Mark Morford: How to defeat Trump, King of the Trolls
sfgate ^ | August 11, 2015 4:44 PM | Mark Morford, Author, Columnist, ERYT500 yoga teacher, Admirer of trees

He speaks his mind, such as it is. Says whatever he wants. Jumps the rails of the standard narrative, blasphemes right inside the GOP’s own church (Fox News), demeans women and immigrants...

This is what his frothing minions love most, yes?...

If this were a parallel (and much better) universe, Trump could almost be seen as sort of a dream candidate, the kind of passionate...

Alas, we’re nowhere near there. We’re stuck right here.

This dream is, of course, more of a nightmare, a loud, vapid, sexist anti-vaxxer/birther egomaniac with about as much personal integrity and humanity as a feral hyena on too many whippits.

And therein lies the secret. Because this is what Trump really is, isn’t it? He’s the Troll King, a master of the baited insult, the bombastic taunt, the ideological middle finger, all resulting from years of crass deal-mongering, endless bloviation, whoring his name...

Isn’t it marvelous? He’s the GOP’s truest mirror, their darkest and most perfect creation, a frothy cocktail of Limbaugh, Koch, O’Reilly, Tea Party nutcase, sexist throwback, this guy,...snake venom. Even Fox News chairman Roger ‘Jabba the Hut’ Ailes kowtows...

Is it any wonder he rules the polls? At this point, Trump could sell bandanas to ISIS...

This is what his frothing minions love most, yes?...

Want to get rid of Trump, GOP? Stop attacking him as the bloviated, offensive egomaniac he very much is, and start planting rumors to the exact opposite. ...

Trump studies astrophysics in his spare time. Hangs out on yachts with gay...menswear designers,...

Simple, right? The instant his followers suspect he’s in any way deeply interesting, respectful, intellectually curious, Euro-stylish, kind to animals,...He’s out.

This is the GOP, after all. This is the extreme right. Xenophobia rules. Complex, nuanced humanity is simply not to be tolerated. You’re welcome.

It's an American dream, includes Indians too.

On a warm San Franciscan night.

LOL. Carson is a conservative! Comparing Ben Carson to Donald Trump is like comparing Johnny Carson to Dane Cook.

Whoa, hold up Nick.

As far as Sessions: No, No, No. There are worse senators than Sessions, but I wouldn't trust him farther than I can through him. He seems none to bright, and can be distracted by shiny objects. He'll vote for amnesty in a New York Minute. Which is even worse in Alabama.

Now let me get this straight, Sessions introduces an immigration plan that Trump embraces, and you say that Sessions will vote for amnesty?

So to extrapolate, are you saying that Sessions and Trump are pro-amnesty on the illegals issue?

There have been more than enough articles posted on FreeRepublic to satisfactorily explain exactly why those supporting Trump are immune to criticism of his past, and do so without heaping derision on them. Yet a small contingent insists on trying to insult their opinion into ascendancy.

This phenomena reminded me of a line from Ayn Rand:

"If we look at modern intellectuals, we are confronted with the grotesque spectacle of such characteristics as militant uncertainty, crusading cynicism, dogmatic agnosticism, boastful self-abasement and self-righteous depravity —in an atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom and of all-pervasive evasion.
This new phenomenon I have dubbed "evangelical cynicism." (not to be confuse with religious evangelism, but parallels do give one pause.)

So to those who have set for themselves the goal of spreading the gospel of cynicism: may your labors continue to reward you with the sour fruits they so richly deserve.

I have stated many times that trump is pro-amnesty, and so has he. He picked a campaign manager who is one of the biggest amnesty activists around.

Now, Sessions, he could vote against amnesty, but he could easily vote for it either. Either on purpose, or out of stupidity. No, I don't trust him. He may be good sometimes, but he's still a son of McConnell.

Sessions could possibly vote against amnesty, but he could vote for it too. First of all, I don’t trust any Republican on amnesty. They are all a slight breeze away from selling us out. All. Of. Them. Sessions may be slightly better than average, but he’s still too deep in McConnell’s pocket for me to trust him. By all means, I hope he does the right thing, but I wouldn’t trust him farther than I can throw him.

That is an interesting take on it Nick.

Something to ponder.

Heh! Morford of “Lightbringer” fame?? BWHAHAHA!! He’s still employed. Good for him. That will pay for the therapy he obviously needs.

Trump really has you twisted up, doesn’t he?

I should email MM and tell him that his little rant has switched me from Cruz to Trump.

That and to tell him to take a Midol.

Oh, the infamous “Lightbringer” Obama.
MM basically wrote a piece on how he wanted to have Obama’s children.

Fun fact:

After Trump b*-slapped Whore-Hey at that presser, SFGate ran the story and about 80% of the Comments sided with Trump.

Aside from the content, just horrible, dated over-the-top writing.

It reminds me of a couple of George Will pieces that I've seen lately...the same oh-I'm-so-clever style.
