Better RNC Convention Troll
Two possibly unintentional trolls happened this week during the RNC Convention in Cleveland. In a moment of remarkable timing Donald Trump's plane flew directly over the Ted Cruz RNC rally just as Cruz said: "In an amazing campaign field of 17 talented, dynamic candidates, we beat 15 of those candidates...We just didn't beat 16. Our party now has a nominee." After the flyover Cruz said: "That was pretty well orchestrated!" Cruz laughed while several supporters jeered. Also in Cleveland, 90s band Third Eye Blind played a benefit at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and made sure to include obscure songs the political song “Non-Dairy Creamer,” which includes the repeated line, “young gay Republicans" and is thought to be a rebuke of war. They also played “Jumper" about “a guy who jumped off a bridge and killed himself because he was gay.” The band used the intro to advocate for gay rights, and at the end of the song told the crowd, “Raise your hand if you believe in science.” Who do you think trolled better? Trump or Third Eye Blind? JUMP IN & vote!
