On Sunday The New York Times published a timeline of all the outrageous, mean, stupid, even stupider, and plain ignorant things that good ‘ol Trump has said. Out loud. On tv and at conventions. The whole thing is unbelievable. Last summer a former colleague and I were in San Francisco watching the initial republican candidate debates and couldn’t believe that Trump had actually put himself in the race. We concluded that it was most certainly a stunt and that he likely had a new tv show premiering and was interested in ratings. Funny enough, yesterday I was listening to Hillary Clinton’s podcast and she said that she had had the exact same thoughts about Trump. But sweet jesus, no, this is a not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill. This is real life and it is kind of terrifying that there are people want such a crazed, lying, loon for president, even if they don’t like Clinton. Clearly I am biased here. There have been and are many republican leaders I had felt support for and admired, but this guy deserves neither for all of the same reasons that we wouldn’t like a human in real life – there’s not much to respect. But, I digress.
This timeline is very important because it not only highlights a ton of stupidity, it also shows you at what point the republicans started abandoning The Donald in favour of my girl Hillary. It’s also the first time in history that a party has so publicly denounced its own candidate, as well as the first time that prominent republicans are choosing to vote for the democratic candidate. Without further ado, here is the timeline and all of the GOP people who say No, Trump, just no, sit down (or f*ck off).
