The Washington Examiners Byron York notes that it has been two weeks since Donald Trump has done or said something particularly outrageous, such as attack his opponents wife. He ascribes this to the inclusion of Paul Manafort, a seasoned political professional who helped Gerald Ford beat back a challenge by Ronald Reagan at the 1976 Republic National Convention. Of course, Manafort started his tenure as part of Team Trump by Godwin sizing himself when he accused the Ted Cruz Campaign of using Gestapo tactics in winning delegates to his side, especially in states like Colorado and now Wyoming. Cruz has also made sure that a large number of Trump delegates will switch sides after the first ballot at the convention.

Cruz had no connection with placing an inappropriate photo of Donald’s wife from her modeling days?
Of course he did. Just another dirty trick by the slimy lying GOPe owned CANADIAN LAWYER.
Where is your proof of Cruz’s connection to the ad? Link please.
Put up or shut up.
I’m tired of FR being used to attack conservatives using liberal smear tactics.
^^This!^^
From Trump's very first step into the arena, this has been his sales pitch and demo, shining the lights of public attention and public outrage on one dark, festering GovCo damnation after another, after another, after another. Awesome!
And every time he does, the GovCo beast who's been feeding on US suddenly gets a belly ache, chokes a bit and spits up some of what we've been made to swallow. Yeah, baby!
No wonder the beast squeals like a stuck hog feeding at the trough now at the mere mention of Trump's name!
And now, as the calendar raises all their anxieties, just look at how the multi-headed beast now rallies itself together against The Donald!
Didn't see any of that coming...but I sure like the view.
Mostly because there is not a lot of difference between trumps policies and hillarys
To heck I would. Trump HAS to tone down his act, and HAS to hire competent GOP operatives to secure the nomination. He simply has to. Then he simply HAS to slide much more to the middle, to the left, to soften his positions to even stand even a minor chance of beating Cankles. And he WILL. He is a DINO ( but with pro business leanings) at his heart. Has been all his life. It's just that much of his most core and strong supporters, support what he was when he started out trying to secure the republican nomination. They won't like what he has to do to win. But they will stick with him. They just want to win, and supposedly stick it to the GOPe . Even though Trump will be the GOPe once he secures the nomination. If he allows himself to be outmaneuvered in the delegate counts ( which after all is really how you get the nomination) then his vaunted touting of his ability to be the best negotiator in any room will be proven as a false hollow empty farce. And if that then happens, and he runs wild card third party ( which he has explored several times in the past. remember the reform party?) then we will know his candidacy was all about getting Cankles elected.
But so far - he is on a major GOPe staff insider hiring mode, and trying to tone down his statements, and apparently actually trying to secure delegates now, and looking like he really is trying to win. I hope so.
Of course Cruz was responsible for being the first to attack family by posting an inappropriate photo of Donald’s wife. Who else? Typical dirty Cruz dirty tactics.
Cruzbots, go ahead and support your slimy CANADIAN LAWYER- but be prepared for 4-8 years of criminal Hillary in office to complete the destruction of of once great country.
Where is your proof of the Cruz connection to the ad? You have none or you wouldn’t dodge the issue.
They should go silent. Trump is right.
Americans are paying through the nose to latch ourselves to allies who are importing the enemy into their countries as fast as they can.
The Soviet Union dissolved over 20 years ago. Just exactly how long do we need an alliance to fight them?
If NATO's purpose has "evolved" then a revised treaty needs to be rewritten and be put before the Senate, as the Constitution demands.
It has been nice that Trump has finally saw fit to start controlling his statements, and being more measured in his demeanor. If only his more avid supporters would do the same.
He says what we're not allowed to say.
So Reagan was a dem when in his 60’s?
Really.
How many of Reagan’s people couldn’t vote for him due to being registered dems?
You are delusional enjoy the ride to nowhere.
Trump is very successful if you don’t count the 12 failed business ventures and 4 Real Estate bankruptcies.

watch for yourself
If this stream isn’t working tomorrow night I’m sure you can find another
Or just watch the news
Because anything Trump touches on makes the news
BTW Cruz’s isn’t called dirty- Just Lyin’ Ted because he lies about Trumps positions and about himself
Trump is very successful if you dont count the 12 failed business ventures and 4 Real Estate bankruptcies.
That leaves about a 92% success rate
I give that an “A”
BTW- those “bankruptcies” were either
a) restructuring the debt terms and then paying them off (Carl Icahn being his biggest creditor and still a close friend and partner)
b) turning over the business to the creditors to run when they would not accept a restructuring (in which case the new owners went bankrupt for real)
