Stanley S. Hubbard himself might consider it breaking news. On Monday, the chairman and CEO of Hubbard Broadcasting — a leader in the Dump-Trump effort — joined the advisory committee of Great America PAC, the pro-Donald Trump SuperPAC.

“I just agreed with [Trump PAC organizer] Ed Rollins this morning to be on a committee, the first Trump PAC,” Hubbard said in interview. “I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do that as an advisor,’ and we’ll see how much money I have to give.”

Earlier, Hubbard gave $10,000 to Our Principles PAC, which was attempting to defeat Trump. He was also an early backer of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s presidential campaign, and eventually donated money to several of the Republican candidates for president. He didn’t like Trump’s style and some of the extreme positions he staked out.

But now, he says, he has no choice.

My perception is that he’s raising money, not strategizing or advising.

“....the chairman and CEO of Hubbard Broadcasting — a leader in the Dump-Trump effort.”........

So does that mean his stations will no longer be broadcasting anything related to the “Dump Trump” cause?

“It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.”
—Lyndon B. Johnson

Big tents are good. And Trump wants the tent full. Unlike the #NeverTrumpers who want lots of space for themselves. And if there’s not enough elbow room inside #NeverTrumpers will stay outside and piss in.

If you can't beat em, join em.

That being said, Rollins is a loser.

.. I donated to the Cruz campaign, advised the campaign, and voted for Ted Cruz in the Missouri primary ..

According to Roger Stone, Trump has disavowed any connection to Ed Rollins or that PAC. What he intends to do about it, I don't know.

Here's a link to the youtube video where he tells Alex Jones about it, but I don't remember exactly where in the video it comes up.
