  15. *"Just like me, a guy accused by multiple women of sexual assault. He's my kind of fella'!" – "Well, I'll back this other guy, too. That way my endorsement looks powerful, no matter who comes out on top." *DJT decides who to back in primaries. It's not the first time. He's backed more than one primary candidate in other states, as well. I guess when he plays roulette, he puts a chip on every space, so he can later say, "I'm a genius at roulette. I never lose."
