The Trump Apocalypse Watch is a subjective daily estimate, using a scale of one to four horsemen, of how likely it is that Donald Trump will be elected president, thus triggering an apocalypse in which we all die.
Thursday was a good day in Trump news, in that there was relatively little Trump news. So it was a fairly break even day for the Republican frontrunner’s chances of winning the presidency, as it was for us all in the very near future being eaten by escaped hordes of ravenous hybrid Trump-wolf clones genetically designed by President Donald’s Department of Health and Human Services. Highlights:
- As predicted in Wednesday’s Trump Apocalypse Watch, Hillary Clinton supporters have already turned Trump’s now retracted comments about punishing women for abortions into an attack ad. The Super PAC video is raw and not great, but it is a likely preview of notes that could prove devastating come general election time with snappier production values. This seems like a bad thing for Trump and a good one for humanity.
- Trump, meanwhile, had an impromptu meeting at the Republican National Committee headquarters with its chairman Reince Priebus to discuss July’s Republican National Convention, the party’s delegate situation, and the candidate pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee that Trump ripped to shreds on Tuesday. How the legitimacy that the RNC continues to show Trump could be anything but good for his chances of winning the nomination, becoming president, and sending America into a fiery oblivion, I don’t know.
So with one pro-Trump item, and one anti-Trump item, the TAW remains unchanged from Wednesday: Still half a horseman.
