Who couldn’t help but laugh their butt off Thursday with the contrived spectacle of the Donald signing a loyalty oath to the Republican Party, then having a news conference where he declared it was the best damned loyalty oath ever!
Remember this is the guy who has signed thousands of legal contracts and then ended up suing or being sued for violating said contracts. This is a guy who has filed bankruptcy four times, thus stiffing thousands of creditors and employees. This is a guy who has dumped wives and girlfriends on a whim. And Reince Preibus thinks the Donald will be good to his word? Seriously?
One should ask the Donald if loyalty includes not speaking ill of fellow Republicans. So far he is doing a trash job on his opponents that is warming the hearts of Democrats across the land.
