ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says the network expressed its “interest to the White House in continuing the presidential bracket. They have respectfully declined.”

He offhandedly pretty much called the Super Bowl correctly. The March Madness bracket involves picking initially 32 games. Who except a fanatic cares about all 32 games? The President if he really wants to attend should go to the championship game only. He can predict a winner if he wants to before the game.

A fully adult President at work. How refreshing.

“What happens when they lose too many viewers?”

People who should never be in charge of anything are in charge of everything—or were until the election. Even now a lot of it persists.

If they lose too many viewers, the execs will be replaced by people who can turn it around.

As long as there’s money to be made, the games will be on.

Thank goodness. Enough of the trivialities already. We've had 8 long years of that idiocy.

The NCAA supports gender free locker rooms and I won’t participate in any of their activities.

Remember Obama’s bracket always being blown apart early. Trump ought to pick one team, write it down and put in a sealed envelope. When the tournament is over, open it and find more winning when he picks the right team.

Donald, the BLM groups will now label you as racist, since you are not filling out a bracket. Just tell ESPN, that you’ll fill out a women’s bracket...UConn wins...

Seems like a day doesn’t go by when the contrast between him an his predecessors is not showcased to my great enjoyment.

He said a lot of things during the election, I thought his rhetoric sounded great to my ears, but the thought of him saying all that and doing any of it seemed to be a long shot.

But, I have been amazed at the way he has hit the ground running. Love the picture of him at the desk in the Oval Office which is piled high with stacks of paper, and the picture of Obama with a sheet of paper on the desk.

It is clear Trump likes sports, but it is also clear that as a businessman who has business that needs doing, participating in a televised stunt as he fills out his card as he is filmed by people who despise him, decides properly that he has other things to do.

Obama salivated at the opportunity for a fawning camera shoot like that.

I just love the contrast, and seeing the tiny liberal pin-heads popping in fury, one by one as they see the same contrast.

Good for Trump. It’s called “Presidential.” Besides if he did the MSM would just say his picks were identical to Hitler’s.
