Friday Flashback: Super Mario Trump

On September, 4, 2015, between the first and second Republican presidential debates, I uploaded a Vine of Donald Trump set to the music of the Mario Brothers star invincibility effect. At the time, it seemed nothing Trump said or did would deter his supporters. Trump captured this himself when he said, "I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters." Eight and a half months later, despite all his blunders and flip flops, Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican Nominee. I doubt there's anything in the Democrats' giant trove of unreleased opposition research that will convince his supporters to disembark the Trump Train.
