Politics Girl explains Trump at Arlington (3:40)

Labor Day used to be the nominal kick off date for fall election campaigns. Now I serves as a date that more focuses the spotlight on a process that has been going on since the last election. Now we have a lead clown / criminal who demands that cameras focus on him and him alone. If the cameras don’t focus on him, then he does even more outrageous stunts to get that camera time.

One of his schticks to get camera time is to do illegal or unethical actions that cause an ever-hungry news media to follow him around talking about his last episode while waiting for his next outrageous episode. It is like a self repeating cycle. After his last episode the man should be thrown in jail, awaiting a hearing. 

Well, it is up to us. Vote against the clown this fall. Get him off the stage and into courtrooms across the country where he belongs. Enough of him thumbing his nose at our legal system with a fawning media cheering him on. It is way past time for him to pay for his crimes.
