That appalling Republican candidate can’t walk away from an opportunity to put other people down. His horrifying spokespeople can’t, either. Was it Conway maybe going on about how a Jay-Z video showing (fictional) rioting?
Ah yes, thank you HuffPo, the Mazel Tov Cocktail story… it was Conway.
Who was it that spoke to an empty chair last election? Bet he never appeared in a video or movie with fictional violence against cops, sheriffs, etc…

Paging EF Goldman! At rally tonight, Trump read letters, one in which Tom Brady said he’d voted for him, the other in which Bill Belichick praised him for standing tall against the media. Thing is, Brady said on the radio this morning he hadn’t voted yet, and early voting here ended last Friday. For another, “Belichick’s” letter bore a distinct resemblance to the prose style of one D. Trump. Poor Stacey James, the Pats’ PR guy, just had his Monday night ruined.

You mean racewalking, Cole — the Google diverts there.

No wonder Trump hates Jay-Z. Jay-Z not only really is the self-made man that Trump pretends he is and wishes he were, he’s almost certainly also worth more than Trump. And after tomorrow, Jay-Z’s brand is still going to be worth millions, in stark contrast to the GOP loser.

If I have one drink a month, I’ve really drunk a lot.
