Poll
Question:
Should ESPN host a bracket special with President Trump in the same format as with President Obama?
Option 1: Yes
Option 2: No
http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/news/donald-trump-espn-march-madness-bracket-college-basketball-televised/757upcuxwqh11lxacimoag5t5
Simple question: Yes or No. Period. That's it. Nothing else to say.
Let's see how far the poll can get before the morons screw things up with their comments.

You bet your a$$ I would watch this.
"Marquette, they are yuuuuuge from behind the 3 point line... just YUUUUGE. but they can't protect their defensive borders. MU has gotta put MU first."
Of course.
Trump is good TV, and ESPN is a TV network.
I wouldn't watch it ... but I didn't watch Obama's, either. I find such stuff to be vapid and dopey, kind of like sideline reporters. Plenty of others would watch it, however.
Obama gave MU a lot of love in his brackets from what I remembered usually had us in the sweet 16. I always thought it was cool to see a president giving an MU Hoops shout out
Yes, for two reasons:
1. Trump is a sports guy
2. It would be pretty funny tv
Perfect fit! "Trump" and "March" just go together.
I always need help with my brackets,sad

Yes, because POTUS already has the best bracket an amazing bracket. his bracket, which is already filled out by the way, is the best it is totally going to win it is the best winner everybody is saying so. His bracket is way better than any bracket Crooked Hillary will fill out. Sad!
No!
Yes, of course, if he wants to.
Kind of a silly question.

The best in history. The first ever perfect bracket. Not one pick wrong. Warren Buffett's $1B will be donated back into this country.

1 hour and 16 minutes. Longer than I expected, honestly.
No
Barack Obama was a basketball guy.
To my knowledge, Donald Trump is not.
Case closed. Unless I am wrong.

If light hearted jabs are political posts, then it took 1 minute and 36 seconds, as the first response was essentially the exact same thing as GWSwarrior and my responses.

I agree with this. Maybe something tied with the US Open due to Trump's love of golf.
Frankly, I don't really care since I think it's a bit out of place. I think the Presidential interview before the Super Bowl is out of place too, which it sounds like they are continuing.

That probably more the President using the Super Bowl for its audience than the other way around.

Any picks that the media says are wrong are clearly the product of fake news. Alternative facts will determine the NCAA champ!

Sure why not. Haha. If you are too offended by the idea of Trump picking teams, well, it is going to be a long few years for you. It is a stupid lighthearted little bit. It was with Obama, it would be with Trump. Not exactly defining the future of the world with the round of 32 picks.
Guys.....but what if he does it, and actually fills out a perfect bracket???? What then???
Is it a coincidence if his bracket is identical to Putin's?

Hahahah! Tip of the cap sir!
Would ESPN even try this if Clinton was prez?
He'll fill one out. And then refuse to release it.
What if Hillary gets more total games correct but Trump gets more total points by winning the key games? Will her supporters claim that she actually won?
Will he fill out a bracket for the Women's tournament?

FWIW, I never paid attention when Obama did it, either.

Everyone else may like the Putin post, but this is my favorite.
If Wisconsin wins the tournament, Trump and I will not accept the results!
"Slow clapping" well done everybody!
Well, it would depend on whether ESPN/ABC/Disney happen to say something that annoys him.
Finicky like Morris this pres.

Trump will still claim he actually won more games, too, as those she picked correctly were rigged.

Well you know there are all those illegitimate play-in games
I don't really care because it doesn't count. I like things that count. Tonight's game counts. Pre-season and exhibition don't count. They are fine for working on things but I have no interest in the results of things that don't count. If it interests some ok, others no, that's ok too.

Baskets scored against teams Trump picks are clearly made by ineligible Mexican players.
Now Trump is calling for Bo Ryan to release his birth certificate. Rumor is Bo wasn't born in Wisconsin.
I'm sure he'll fill out a bracket, but he will never release it because it'll be under audit....

Melania Trump's bracket will exactly match one Michelle Obama filled out in 2012.

Oops - hadn't read through the entire thread before replying. You beat me to it. Great minds think alike.
Lets just wait and see how he picks before we rush to judgement, everyone.
No, Obama was a basketball player who would play hoops with his staff.
Trump isn't a baller so don't force it because Obama did it. Maybe a Masters pool.

Alas, our dream of YUGE March Madness special with Mr. Trump has hit a WALL.
Obama a baller???? Please. He's like one of those nerds they pick for the shooting game during timeouts at home games. And yes, ESPN should do it, but they've succumbed to political hackery so they never will. It's part of why ESPN is dying.

Um ... did you read the article? It was Comrade Twitler who chose not to do it, not ESPN or any other network.
Believe me (as he would say), they would have been happy to air it if he wanted to do it.
Looks like Comrade Twitler is too chicken to put himself out there, or he has the basketball knowledge of a fruit fly.
Or maybe he's simply too busy sending out tweets ripping Nordstrom for dropping his
incestuous crush's girlfriend's money-losing clothing line.

Not sure which I'd rather be stuck in, a Golden Hurricane or a Red Storm!
Superbar?
But what if he were to pick Marquette winning it all?
And then we did.
