The Comrade having a "feud" with his employee is just media fodder. The real news at this event was Тяцмр promising to break down the wall between church and state starting with the Johnson Amendment.

Talking about the tv show distracts from the story that matters.

will trade the time I have thought about that utter absurdity and the time it took you to figure out how to write Trump's name in Cyrillic (or whatever that is)

You think non-political Americans follow the news?

Trump being humiliated by Arnold does far more damage.

We're dealing with Trump here. What do you think?

We got trouble - right here in River City - It starts with T and that stands for Trump. His motto is: There's a sucker born every minute.

broke for commercial teasing the Trump/Arnold conflict. When they come back from commercial - I'm sure they're going to play Arnold's comeback.

They are getting a lot of play all around the country on this. It is a blatant attempt to boost the ratings. Don't fall for it.

So many people are reposting Arnold's bit and saying they'd take him over Trump in a heartbeat. Nobody is going to tune in.

And the Prayer Breakfast was a disaster overall. So many people are disgusted with his performance.

and humiliated him.

NO way this was preplanned.

I haven't seen anyone on FB defending Trump. I HAVE seen many, many conservatives disgusted at the Prayer Breakfast behavior.

And a lot of people say they'd gladly trade Trump for Arnold as POTUS.

It seems like everything that happens is now being attributed to Trump or Bannon's "genius" or it's all part of their strategy.

This has blown all over Trump and made him look pathetic.

Arnold mentions this and further humiliates Trump. And guess what - the program will have a ratings boost.

I screamed at the TV tonight - about he and his SIL and Bannon - deciding on Yemen raid. WTF. They don't know what they don't know - most dangerous kind of people in everyday job or as president. Palin didn't know what she didn't know - thought she could be VP.
