And it's not just that he confused the two. It's that he spoke with such authority on him!
http://patch.com/new-jersey/mendham-chester/donald-trump-incorrectly-says-vp-nominee-did-terrible-job-n-j-governor
Quote:Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may have confused Hillary Clinton's vice presidential nominee, Tim Kaine, with former N.J. Gov. Tom Kean - or even Jim Florio.
Trump said during a press conference that Kaine, a former governor of Virginia, "did a terrible job in New Jersey," adding that his first act "was ask for a $4 billion tax increase."
"He's not very popular in New Jersey and he still isn't," he said.

It's possible Trump simply meant to say "Virginia," and confused it with a state that's more familiar with - and where he's done business.
It's also possible Trump confused him with Kean, since their names are similar.
It's also possible he confused him with Florio, also a former New Jersey governor who pushed through a $2.8 billion tax increase when he first took office in 1990. Kaine wanted to wanted to raise $1 billion in taxes on auto insurance and vehicle purchases.

No, it's a regular news feed.

So there's a bunch of right wing stuff that you choose not to post?

Pretty much. I prefer to make fun of Trump. I know it's low hanging fruit but I want to mock him as equally as others get mocked.
I've pretty much made it my goal until November. And after if he wins.

Quote:Trump suggests Putin called Obama the n-word. Seconds later: “I hope [Putin] likes me.”
Within 20 seconds at a press conference on Wednesday, actual Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump went from suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin had once called President Barack Obama the n-word to saying he hopes Putin likes him.
This is not an exaggeration. It really happened:

For the record, there is literally zero evidence that Putin ever called Obama the n-word. It’s hard to say where Trump got this idea, but he has a long history of naively restating things he heard from one person — even random people on Twitter. As Ezra Klein argued for Vox, Trump’s gullibility is one of the reasons he’s not qualified to be president.
But this also seems like a bizarre attempt by Trump to try to make himself look better than Obama. He’s essentially arguing that Putin disrespects Obama so much — to the point he called the president the n-word — while Putin should and probably does like and respect Trump.
If this was anyone else, it’d be easy to dismiss this as the totally absurd remark it is. But this is a person running for president.

He's a 3rd grader...he even exaggerates like one.
Quote:He boasted there were 1,000 people standing outside on the Wells Avenue side in 104-degree heat, listening to him on loudspeakers. (There weren’t; there were at most 50, according to a city firefighter who was outside, and the temperature never hit 100.)
But his followers supporters believe every word he says. It's so sad.

I love that. Mock him as much as the GOP mock Obama every moment they get. If Trump gets elected, I will follow in the same footsteps.

Ya, but Bush deserved every bit of what he got. Big difference.

No doubt, we can never get enough Trump threads. There are currently 7 on the front page.

The Bengals MB version of Rush Limbaugh isn't really something to strive for.

Classic Limbaugh was good. Funny even.
Old, lately Limbaugh is just a cranky old man, addled by drugs.
Nonetheless poking fun at Trump is one of my favorite things to do.
