So Hillary Clinton tore Donald Trump a new one yesterday, lambasting his foreign policy gibberish. Trump has responded with, well, more gibberish. It’s actually quite amazing how bad he is at this “being the nominee” stuff. But there’s something else quite fascinating about Clinton’s attacks yesterday.

This was a planned speech. Everyone knew it was going to happen. It was on the calendar. Republicans had all the time to prepare a response and come to their nominee’s aid. But … crickets.

Well, RNC chair Reince Priebus did criticize Clinton, but the time stamp shows it happened before the speech, and he did nothing after it. It was a rote denunciation, not a defense of his nominee.

So I went to the RNC’s website, and again, no defense of Trump. Nothing on their press release page. And, amazingly, go to their home page, and Trump is mentioned NOWHERE. There is nothing, anywhere. You have a Republican presumptive nominee who is trashed by the Democratic presumptive nominee, and no one comes to his defense, not even his party?

This is some crazy shit, people.
