Why would you ever believe the pap coming out of the Post??

GOP-e is worried that Trump is going to pee all over their DC graft-gravy train.

According to Politico he also met with 200 Pubbies from the House and had a very cordial, constructive meeting. Curious he should run into landmines with the Senate group. Curious but not unexpected.

Republicans Senators run crying to the Washington Post with stories about Trump.

None of these Republicans would dare stand up to Clinton and Obama.

Trump is the only Republican with an ounce of courage or integrity. These Republicans are weak cowardly little backstabbers.

Why would anyone believe anything written in the Washington Post about Donald Trump?

As Newt said at the rally last night, Trump: "...isn't going to re-set the table in D.C., he's going to kick the table over!"

The Washington Post doesn’t even have to care about making a profit any more. It has a billionaire patron who just wants it as a propaganda tool. Same for NY times.

The Washington Post sucks, as do the RINOs that attended the meeting in order to badmouth Trump afterwards.
