Keith Olbermann: I can’t stand to live in a Trump building anymore
Washington Post ^ | March 8, 2016 | Keith Olbermann

Posted on 03/08/2016 2:59:30 PM PST by TroutStalker

Okay, Donnie, you win.

I’m moving out.

Not moving out of the country — not yet anyway. I’m merely moving out of one of New York’s many buildings slathered in equal portions with gratuitous gold and the name “Trump.” Nine largely happy years with an excellent staff and an excellent reputation (until recently, anyway) — but I’m out of here.

I’m getting out because of the degree to which the very name “Trump” has degraded the public discourse and the nation itself. I can’t hear, or see, or say that name any longer without spitting. Frankly, I’m running out of Trump spit.

And, yes, I’m fully aware that I’m blaming a guy with the historically unique fashion combination of a cheap baseball cap and Oompa Loompa makeup for coarsening politics even though, out of the two of us, I’m the one who has promulgated a “Worst Persons in the World” list for most of the past decade. That’s how vulgar this has all become. It’s worse even than Worst Persons.

This is the campaign of a PG-rated cartoon character running for president, interrupting a string of insults the rest of us abandoned in the seventh grade only long enough to resume a concurrent string of half-crazed boasts: We’re gonna start winning again! We’re gonna build an eleventy-billion-foot-high wall! We’re not gonna pay a lot for this muffler!

All this coarseness is largely masking the truth that the Trump campaign is entirely about coarseness. Take away the unmappable comb-over and the unstoppable mouth and the Freudian-rich debates about genitalia, and there is no Trump campaign. Donald Trump’s few forays into actual issues suggest he is startlingly unaware of how the presidency or even ordinary governance works.

Good. Take a gun and blow your brains out.

That would fall under the definition of a Trick Shot worthy of Annie Oakley.

Whenever I see his name I remember the story of someone else having to go on the air at ESPN and do the updates because Keith was under his desk crying. His Internet girlfriend broke up with him.

“Nine largely happy years with an excellent staff and an excellent reputation “

That’s all he needed to say.

Destroy the Federal lobbying machine pandered to by both sides...Gut the Federal government and get rid of the bloat.....Tear the M.F. down!

Get rid all the Repub leadership from Mitch McConnell to Paul Ryan on down! They are liars, cheats and just general scumballs who have sold their electorate and this country down the $hithole to maintain power and enrich their own pockets...

AND THAT is exactly why the ruling elite will never allow Trump to be President.

It’s time to define your candidate not by their alliances, but by their enemies...

Trump or Cruz....preferably Trump since I believe he has the experience to be more effective...

But I would vote for either

If he hates where he sucks up oxygen then he should suck a shotgun. He’d feel better, and so would everyone else.

Keith: You can always have your old padded cell back again. In fact, the asylum has left your room just the way it was when you escaped: A rubber sheet, rubber ducky, padded walls, and a 1948 newspaper that says” “Dewey Won”.

Today it is more like a Roach Motel: “You can check in but you can’t check out”.

Your Trump place is going to look pretty good to you very soon.

Yeah, sure, moonbat Keith....Trump has degraded the public discourse.

Unlike Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama, who have uplifted America to new heights of decency and prosperity.....NOT!

I had to go to google to see who Keith Olbermann was.
I guess I don’t get out much,
or else I would give a rat’s ass about his opinions?
