 That's how I feel about you and Trump.
...but you're a Mocker too and at the end of the day that's all that really matters to me. 
That's right. If you were my sister I would slap you up side the head and ask you WTF!! Haha! You two should totally have a pillow fight in your lingerie and take pics for my inbox.
That would definitely start the launch sequence.

The Clinton campaign has just released a new ad hitting Trump for not releasing his tax returns.

Trump won't lose many, if any, of his diehard supporters over his crassness in regards to women, in my opinion.
Like his wife, his supporters seem to shrug it off and say, "Pfft, chuckle chuckle. The Donald doesn't mean what he says, he will make America great again." Or, "That's just The Donald, chuckle chuckle. He's an equal offender who degrades men too, he will make America great again." Or, "Trump's a pig like me, chuckle chuckle. He's got my vote!"
But, I think more exposure to that kind of shit -- along with his juvenile 'branding' of individuals and groups, his birther idiocy, his hypocrisy in regards to his tax returns, and his frequent flip flops -- will limit his ability to convert a large percentage of young, thinking, equality-oriented Bernie supporters and Independents (of all ages).
I read this morning that yuge Republican donor Sheldon Adelson and his Super Pac are set to back Trump now, to the tune of around $100 million. I expect to see a lot of relentless attack ads on Clinton when that comes to pass. So far, Clinton has used only Trump's own words and the words of his Republican critics in her anti-Trump ads. I wonder if she'll be able to stay out of the mud as the general election race heats up.

Trump said those things, so he needs to own them.
However, I have to agree with him about the last quote in the ad, "they can go eff themselves."
Yeah, he said it. But, he said it in regards to the Chinese, not women. It's out of context. Putting that quote in that ad was misleading and unnecessary on the part of the Clinton PAC - not cool.

 She is not. The man is a fricken dufus and he doesn't need any help in presenting that.

Ben Carson is on the Trump "VP Selection Committee". He named Sarah Palin (seriously) among those who were being vetted. The Trump campaign quickly walked that back. Man, that would be a hilarious (losing) ticket.
Other names, including former 2016 presidential candidates, have denied interest in the role.
HOWEVER, 2012 presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich seems to really really want the job, in my opinion. He's been all over the media, his daughter too, talking about how he wouldn't say no to VP for the man he endorsed last week.

I don't know why I find that such a funny ticket too, but I do.

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian former governor of New Mexico, is polling at 10%. He needs to get 15% to make the ballot. It could happen.
He ran in 2012 too, but didn't get far. 2016 might be a better bet; this time there could be a unique opportunity for anybody with some foundation who simply isn't Trump or Clinton.
I know more about Deez Nutz than this Johnson. I need to get up to speed on the man. I don't think he's gonna win if he manages to make the ballot, but he could end up being a player with some leverage to affect the November election.

The California primary is next Tuesday, June 7th.
Clinton is currently polling a few points ahead of Sanders; he's really narrowed the gap. I won't be terribly shocked if Bernie wins, but I will be terribly shocked if he does so by such a landslide that he surpasses Clinton's total earned/voter delegates. The closer he gets to her earned/voter delegates though, the more his considerable leverage to influence the platform grows.
I didn't even realize that Sanders was at the Warriors game last night until I saw a pic in the news this morning; he was somewhere in the middle of the crowd. He used to play basketball and has been campaigning his ass off in the state. He was already in Oakland for a rally earlier in the day.
Sanders was asked in an interview if he'll tell his supporters to vote for Clinton if he loses the Democratic nomination. He said he would do every thing in his power to keep Donald Trump from becoming President, but he won't tell people who they should vote for and that it's up to Clinton to earn people's votes.
Anyway, after next Tuesday, barring any huge surprises, it will be Donald Trump (R ) vs. Hillary Clinton (D) vs. Gary Johnson (Libertarian), vs. Jill Stein (Green Party).
This weekend, Bill Kristol, conservative Republican commentator and political analyst, sent out a tweet claiming that "an impressive Independent candidate with a strong team and real chance" would be entering the race. I'm highly skeptical that there's enough time for someone to make a serious run now. And, I also think it would be political suicide for an impressive candidate to try to splinter the GOP vote again. I haven't seen any more about the identity of this supposed new candidate.

So, the Republican "Never Trump" organization led by Mitt Romney and Bill Kristol is having a hard time finding a suitable candidate who's willing to run.
Aside from it being so late in the game, if they got a conservative to run and that candidate lost but managed to secure enough votes to stop Trump from winning the election, I imagine he or she would have to live with being the 'spolier' or 'traitor' for a long time and it could have very negative career repercussion.

But, there is one person seriously considering going for it. The potential third party candidate to whom Bill Kristol was referring in his tweet turns out to be David French (^). French is a writer for conservative publication, National Review, and a constitutional lawyer. He's also an Iraq war veteran and a Bronze Star recipient. His writings have been sharply critical of Trump.
"The party of Lincoln is in ruins. A minority of its primary voters have torched its founders' legacy by voting for a man who combines old-school Democratic ideology, a bizarre form of hyper-violent isolationism, fringe conspiracy theories and serial lies with an enthusiastic flock of online racists to create perhaps the most toxic electoral coalition since George Wallace," French wrote in March.
