This line of attack is so old. The Democrats use celebrities because they get people's attention. Not because they think celebrities are somehow magically smarter than everyone else.
It's also a hypocritical argument. I give you Arnold, Clinton Eastwood's chair, Chochi, That Latino Soap Opera dude, the list could go on.

The Democratic National Convention looks like a night at the Oscars. The Republican National Convention looks like an afternoon at a boat show.

The only one I saw was the dog one, and I thought it mostly sucked, so I guess my answer is no, I haven't been.

The disgusting biased lie-beral lamestream media can't tell when
Trump is cracking a joke. Sad.
Speaking at a rally in Nevada, Donald Trump has urged the terminally ill to vote for him. "I don't care how sick you are," the Republican nominee said. "I don't care if you just came back from the doctor and he gave you the worst possible prognosis, meaning it's over. You won't be around in two weeks. Doesn't matter. Hang out till November 8. Get out and vote."

So I guess Megyn Kelly numbers among those who
won't call Hannity.
Sean Hannity has hurled what many of his Fox News Channel viewers would consider an insult at colleague Megyn Kelly: He accused her of being a Hillary Clinton supporter.
Hannity reacted by Twitter on Wednesday night after Kelly had a segment on her show about the presidential candidates tightly controlling press access. She noted that Republican Donald Trump "will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to unsafe spaces these days."
Hannity responded on Twitter, writing "u should be mad at @HillaryClinton. Clearly you support her. And @realDonaldTrump did talk to u." When another Twitter user told Hannity he should stand by his colleagues, the host said, "Sure. When they stand by me."
Trump has been a frequent Fox guest in recent months, particularly on Hannity and the morning "Fox & Friends" show. Hannity, a conservative talk-show host, has said he supports Trump and has given him campaign advice. He appeared in a Trump campaign video without his network's knowledge, but was told not to do that again.
Trump's rocky road with Kelly, dating to the first GOP primary debate in summer 2015, is well documented. He did appear as an interview subject on a Fox broadcast network special done by Kelly in the spring.
Kelly had no response to Hannity on social media. Fox representatives had no immediate response to requests for comment Thursday.

If you've built your career on presenting yourself as an intelligent commentator, this should result in the loss of your job.

Nevada
Donald Trump says Neh-VAH-da, locals say Neh-VAD-ah.
The Republican nominee mispronounced the state's name while lecturing those he thought were saying it incorrectly during a rally in Reno Wednesday night.
Trump made the gaffe in a random tangent during a discussion of Nevada's drug problem.
"Heroin overdoses are surging and meth overdoses in Neh-VAH-da," Trump said. "Neh-VAH-da," he repeated, drawing out the mispronunciation. "When I came out here I said nobody says it the other way. It has to be Neh-VAH-da, right?"

I certainly don't like Trump, but think it's silly when minor things like this get their 15 minutes in the news. It's a big country, I don't expect everyone to know all state/regional hangups.
Growing up in Delaware, there's the city of Newark. A couple hours away is Newark, New Jersey. In NJ it's "NEW-irk" but in DE it's "new-ARK". I wouldn't expect anyone out of the area to know that.
Those crazy people in Forked River, NJ however should be openly challenged and mocked for how they pronounce forked.

He's trying to ingratiate himself with his audience and totally fucking it up. It's annoying to the people he's talking down to (about the name of *their* state) and it's funny to the rest of us.

Imagine he came into your home and started telling you about how he tells people to pronounce your last name, except he's totally saying it wrong.
If we're not going to hold him responsible for all the racist, isolationist, nuclear proliferation crap he spews, at least let us make fun of him when he does something goofy.

I could never forgive Gary Johnson for ignorance of Aleppo or world leaders or basically everything, but I could certainly forgive him for mispronouncing "Nevada." It's not a big deal.
But mocking Trump here is different because everything he says comes with an implicit or explicit claim that he's the best and he's always right. That kind of arrogance deserves derision.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a big deal if he just said it wrong as he was giving a speech or whatever, but he doubled down on how he's right and everyone else is wrong (I don't even know...it's such a bizarre moment, they keep showing it on cable news, and it's just cringe-worthy).

It's probably because of the sheer number of tourists Nevada gets. It used to be that on any day in Reno, 2/3 of the people you saw didn't live there and didn't care that others did. It creates a ton of resentment.

Politico
Donald Trump said Wednesday that derogatory statements he has made toward women were all for the sake of “entertainment” and did not reflect his true feelings.
"A lot of that was done for the purpose of entertainment; there's nobody that has more respect for women than I do," the real estate mogul told Las Vegas’ KSNV-TV in an interview taped Wednesday ahead of a rally in Henderson, Nevada.
"Are you trying to tone it down now?" reporter Jim Snyder responded.
"It's not a question of trying; it's very easy," Trump replied.

Progressive evangelical leaders condemn Trump in a letter:
The letter, which is signed by nearly 80 prominent evangelical leaders, thinkers, authors, and pastors, decries Trump’s attacks on women, Muslims, immigrants, refugees, and the disabled, saying such vitriol is an affront to the Christian faith. It also highlights how his campaign has energized white nationalists, such as when he was endorsed by leaders of the Ku Klux Klan.
So...that's good...right?

There's a tiny bit of communion between the Evangelical Right and the Evangelical Left, but not very much.
One of them (as witnessed in the quote) is capable of ecumenical dialogue while the other isn't.

In the "
they'll believe anything I say" department:
Donald Trump's town hall event in New Hampshire is the same general format as Sunday's debate against Hillary Clinton. There's a two-minute clock timing each of his answers. And standing off to the side is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who coaching the Republican presidential candidate for Sunday's showdown.
But Trump is staunchly denying the event has anything to do with preparing for Sunday's town hall-style presidential debate.
Trump told the crowd, "This isn't practice. This has nothing to do with Sunday." He added that "We're just here because we just wanted to be here."
He's also lashing out at rival Hillary Clinton, claiming that she's not really preparing, but "resting."
Trump said he wants "to be with the people from New Hampshire," adding without evidence, "and she wants to rest."
Trump has held only a handful of town hall-style events over the course of his campaign, preferring giant rallies instead.
