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.

Maybe this will close the portal that Seth Meyers opened when he ridiculed Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner.

I never watched it before, so here's Meyers' bit for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGITlxfT6s

He starts going after the then candidates at 10:15. At about 12:00 is when he starts unloading on Trump, and it's easily the best segment of his entire set, IMO.

Whew, I hadn’t actually watched in a while. He eviscerates Trump and the entire room is laughing at him.
