We've discussed the recently pervasive "Yeah, no" phenomenon. Here's the
next step. Addressing the California GOP Convention, Donald Trump announced
that his delegate count had just "cracked the one-thousand number."
He then asked rhetorically, "Which is great, right?"
Responding to cheers and applause, he said, "No, it's great."
