I was doing some gags in the wee hours on Twitter, as one does when the one-year old has a 2AM wake-up:

and, finally:

Now, I am sworn not to vote for Jeb, but this bit did give pause (h/t DaTechGuy):

Pete asks:

What is to stop Donald Trump if denied the GOP nomination, if denied the speaking spot he wants at the convention, if he develops a grudge against the eventual GOP nominee or if he wants to just feed his ego, from going the Ross Perot route running as a 3rd party candidate and dividing the vote to give Hillary the White House?

Let’s just stipulate that we’ve substantially collapsed into an aristocracy. We’re watching a mostly boring and puritanical version of Game of Thrones here. Clinton, Bush, and Trump are all hedged to score a fat pile of cash, irrespective of outcome. But the cash is more about keeping score at that level than it is, say, servicing the mortgage.

I guess, at that altitude, noise like this boils down to entertainment for His Donaldness. Did I mention that I’m not voting for Jeb?

  13. Well the contributions to Hillary might be explained by: It is Hillary, and you need to pay for access.

  15. Most people recall that he names everything after himself; for instance, his mistress is the Trump Tramp.

  17. And the tattoo of his coat of arms on the small of her back is the Trump Tramp Stamp.

    ETA: I’m just joshing, but I wouldn’t put it past him.

  26. The idea Trump could run a 3rd party ticket is silly, sorry. He has money, but he isn’t going to spend the kind of money it would take. Remember, Perot had built the United We Stand volunteer network for over a year before he announced. They are the folks who gathered the signatures to get him on state ballots, which is not easy in many places.

    Trump had to hire extras @ $50/head to cheer at his announcement. This is a stunt, which we should push back against by keeping him out of debates.
