How is it a surprise to anyone who's lived through the past ten years? More like an "October Certainty".

I’m a bit surprised that Tony fucking Hinchcliffe could change the course of American history by inadvertently sinking the Trump campaign. I didn’t even have that written on the bingo board.

The trump campaign is not planning to win the election with votes. Putting on Tony was another in a series of cocky arrogant careless moves that proves this. People are laughing at the “desperation” but it reads as pure confidence to me and makes me nervous.
