So either stay home, don't vote, or just cancel the election. Makes sense to me ....

Look, dumdum, you've been toying with the idea of being president for a long time-- you jumped into the fray-- now you have to see it through.

Action have consequences. Haven't you learned that by now??

but in this case, I bet it has to do with his massive egotism:

Referring to yourself in the third person creates distance between "I" and "he." So if you have an exaggerated view of how great you are, you could be using this distance to make yourself even bigger. Or, if you've achieved major success suddenly, using the third person could be a way to adjust to the bigger role that's been assigned to you. It's a way to enlarge yourself to fit that role.

16. About the voter suppression operations

local republicans in many swing states are closing down early voting near urban black neighborhoods and universities. They want long lines on election day and for people to get fed up and leave without voting.

Plenty of space available in rural ares with very short lines to vote.

unable to put a sentence together, and medicated, and maybe sooner than we think. He seems to be losing his faculties right in front of the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if his doting kids were looking to salvage what they can from his crappy, con-artist "empire."

21. The greatest performance artist ever

Oct 2016

Absolute shit candidate for president, and could only be taken seriously by a moron, but as a performance artist? Brilliant. Ironic and post ironic at the same time, a multi million person reenactment of the darkest and most dangerous movements in humankind's history with the sheer gloss of tweets and reality TV. The man can arouse more outrage
AND slavish acquiescence than anyone in our lifetime with less effort and more originality than I ever thought possible.
