Like I’m going to respond to someone who chooses the name “Timmy” as his defining moniker. Buzz off!

He said it on Television? Where, when, and what is wrong with it? Maybe he was trying to earn money to help himself with the cost of his college studies at Goucher College, where he graduated in 1991?

Actually the way the game is played is EXACTLY what the Trump supporters are upset about.

When Trump signed up to run as a Republican, he signed on to the rules that govern the process of selecting (yes that is the right word) a candidate. If Trump and his supporters don't like the rules, then they can blow up the process. But that is kinda like setting of a nuke in a room because you don't like the color of the paint. That will also guarantee a democRAT victory.

So it is OK FOR YOU to act this way but some how a major issue if Trump shoots back at his attacker?

The hypocrisy there is pretty strong.

If this had been a two-person race from the beginning -- as the Democratic race has been since Iowa -- Trump would probably be as far behind as Bernie Sanders is.

This is an ignorant statement. When has the out-of-office party ever had a two-person primary? Answer: Going back to 1960, never.

I didn't say Milt Romney, I said Milt Romley.

Milt Romley, Milt Romley, Milt Romley.

AKA Mittens, The Mittster... and as of yesterday, Failure and Embarrassment and cowardly, craven venality personified in all worldwide media.

Milt. Romley.

Last night, on national TV, Trump reversed himself on H1B visas, the very thing he had two Disney employees campaigning with him on

Why did he do that? That issue could have won him a lot of support among educated professionals.

Act what way? I merely pointed out Trump’s own proudly touted tactics and the fact that he whines like a victim if someone does half as much in return.

I get the whole alliance thing and thats how the game is played, however, I dont see Trump complaining about the establishment tactics one bit!

perhaps you can apply this arguement to his supporters, but you cant use this argument to criticize Trump.

He didn’t complain.
He was doing just fine
Then candidate/not candidate/candidate/thief Romney decided to jump in for what, again?
To steal the nomination by gumming up the works and throwing millions of dollars into the system. He didn’t endorse a candidate, so he obviously wants the nomination but doesn’t want to run. A lazy man letting others do his dirty work and he takes the prize.

Kinda how he runs his businesses, no?

Hahaha. Trump is abusing his power in the Republican party? Is that the latest attack? All he’s done is run a campaign and has gotten more votes than others. Exactly how is he abusing power and what power exactly does he have in the GOPe other than those free citizens whom have chosen to vote for him?

Townhall.com shouldn’t complain about being called a shill for the anti Trump movement either.

No. I said Trump is an abuse of power WAITING TO HAPPEN, that is if he gets elected to the highest office in the land.

When you say this to Trump supporters, they reply by hurling a word-salad about a shadowy organization called "The Establishment"

It's not shadowy. It operates right out in the open. We're talking about you, Jonah. Along with Mitt Romney, John McCain, Linda Gramnesty, and all the other tools, shills, toadies, lickspittles, catspaws, cronies, spokesmodels and plutocrats.

If the establishment steals the nomination at the convention all bets are off and everything is on the table.

“When losing to the star of a reality TV show”

“Reality TV show”???

Whatever became of the billions of dollar business that made the reality show possible?

What about the long struggle to grow the business?

Could Jonah Goldberg be hired to star in that same show?

What kind of TV show could Jonah Goldberg be hired to star in?

It could possibly be a TV show where Goldberg discourses about people who actually accomplish things, other than just talk about people who do things, which is what he does.

Bullsh!t Jonah. There was a deal made between the Republicans and Trump if he would not run third party. It is the Republicans who are reneging on the deal. So go pound sand Jonah.
