Former Trump Advisor Roger Stone: "The Ruling Class Is Pissing Their Pants"
RealClearPolitics ^ | August 12, 2015 | RealClearPolitics

On "With All Due Respect," Former Donald Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone discusses his abrupt departure from the campaign, whether the real estate mogul can win the Republican nomination and who would potentially fill a “Trump void.” He also provides a glimpse inside the mind of “The Donald.”

Stone was advising Trump's presidential campaign but left right after the Megyn Kelly-FOX News debate debacle. Stone did not bash Trump and had nothing but praise to give.

Trump is part of or at least an associate of the ruling class.

He learned triangulation from his buddy Bill Clinton

“Trump is part of or at least an associate of the ruling class.”

The only candidates I can think of who weren’t during my lifetime were Pat Paulsen and Gus Hall. They are both dead.

Stone makes good points on Trump needing that 3rd party leverage. The RNC is plotting against him why jump in their trap?

In short; Roger Stone wants his job back. I hope Donald decides to unfire him. Stone knows that Donald will be reading every remark Roger says about him. Listen to Roger, Donald, and stay on message. We had a little fun last week, with Mean Girl Kelly, enough mind games for now.

Stone told Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin and John Heilemann the establishment is “pissing their pants” and that he believes the RNC has a war room specifically to take out Trump.

Indeed.

Very interesting video. One fact that stood out: he let the Reagan campaign use his jet to fly to Albany to file for the election.

I’m watching this love fest of a video wondering why Stone left.

You could be right.

My guess is Stone like so many thought Trump was dead after last week so he bailed. Now he probably regrets it. He never has badmouthed Donald he just panicked I think. As Stone himself says the normal political rules don’t apply here

I’m a Cruz guy all the way, but how utterly stupid would it be for Trump to surrender the 3rd Party threat? You don’t think the GOP-e is doing everything possible to take Trump out, albeit quietly?

Nuts to that.

I’ve wondered that too.

I read somewhere that Stone and Trump have gone through this a couple of other times- eventually they mend their fences.

The ruling class ruled for too long against the will and best interests of the American people.

The Ruling Class should instead, be happy we can solve our problems, politically.

Stone just seemed a little too Rahm Emmanuel with the threat to take out that reporter. Maybe there’s only room for one Donald on the team.

Funny though, somehow, some way, Trump does remind me a little bit of Steinbrenner.
