Scott Stantis usually has a quirky take from the right-wing side, but in this case he went into the sleaze, and it’s disappointing. Make your jokes about corruption or paid speeches, fine, but “you’re a dog and you dress funny” is asinine. Then add on the “I’ll pay you” and the double meaning hidden therein, and this becomes tacky, at best..I’m reminded of a panel discussion where a Dem was attacking Katherine Harris (of Florida recount fame), and went after her looks. The conservative on the panel replied that if you want to be taken seriously, you don’t go after a woman’s looks as a way to attack her reputation, and in a sign of decency, the audience applauded (and the Dem apologized)..Scott Stantis broke that rule. The quoted words aren’t Trump’s words, in this case (yes, there was a tasteless barking dog ad from the Trump campaign, but that’s a stretch here); this is the artist going for sleaze. Strange that a cartoonist who has worked so hard in the last couple weeks to distance conservatives and their values from Trump would mimic the worst aspect of Trump in today’s strip.
I see the trump worshipers are out in force. They avoid what they can see and believe every word he says as if they knew him personally. Maybe it’s that® he put behind his name. If he’s so great, why was he friends with, and a donor to, the Clintons? If he was just buying influence, what does that say about him being outside the system?Rhetorical questions. You’ll just ignore them.
Read my post again… he ISN’T quoting Trump. While Trump has said some odd things, on this one it’s the artist. He may be trying to imitate Trump’s style, but there is a major irony it that Stantis has spent the last month lamenting Trump’s nomination..And that’s the problem. There are too many conservatives who hate what Trump stands for, but mimic his tactics and methods whenever it suits them.
Trump’s ideas are a mix of “bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.” She lambasted his “bragging” approach to foreign policy based on a string of “nasty tweets” and accused him of harboring a “bizarre” affinity for authoritarian leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Communist rulers of China and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.“We cannot put the safety of our children and grandchildren in Donald Trump’s hands. We cannot let him roll the dice with America,” Clinton said.
I see that Donnie and Paul’s bromance has hit a snag due to Donnie’s insane attacks on Judge Curiel. The Trump train will run off the rails long before November.

Hillary could make way more money on the speaker’s circuit. She’s running because she was born to and will be very good at it.

Donnie looked horrible yesterday. Can he last until November? He can dish it out, but he can’t take it.

Hillary Clinton’s evisceration of Donald Trump
Trump’s ideas are a mix of “bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.” She lambasted his “bragging” approach to foreign policy based on a string of “nasty tweets” and accused him of harboring a “bizarre” affinity for authoritarian leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Communist rulers of China and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.“We cannot put the safety of our children and grandchildren in Donald Trump’s hands.
