Too little, too late, Washington Compost.

Trump isn’t Sarah Palin : a relative unknown about whom people form their impressions by reading your articles telling them what to think about her...

He’s *THE DONALD*. The “YOU’RE FIRED!” guy. Everyone from the Manhattanites to the low-information-voter crowd has heard of him; knows he’s richer than God; but they give him a free ride on that, because he did it on real estate, and not by hiring H1-Bs and Mexicans to replace Americans.

And he’s coming out and saying out loud, the things that everyone knows but fear they’ll get fired for saying. And when the press tries to play “Gotcha!” with him, instead of tucking his tail between his legs and whizzing all over himself in panic, he goes all New Yorker and turns the tables on them, shoving it up *the press’s* ass for a change.

If only the GOP had been honest, Trump would never had had an opportunity to exploit.

But whether through cowardice, slavery to K-street and internationalists and large corporations, or being blackmailed by Obama’s minions (remember Denny Hastert?)...the GOP not only wasted two consecutive congressional landslides, not only lied through their foul TEETH about how they’d roll back spending, not only lost on innumerable procedural and social issues, force acceptance of gay marriage with an “in your FACE!” display of rainbow lights on the White House within hours, but openly let the IRS get used as attack dogs on Republicans and Tea Parties...and the guilty parties skate. And the Secretary of State openly violated Federal Law by having official emails on a private server in her house, and the doors were thrown open for illegal immigrants. And radical Islamists committed mass killings on US soil, *after* 9-11, ...on freakin’ MILITARY BASES.

But that wasn’t enough. No, you managed to let Mr. Shuck-and-Jive Muslim race hustler communist mantled pussy-whipped metrosexual, all but HAND Iran — IRAN!!! — nuclear weapons on a silver platter. And you willingly threw away your Constitutional RESPONSIBILITY to use “advise and consent” on treaties, instead neutering yourself with an “after the fact” law that required you to create out of thin air, a veto-proof majority, in a vain attempt to “undo” a fait accompli.

And now? NOW? Yes, it’s all clear. “Vote Republican, because we’re not ALL as racist as the Tea Partiers. Some of us even married illegal aliens, and some of us may even have diddled teenaged boys (Hastert?)”

“And by the way, can you contribute just $200 to our victory fund, to help keep Obama from being re-elected?”

If it is true that we can know a man by his enemies, we know this much about Donald Trump, his enemies include:

1. The Republican establishment.
2. Illegal immigrants.
3. The media.

So far so good but what about these enemies:

1. POWs?
2. Mexicans?

That is not so good. What about these friends:

1. The Democrats who were in the party when he was a Democrat?
2. The abortionists when he was in favor of abortion?
3. The Libertarians when he was in favor of legalizing drugs?
4. The occupy movement when he was in favor of taxing the wealthy?
5. Those who wanted to impose background checks and ban assault weapons?
6. Liberals who, like him, believed in universal health care?
7. Hillary Clinton when he supported her and funded her?

I like Donald Trump for (most of) his enemies but I'm a little bit nervous about being his friend.

He didn’t jump the shark-he is the shark.

That’s okay.

Maybe the LIVs will get curious about him now.

"Donald Trump jumps the shark"

That's okay, because he's taking Hillary down with him.

On Friday, the Huffington Post announced that it would no longer cover Mr. Trump as part of its 2016 GOP presidential primary coverage. Instead, it was moving him to the entertainment section.

The low information crowd only reads entertainment sections. They're actually giving Trump a boost.

I feel for anybody supporting Rick Perry.

Watching him trip over all of those “big words” somebody wrote for him when he condemned Trump today was pretty embarrassing.

The guy appears to be slow, a low IQ type.

[Cry if I Wanna]

If Trump were smarter I’d like him. But I’m only attracted to men who can think and articulate without being boorish or sophomoric. Trump appeals to the little people. Good for them if it helps them feel like they are participating.

[dennisw]

All this talk that Trump is a buffoon and will bail from the race at anytime. This motivates Trump to stay in the race and get more focused.

So good luck all you hip know it alls who say Trump is a flash in the pan. Trump needs a food taster and excellent security. Too many nasty parties want him out and will do anything because billions are at stake in Washington DC deals and corruption and Trump would clean up too much of this

Might want to drop Steel a note, I did when this first came out!

Nah, he didn’t jump the shark. He FIRED the shark.

[proust]

Trump needs to create a moat along the southern border and fill it with sharks with frikin’ lasers on their heads.

[justa-hairyape]

No, no. It is now Jump the Moore. A very difficult task. Much larger than a shark and just as hungry. So when Michael Moore finally gets off the couch and attacks Trump, the attack Trump movement will have the officially Jumped the Moore.

> “The incident has sparked universal outrage. It shouldn’t. Trump for President is a midsummer special that fills the void while serious presidential contenders are on summer hiatus. The next president is busy raising money and building a grass-roots operation, not seeking another headline.”

No, the next President is not just raising money and building grass-roots, they are more interested this week in qualifying for the first debates coming in the next weeks.

[DoughtyOne]

By my calculations, if Trump can jump the shark just three more times, he’ll be over 50%.

Thanks Washington Times & the Huffers...

The Donald for Prez and Ted Nugent as his VP!

[HannibalThaddeusBeauregardIV]

I just wonder why so many supposed Conservatives/conservatives are trying to undermine Trump. Ordered to do so by their masters at the RNC?

[mad_as_he$$]

This is so last Monday.

[longtermmemmory]

notice how the polling reports have suddenly gone silent.

the dominant media is praying for a sharknado but only receiving cans of whoopass.

This is just fun watching the useless media sobbing like little children.
