“Again...you’re part of the problem.”

You should post that a few dozen more times and see if that makes it any more true.

“Predictable.

So predictable that I predicted it months ago.”

I predicted you would predict that.

I actually watched Megyn Kelly last night because Manafort was on. The guy is intimidating as hell. You can just tell he means serious business. He reminds me of Luca Brasi except billions of times smarter.

There’s the establishment and the individual members of the establishment. I think the “establishment” has become a grid of interdependencies that prevents competent, honest people from being the best that they can be.

Break apart some joints in the grid and many of those competent, honest individuals can do constructive things and speak their minds. They will have a place in Trump’s new establishment.

Hey funerals can be beautiful to watch and this one will be particularly lovely with the GOPe deserving (well, probably not) of a proper funeral dirge and burial.

He’s reaching out to them as they try to cut off his arm!

ROTTEN, miserable NRSC, NRCC still using Trump to raise $$ for their own!

Roger Stone says the “Great America” PAC is a fraud and not pro Trump as it says.

I was a bush supporter years ago. the more I learn about the bush family the more disgusted I get. the biggest mistake Reagan made as a president was allowing the bush family association with his presidency. the bush family literally destroyed all the work that Reagan did...I will never be supportive of a bush in politics. the family has just to much history of doing what is best for there family. this history goes all the way back to Prescott bush.
America does not need family political dynasties... no bush, no Clintons and no Kennedy. and if trump is elected I hope his kids understand the negative impact that trying to be a politician would have for the country.

There’s an article out there that details all the things HW Bush undid when he got it. I wish I could find it.

What’s predictable?

You’re saying he shouldn’t unite the party? Why is it assumed the GOPe will woo Trump to their ways?

I am a conservative—I had to hold my nose and vote, Dole, McCain, Romney. Now the GOPe Moderate—penny loafer Republicans will have to do the same to pull the lever for Trump. They can deal with him better than Cruz.

Here’s a great example of Paul “The Beast” Manafort in action.

Even without the Trump issue, don’t give money to the NRCC or NRSC. Donate to individual Senators’ or candidates’ campaigns. To cite just one example, recall that the NRSC bankrolled Charlie “Now A Liberal Democrat” Christie 6 years ago — didn’t even wait to see if he’d win against the far-preferable Rubio.

Since you are so “concerned” about all the proprieties why not go read up on the party rules and then let us all know? We will be waiting on pins and needles for your report. LOL!

Not sure why you’re asking me?

He seems to be an effective and well experienced delegate rustler. He comes across as very calm but it’s the kind of calm that you don’t want to mess with.

So far so good, Indiana is a done deal. When he first went onboard he said Trump would take it in the first round.
