People didn’t believe me when I said Trump threw Lebowski under the bus.

I actually think this is a mistake. These old time old GOPe (and worse) political professionals did not help Michelle Bachmann, nor Scott Walker etc...

Lebowski got Trump there.

Opportunistic hacks like Manifold and ex-Walker professional don’t strike me as a good way for Trump to go.

Who knows. Only time will tell.

Trump's a counter-puncher. When it became obvious that the rules would be manipulated beyond comprehension, Trump brought in folks who could beat the players at their own game. Besides that, these are two very capable folks at the game that Cruz and other snakes can't add to their teams.

I'm wondering if it will also serve the purpose of having political insiders thinking it might not be such a good idea to play these games with Cruz.

My two pennies:

I think Trump is just shuffling the deck chairs to finally end all of the media frenzy over Mr L’s supposed man-handling. He isn’t getting rid of him, just moving him around. Don’t forget: ‘symbolism over substance’, ‘perception over facts’- that’s how the Lib’s brains work....this way it looks like he is reacting to their cries on behalf of the “War On Women” group (or WOW)- by appearing to punish Mr L so that we can all move on, put a fork in this woman’s ridiculousness and call it done! And on to the next manufactured crisis to try and stop Trump...
