I don't know. I think he's been fairly known for quite some time. I've known of him since some point in childhood. I believe I even played a Trump boardgame.

I had to look that up.  Here is the very 80's commercial for it.

It's like Monopoly except the winning strategy is to have the most successful bankruptcy reorganization.

They should not have cancelled, that was stupid.

They could have had a debate where the two of them sit their and eviscerate Trump.

For some reason Kasich bailed as well after Trump did.

Why not, I like Pumpkin tea.

I missed this and it's totally insignificant but in a 500-page thread:  WTF Tim, "pumpkin tea"???

Anyways, the Word of Wisdom technically prohibits all hot beverages but those crafty Mormons interpreted it away to mean just no coffee or tea or caffeine (cold or hot) -- permitting themselves the consumption of stimulating ephedra sinica "Mormon tea" with cinnamon, nutmeg, and other "stimulants" included.

Really?  They can down as much Diet Coke as they like?  That kind of blows my mind.

I thought caffeinated soda was verboten.

Me too.  Obviously, Joseph Smith was dragged from his Illinois jail cell and lynched well before kola-based soft drinks were developed, but I thought they took the "no caffeine" principle from hot to cold.

Perhaps The Cross is picking up his impression from some North Dakota splinter group.

I think pop = banned is a myth by nonbelievers. they definitely can drink pop.
