(Trump rallies) were like rock concerts, former Trump manager turned CNN pundit Corey Lewandowski said. It was something that the people were energized about. We had groupies! Holy shit!
While Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook spoke, The Beast noted that Lewandowski would fiddle with his phone while others paid attention. When he continued, he bragged even more about the win and Mook glared at him.
He looked like he wanted to strangle him, one audience member noted.

Trump basically woke the beast for his own enrichment. He's on his victory lap tour, he has said that he wants to continue having "rallies" when he becomes President. He loves the adulation and instant gratification that comes with "rallies," but when it comes to actually doing the job, there is no audience, so it will fall to Pence and his underlings.
The "drain the swamp" thing isn't working out too well for him. It's as if he found a combination of the least qualified or most destructive candidates for every job and signed them up.

(1,128 posts)I have an aunt who voted for Trump. She probably voted for him in the hopes that someone, anyone, would finally grab her p***y. She has been desperate for a man since Bill was sworn in. She probably hopes that this will get her some male attention, even if it's in the form of assault. And I'm sure she's not the only one.
