I tailgated with drunk Donald Trump fans at Iowa-Iowa State so you don't have to
http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/9/13/9316705/donald-trump-iowa-isu-football-gameSadly, this was not a tailgate just for Trump. It was run by the Republican Party of Story County, but there was only one reason anyone was there.
"Tell that scrub to get to the side. We've got Trump coming!" said one guy when Wisconsin governor Scott Walker appeared. Another yelled at the balding candidate about Rogaine. One woman, a self-described Republican, had no idea who Walker was, and the only semi-excited person was a drunk man who told his daughter to shake "Mike Walker's" hand
But as I came back around the bend, I was nearly run over by a stampede of cheering fans and media members. There he was, emerging from the stadium, wearing a tieless suit and a camo "Make America Great Again" hat. Despite being mobbed for autographs and handshakes, he marched through the Jack Trice Stadium parking lots.
The speech lasted less than a minute. It was the most vanilla of any candidate's. It touched on no issues, and he asked no questions, other than whom everyone was cheering for. It was a christening, not a stump speech.
Once he stepped down from his throne, he beelined for a waiting SUV.
"I touched him!" yelled one girl, telling anyone who would listen. Trump actually showed up. To a tailgate basically in his honor. At the Iowa-Iowa State game. To cheer with a bunch of drunk fans.
Good read

(21,103 posts)It will be interesting as his campaign proceeds if he is called out for not shaking " the peasants" hands. You just know that's what he calls his supporters in private. The ultra rich refers to us that way.

Jeb Bushs social media war with Donald Trump is getting creative. After trading attack ads on Instagram and Twitter, the Bush campaign has upped its game with a new BuzzFeed-style quiz titled, Which Candidate Are You?:

(21,646 posts)I am glad to see recent ridicule of this dangerous nut and his voters and more opinionated editorials slanting away from his ilk
At first it seemed like it was going to pass as a new normal
