The Deplorables are so stupid, they can be played for suckers right to their faces and they won't see it. Wait for the inevitable Facebook posts about how Obama and Hillary spiked Trump's nom.

Just as anyone can be nominated for a Pulitzer. We'll see what the Prize committee decides, but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave the thing to Mr Trump, who appears to want it.
