And they have no reason to be forced to listen to this orange crapsicle's constant ridiculous rhetoric.

is that CNN kept moving its camera to show this group of kids cracking up with laughter--to the point of snot shooting out of their noses--and Trump wasn't telling a joke.

Trump tells the Boy Scouts he's going to kill Obamacare; Boy Scouts respond with chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!"

This is child abuse. He is doing politicial bs instead of telling the kids to be good citizens. How gross.

I sincerely hope there are some conversations around the campfires or whatever they do tonight. This is completely unacceptable.

... were riveted by his stories about how it's "easy" to win the popular vote, but he won the electoral college vote which is much harder.

No doubt they were fascinated by his anecdotes about Levittown, and all the parties he was invited to because he was a bigly success.

Is there a merit badge for having survived listening to this complete bullshit? If there isn't, there should be.
