that notion as time rolls by. No politician has ever done what he has with the possible exception of Pres. R. Reagan. How every politician must envy the man. Have a drink, it's on the house.

TRUMP must TRiUMPh

He's a comedian. He's doing a comedy bit. Obviously he hates Trump, and wants his audience to do the same, but it's not something one can take very seriously.

John Oliver is a globalist. Trump doing this would be his dream for more than one reason. He is an elitist that thinks everyone else is stupid, so this whole thing would fit into one of his dreams.

I wish I could agree with you, to think that the average American is smarter than this, but I can’t. The last 10 years have proven that.

Some loudmouth #### with an english accent, I think, on late late night tv

This new crop makes Leno look ultra right wing.

John Oliver: Go to the top of the Empire State Building. Jump. Leave a note saying that this was your final stunt. You will be a legend. And once the hazmat fee for cleanup is removed from your Social Security death benefit check, your heirs can have a nice dinner.
