One delegate has already said he may not vote for Trump.
Indeed, the pick axe is right on the root vein of the problem for sure. This opportunity cannot be wasted, Trump and team and supporters need to figure out how to neutralize the onslaught. Something unconventional is needed, maybe something like a “walkout” of sorts, and not just something symbolic.
This isn’t “news” ... they’ve been doing this since the beginning. If you would put an older date on this article it would look the same as it would have 6 months ago.
But it is working. Amazing watching what is happening here.
“Quick Matilda, fetch me my smelling salts! I feel a bad case of the vapors coming on.”
MSMDNCRNC about to eat a yuuuuge sh t sandwich...and hopefully with it, the biggest political/corporate globalist toilet flush in history.
Make it so.
Not having watched FNC for almost a year, I didn't know just how anti Trump they had become.
We are going to have to work hard to overcome all the negativity.
DNC DISTRAUGHT OVER HILLARYS LOOMING INDICTMENT
Film at 11 !
More media fabricated horse**it
Trump should confront the GOPe and give them an ultimatum. Cease this subversive campaign against me or I’m walking and taking my millions of voters with me. Call their bluff.
If Trump leaves, the GOP would be eviscerated and decimated. And they know it. He needs to get tough with them. Go Patton on them.
I think something is fixing to come which will definitively kill the Hillary campaign, some kind of email leak or other sitting on deck. The knowledge of an indefensible Hillary and her resultant dropping out could be the root of the desperation we are seeing regarding Trump, to see if they can unseat him before that event occurs and makes him s shoe in.
Who would be "in the know" on this? Obama for one. That could explain his recent hysteria. Which, by the way, came out just prior to the "kidnapping" disclosure.
And way too early in the game too. Something is up. I agree, they are way too far exposed now.
What is or may be happening here (assuming you mean here on FR) is without question “being affected by media spin” and is predictable. Hell, if you haven’t felt discouraged by the events of the past few days, you’re probably not paying attention. I’ll readily confess to it myself. I’ll readily confess that when Trump lets out some zinger, I am repeatedly thinking “why doesn’t this guy for once shut his freaking mouth?”
But for some balance:
First, we know the media does this. And they will conduct a teenage girls @ Bieber concert rush all to one side of the boat (mixing metaphors badly, sorry) trying to outgun themselves crapping all over Trump. So there is nothing unexpected here.
Let us also stipulate that if you wanna develop a building in NYC, this is possibly a 5-9 year process of acquiring properties and entitlements (term is used in a different way than “welfare”, in its commercial real estate meaning) and a 24 or 48 hour news cycle in short attention span theater is not only nothing, it is less than nothing.
History has shown that Trump has gotten over all of this dirtbomb-throwing.
It’s possible that one time, on one of these, he will give in and quit. That is not under your or my control and yeah, it would have the horrific effect of electing Hillary. Look, here election was preordained regardless of Repub opponent.
Just step back from the whirling blades. I am no more prescient than you or anyone else, all I or anyone can do is to imagine how very delicious it would be to defeat HRC. As far as I am concerned, a non trivial piece of America died the day she was let off for her blatant lying. Should she be elected, plenty more will die. Other than everything, what’s left to lose?
OMG, they are delusional. This man won’t give up until he’s in a coffin somewhere. They don’t get him at all.
Oh sure, Trump has spent $55 million of his personal fortune and he is just going to drop out.... OMG
I am probably the hundredth person to ask for the names of these ‘senior party officials’. But we want to know!
Media and Team Clinton [but I repeat myself] are probably petrified that Clinton will have a coughing or head-boppoing fit during a debate, because they know that would end her candidacy.
They are trying to figure out a way to get out of debates altogether.
A week or so ago former PA Gov Rendell was offering advice — to Trump. Basically, he said, ‘you don’t need the debates to win Pennsylvania, so why not just cancel them and stay on the campaign trail?’
[I am sure the Gov had Trump’s best interest at heart. Yeah, right.]
It is not just “being affected by media spin.” It is the significant degradation of intellect in the discussion. It is as if I was transported from a group of folks that could hold a serious debate even where they disagreed to a bunch of third graders that think calling someone a name is the peak of argument.
I look at the exaggerations and flat-out lies about perceived enemies. The “he’s dead to me” based on a false headline.
This current thread is a great example. The GOP leadership would be negligent if they haven’t reviewed the process if Trump drops out. That doesn’t mean they are taking active steps to kick him out. But some of the replies here are taking several steps extrapolating the actual situation and turning it into something approaching treason.
Maybe I’m just not used to these “New York” values. If that’s what it is. But it sure seems coarser around here lately.
Thanks for your response.
