The operative recalled how previous candidates had wined and dined McQuaid [publisher Union Leader], kissed his ring, done the whole fawning routine in hopes of winning the paper's endorsement. And when McQuaid didn't give it to them they ... kept mouths shut. Deep inside, they wanted to say to McQuaid the kinds of things Trump actually said, but they didn't have the wherewithal to do it. Truth be told, the operative found Trump's reaction pretty hilarious.
Trump really hit McQuaid and the paper hard yesterday at his rally in Nashua, NH! It was a good speech IMHO. The link to it is in the Trump Live Rally thread from 1-29.
