>>I hate to say this but Trump brings this on himself with his loose and inexact pronouncements.
Yeah. He needs a TelePrompTer to get his nuances right.
These so-called Republicans should show their true colors fully and register as Democrats, instead of playing this game.
All they need is four more years. By then they’ll have 100 million 80 IQ 3rd worlders here.
Jeff Flake of AZ. is another RINO like McCain, neither represent the old GOP....rather they represent the new GOPe. In lieu of supporting Donald Trump, Flake would rather see Hillary Clinton win. This GOPe is eating their own party’s choice...they have a habit of doing that if the GOPe can’t have its way.
They are using the exact playbook that was used to marginalize the Tea Party: 1) Back stabbing from RINOS, 2) carpeting bombing by the MSM and 3) a full frontal attack from rampaging Dems. Trump needs to outflank the GOPe ASAP or this is going to get dicey.
By the way, what is with his ongoing racist war on this judge? After all - it isn’t wise to throw trash at a sitting judge sitting over a case involving you in the first place... but to continue to launch race-laden bile... seriously?
Yeah, almost as bad as Ted Cruz insulting millions of Trump voters by slurring them as “low info”. Cruz attacking GOP primary voters? Seriously?
I don’t really believe the Rules Committee wants to commit suicide by changes to the nomination rules one week out, prior to the Convention.
The place will be stacked to the rafters with Cruz supporters, many who replaced delegates for Trump, but who surely won’t play ball with the UniParty in order to elect Hillary.
Trust is a rare commodity today, however, and total trust is extinct, so there is that factor.
The GOPe are clearly laying the ground work for a divisive convention. They want to deny Trump a crowning moment and weaken him.
No doubt Cruz & Ryan will try to bully Trump into doing something humiliating at the convention like allowing a “this is not who we are” vote against Trump by the delegates. With Ryan and Cruz involved in the convention there is guaranteed to be some such GOPe nonsense, IMO.
Then they and the party should die. It is time for a political revolution and the sycophantic GOP needs to be relegated to history.
You are right that Flake is McCain’s lackey. The damn fool forgets that ARIZONA went 2 to 1 for Trump. And poor little Flakey wasn’t tortured in Viet Nam.
Trump thinks multi steps ahead. My guess is he'll have his lawyers address it and marry it to the racist judge.
This is what you get when you have sore losers. As a kid, I played marbles with these poor sports who, as soon as the game goes bad for them, they would put all their marbles in the sock and make some excuse for going home. Once they get the reputation for doing it, no one in the neighborhood wanted to play with them. I guess people never learn a damn thing in life.
We may imagine the Republican convention as one with turmoil and conflict. Wait for the Democrat Convention. The Bernies are setting up camps for their demonstrators against the Beast. They are calling it Woodstock 0.2 and it will not be all fun and games. I can imagine real chaos for the Democrats.
The Rules Committee meets the week before the Convention to develop the proposed 2016 Rules
which will be presented for adoption at some point in the Convention process.
