His Unlucky Number



New Hampshire's Grafton County Republican Committee came up with the idea for a fundraiser to auction ties donated by prospective Republican candidates in 2016 -- all eighteen (!) of them.  That didn't turn out to be such a great idea as far as short-fingered vulgarian and birther buffoon Donald "Rump" Trump:
"Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump was among the 18 possible Republican White House hopefuls who contributed a tie to the auction.

But when the online auction ended at midnight on Saturday, the famously well-dressed Trump -- the one prospective candidate in the field who sells his own line of neckwear -- finished in a disappointing 13th place." (emphasis added)
The fact that he was beaten by such lightweights as nutcase bomb thrower John "Pornstache" Bolton and -- this is rich -- former Maryland Gov. Bob Erlich (who, what?) indicates that Rump's ego far outdistances his appeal, even to the hardcore base.
