Is he going there to evoke the high-water mark of the old Confederacy? Or is he trying to pick up the thread of one American civil war to tie it to the beginning of another American civil war?

50,000+ casualties the first time out. Get that reactionary goon out of that place of history! (Maybe he wants to build battlefield condos there, it'd be his kind of thing.)

See post #15

he keeps folding newspapers into Napoleon hat shapes and wearing them around campaign H.Q.

Conaway asked where does he keep getting those papers? Because no one around here reads papers.

Another staffer said the campaign had bought 50,000 copies of the Santa Barbara News-Press, and he keeps going down to the garage and getting a new one, after the old one gets confiscated.

Distressed staffers are trying to get rid of the bales of newspapers. They're especially dismayed by the way he sticks his tongue out of one side of his mouth, while he's wearing the hat.

When those 100,000 copies
of the Waxahachie Daily Light,
that the campaign ordered,
get shipped in,
the shit is really going to hit the fan.

But there's a no-refunds policy, so the delivery can't be cancelled.

Watch out for campaign panic, and mass desertions, when that shipment arrives.

In the second debate they were asked about Supreme Court appointments and he spent almost the entire time talking about putting his own money in the campaign and asking Hillary why she's not putting her own money into her campaign.

He's not real good at staying on topic.

for him, even though a lot hasn't "taken." I get the strong feeling he still doesn't believe he wouldn't be able to at least railroad Hillary through a pretend trial into prison, but at least now he has been told that even the president can't just order someone to be picked up and locked away.
