The trouble started more than a week ago. Chris Christie was three days into his presidential campaign on July 2, yet he kept getting thrown off message with questions about Donald Trump. The New Jersey Governor, known for his attitude and bombast, flashed a frustrated glare at reporters. “I’ve said this now about eight or nine times. I’ll say the same thing again,” he said on the street in downtown Nashua between campaign stops. “The comments were inappropriate.” That much was clear.

“When Donald trump speaks about Hispanics, if I’m the smart Republican that stage, I’m going to rally and defend Hispanics and be their voice and become their champion,” says Ari Fleischer, the former Bush White House Press Secretary who co-authored the party’s 2012 autopsy calling for more outreach to Latino voters.
“My advice to Republican candidates is to say the truth: “Trump is not representative of the Republican Party. He doesn’t reflect our values and isn’t focused on the best interests of the country or the party.” And then they’ll have no reasons to answer Trump questions again,” said Tony Fratto, the managing partner at GOP firm Hamilton Place Strategies and a former Deputy White House Press Secretary in the Bush 43 administration.

Trump’s got “MO” on his side as they say in football, momentum.
I must have missed it in all the controversy and yip-yip-yapping out there.
GOPe and “new tactics” in the same sentence.
That’s funny right there!
The more hissy fits thrown by the GOP elite, the better Trump looks!
Gitt over it, FatBoy
Do you disagree with the substance of what he said, or just the way he said it?
If the former or both . .than YOU are out of touch and incompetent to run NJ let alone the USA
Viva la Trump! Speak on, Brother, speak on! Illegal immigration MUST STOP. And the hypocrites who support it need to find something constructive with their lives.
It's a false premise. One can't draw a valid conclusion from a false premise.
NOTE TO GOPe- Start acting like conservatives instead of acting as agents of the US Chamber of Commerce... and then get back to us...in the meantime...Go Donald! (saying what GOP should have been saying about illegal immigration)

I hope they do that. Over and over. Checkmate.
Figures.
Say nothing about the most dishonest and inept female in the multiverse (oops, forgot repulsive), but devote energy towards bringing down the guy who pretty much nails our country’s problems.
The GOP is dead,deceased, assumed room temp, longing for the fiords.
This is the plan. Hissy fits.
Its really stupid to ignore ones base. Every time the GOP does that they lose.
well, Trump said they are illegally coming here and committing crimes...well, that one in San Francisco proved Trump right. So? Why can’t the GOP man up and pick a game plan...Trump has the ball rolling. Let’s fix this. But, NO...they need to cover it up. They are too scared of losing the Hispanic vote. Illegals are not entitled to vote anyway. What are they worried about?
Why?
Does the GOP not agree with Trump’s statements and assessment of illegal immigration in America?
If so, let them argue for it, and we’ll see who voters agree with.
If most of them actually tell the truth as they see it, they will never be elected again to any office.
The Ironic thing is While the Establishment RINOS are pushing the Chrispy, Jeb type that will drive away the base.
It will also cost McConnell his Majority Leader chair...
Bye Bye Post Turtle!
Here’s one=
Stop being so dang politically correct and choosing your words as not to ‘offend’ anyone and tell the truth that the real, silent, working Americans want to hear.
Bad move. If you’re fighting Trump, you’re NOT fighting Hillary.
OMG ROFL I just spit out some chips from my mouth. That is so funny.
The Cheap Labor Express has been leaning on their lackeys to squelch Trump.
They have spent millions preventing us from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation.
