No surprise here. A bunch of us called bullshit on this "No, we're not planning an Alt-right media outlet after we waste the GOP's shot at stopping Hillary" MONTHS AGO. Now they're raking in the dough from the Trump cultists and flipping a big bird to the GOP, the DNC, the media, and mostly sadly, to the American people.
He has wasted our time when we should have been discussing real issues -- the economy, national security, immigration, health care, civil rights, criminal justice reform, campaign finance reform, climate change, nuclear weapons, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, ISIS, North Korea and more.
But his blatant and conspicuous lack of self-vetting -- because he never wanted or expected to actually WIN, people! -- has led us down the rabbit hole of whether or not he offered $10,000 and a ride on Trump Force One to a porn star. Literally.
He has wasted the precious quadrennial job handed down to us by the Founding Fathers, picking a new president.
He has wasted our nation's most important opportunity to take stock of where we are and most importantly, where we want to go. Instead of that crucial debate, this clown has not only wasted our time, but he did it in part by appealing to our fears and our divisions, not to our common values and that most basic of American qualities, optimism.
And we should never forget those he brought in from the dark, those who live in the most vile corners of America -- Steve Bannon and Roger Ailes, Roger Stone and Alex Jones, David Duke and the super-shady Putin-loving Paul Manafort et al.
And ALL Trump supporters must answer for the fact that Trump's America would include the normalization and emboldening of neo-Nazis and white nationalists and Anti-Semites and racists and islamophobes and sexists and conspiracy nuts. Fuck him. America is better than that.
He's wasted our time and now he needs to pay, by going down to a crushing defeat at the ballot box.
