OTB needs a pro-Trump troll. Maybe if we got superdestroyer back on the meds he’d suspend his one-party obsession and say a few words for the Trumpster.

Honestly, if we managed to popularize the “Donald Trump: We Shall Overcomb” meme we could probably knock a few weeks off his political career. It’s as good as the description of Giuliani as “9-1-1, a noun, and a verb.”

I think that everyone, Republican, Democrat or independent, should start telling pollsters that they’re going to vote from Trump. Just think how awesomely crazy he would go if he were running 30% in the polls and ended up at 5% in the actual election.
