Donald Trump releases Lindsey Graham's phone number

god damn, donald trump is such an embarrassment.
why he thinks his campaign is going good is beyond me
probably one of the last publicity tools he has left in his deck of reality show cards.
i bet hes willing to pay people to prank call Graham
The funny thing is that if all the major news networks simply stopped their coverage of his campaign, his poll numbers would take a massive dive. He's a celebrity, not a politician. His campaign succeeds through exposure.

That'll never happen. Media wants views and clicks. Trump creates buzz, media makes money. It is a sick symbiotic relationship.

Frankly major news has effectively kicked my brain into political neutral. Its mind numbing what CNN and Fox talk about.
thanks

Bernie does a lot of public radio talks, he was on NPR for a good 4 hours uninterrupted to lay out his plans and counter criticisms a couple weeks ago, its a strategy most establishment candidates ignore
I don't know why anyone pays attention to him - he does not care about becoming president. He knows he'll never become the president and he is just trying to get as much publicity as he can.
i feel bad for republicans, any chance of a redeemable candidate getting some airtime will be replaced with coverage of Trump doing dumb shit constantly. Why report on political candidates AND celebrities when you get 2 in 1
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;48261242]Would anybody care if this assclown dropped dead tomorrow?
Like seriously, if he somehow (through lots of money) became president, there would be an open revolt. Nobody would let a bigoted demagogue rule over this country. Or at least I hope they wouldn't.[/QUOTE]
Somebody could probably assassinate him in broad daylight on his inauguration day and nobody would give a shit about it

[QUOTE=OvB;48261673]There was a conservative blogger for the Chron named GOPLifer that said if Trumps tirade continues he might force the GOP to disband.

It's a pretty interesting blog actually. He attacks a lot of the bullshit the GOP has become.[/QUOTE]
Now that'd be a dream come true, eh? The United States would effectively see an end to the bipartisan system, with more parties rising to fill the gap, and you'd get rid of some of the power held by the tyrannical, far-right oligarchs in one fell swoop.
This proves that trump is unstable.

Or the Democratic Party will just dominate everything because they'll be hands down the largest political entity in the country, and the rest of the vote will be split between a number of smaller parties.

The bipartisan system is absolutely awful, but this doesn't seem like a favorable alternative either.
I don't know, doesn't Germany have a number of parties that can combine their demographic power for elections? Like the green party and labor party can join up, or something like that. I remember learning about that kind of system at one point, and people were pretty happy with it because it allowed them the representation they wanted while still being able to compete with large parties.

It would likely continue on like that with either the democrats doing what the people want or they piss off enough of the population that some party gets unintentionally chosen as the contender.
People dissatisfied with the majority party would vote for the opposition which seems to be doing the best, eventually secondary oppositions would be phased out or merged together in an attempt to defeat the majority party. It would take several elections but that is the way the result would likely occur, thus returning to a bipartisan system.
