Tebow denying that he's speaking at RNC

I thought it worked really well as some kind of Zen-Riddle explanation for the Pence pick.

I keep reading stories of trump delegates reluctant to travel to Cleveland because they did not realize they would be footing their own bill for hotels and whatnot.

That hat money doesn't grow on trees, y'know.

A Woodstock-esque highway shoulder coated with sad-looking Republican hitchhikers, some of them willing to take their tops off and/or give blowjobs to get to Cleveland? That would be pretty epic.

Yeah, he's a whole other level. Like, Trump is physically grotesque but that's almost all Trump's doing for whatever strange reason. He'd probably look like just a regular old dude without the Cheetos facial and the fright wig and the constant, bizarre mugging.

He announced pence on Twitter

Rip newt :-(

six Pence none the bitchier

adelson is unattractive sure but man like that particular photo he just radiates EVIL too, it's unsettling

Manafort: "he was never on our list of people who should've been announced"

Some idiot on ESPN radio last night was predicting tebow was launching his political career next week and would be president in the next 15 years.

Dude Who Has Just Bitten Into a Lemon / Dude in the Middle of a Peculiarly Satisfying Bowel Movement '16!

When people approach me making faces like those, I cross the street and hope they don't follow, and I certainly don't vote them into the highest office in the country.

Do you like movies about gladiators?

When asked whether he believes in evolution (for a second time): “I believe with all my heart that God created the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that is in them …. How he did that, I’ll ask him about some day.” (Many religious believers have no problem saying that God acted through the process of evolution, a view that is not considered to be science-denying creationism, and that reconciles, successfully, science and religion. But note here that Pence does not specifically accept that stance.)

C/Ping a bunch of tweets from a Politico reporter Shane Goldmacher:

A few easy digital things Trump's team didn't do before announcing Pence:
1) Update Trump's website with the news.
2) Update Mike Pence's profile on Twitter to say he is on the ticket
3) Or update the pinned tweet on the top of Pence's account linking to his reelect page, as people flood there:
4) Buy Google search ads for flood of searches (See comparison for Clinton search):
5) Secure top domains. See --> (example is trumppence.gop)
6) Have Pence update HIS political home page, or at least redirect to a Trump-related page
7) Put out of a press release highlighting Pence's life accomplishments that the thousands of reporters writing pieces can crib from.
8) One thing the Trump folks DID do was post on two social networks: Facebook and Twitter
9) But they still haven't told anything to his nearly 2 million followers on Instagram
10) Again, these are the precious first 30 minutes that hundreds of thousands, even millions, of voters are seeking information about Pence.
11) And another thing: In Trump's initial tweet, he didn't tag @mike_pence so his nearly 10 million followers could follow his VP.
12) Follow up on his promise to text supporters the news
13) At least so far (45 minutes or so), send an email to his massive list asking for money. VP day is big small-dollar potential day.
14) Okay I think that's all for now. Thanks for reading.

lol

one would think he didn't know what he's doing

Or didn't particularly care.

BROWNIE.

worst eye exam ever

murica gone get tp'd yall

P on his Ts

in other news, WaPo columnist Jennifer Rubin's stream of recent editorials about how the #NeverTrump people are gonna stop Trump at the convention is charmingly delusional. The layers of denial from her ilk about the nature of their party is so pitiful.
