Rush will probably ignore it. He doesn’t like to apologize.

Maybe he will have a chest cold today.

The bottom feeders like Loesch who came in once Andrew died are all former hard core liberals. They all claimed to be Andrews best friend. House cleaning there is long overdue. Trump’s campaign is smoking them out.

Rush will ignore the statements Cruz made about Trump needing to tone down his speeches. After all he is the only Constitutionalist.

Pray America wakes

Bernie Sanders was promoting this on the Sunday shows as proof Trump’s rallies are violent.

Yep, sounds like Shapiro is having a public meltdown.

Maybe FauxNews will hire him.

Speaking of FN....wonder if lying wee-otch MeAgain will walk back her giddiness on this story, now that the lying reporter has resigned.

The fact Trump is running his own campaign is the very threat that makes them so enraged. They all think Trump “needs” them. He doesn’t and that means their money train is going away.

Lewandowski did indeed block her from following Trump but he did so in an extremely gentle way, from my view of the video.

I’ve been waiting for today to hear all the talk shows either admit their mistakes or not. It will be interesting.

It will barely be mentioned if mentioned.

A brief little side note, and nothing more.

Then contrast it with all the time spent on it ... attacking Trump.

Who knows how long those bruises were there?

She probably had someone grab her the night before so she could perpetuate this fraud.

People have been known to do that type of thing many times.

Good. Shapiro can now go to NR or CR where he will fit in perfectly.

“Lying Cruz”
Get your slander straight. Your Master, the Donald, says, “Lying Ted.”

All of the videos I see refute Field’s claims against Lewandowski. I see Fields approaching Trump on his starboard side as she darts into the Secret Service’s protective codon around Trump. One of the Secret Service agents then restrained her by her left arm to keep her from getting too close to Trump. No matter which camera angle is viewed, the man I see restraining Fields is wearing a light blue colored dress shirt under his dress jacket. This man also has a certain type of hair cut and thicker hair than Lewandowski’s. Lewandowski’s hair is very close cropped, thin, balding in front, and greying around the ears and at the back of his neck. The man who restrained Fields obviously does not have any of this greying and thinning hair. Camera angles facing Trump and Lewandowski reveal how Lewandowski was trailing Trump on Trump’s port side, which put Lewandowski many feet away on the opposite side of Trump. The cameras also show how Lewandowski’s dress shirt is a darker blue color in an unusual and distinctive shade of blue that is very unlike the light colored blue of the shirt on the man seen restraining Fields by her arm. Lewandowski appears to be far enough away from Fields to require a long leap and flying tackle to even get anywhere near to Fields. Unless someone can come up with any further videos that contradict what is seen so far; it appears that Fields has made a false accusation against Lewandowski, and it would have been a Secret Service agent who restrained her as required by their duty.

‘I wouldn’t ever claim to be conservative if you’re supporting Trump...’

Grammatically lucid is another thing you shouldn’t claim to be.

Breitbart was circumcised, too.

I shoul have made a reference to Lorena Bobbit. But Shapiro’s wife had a medical degree. Her cut would be cleaner. By the way. Shapiro and those other two flunkeys are talking bad about Trump as though nothing happened to Shapiro. Not mentioned. Why did Shapiro resign?
