The Washington Times ^ | 1/27/16 | R. Hallow

Posted on 01/28/2016 5:03:17 AM PST by Be Careful

Mr. Trump’s warning appears to have worked, at least for now. Several influential leaders on the Republican National Committee withdrew plans to lower the nomination threshold and make it easier for other candidates to challenge Mr. Trump at the convention.

I’m not so sure if it’s ads or ad tracking or both. My IE tracking protection options says it is blocking ad tracking from 34 services on that sight.

It loads up like a dream when they are blocked.

New York values. Most New Yorkers would show up and defend themselves, instead of a whining bully beech who’s afraid to show up.

It has nothing to do with defending one’s self. This is big game stuff. He is breaking the back of the establishment to include GOPe and faux media........

This is what they say today. The RNC is as liberal as the DNC, say you are not going to do x and then pass the resolution after midnight. Don’t believe for a second they will not change the rules if Jeb is still losing.

LOL! The 'coward' and 'bully' charges ring pretty hollow when it's be made abundantly clear that Fox wasn't hosting a debate, but planning an ambush.

DON’T BELIEVE THIS FOR ONE SECOND FREEPERS!

Karl Rove and his Sell out America Establishment Rats are just trying avoid the debate about this. This is because they cannot win the debate.

Hence, we are not doing this “conspiracy” theorist.

You better believe these filthy rats will do ANYTHING to stop Trump.

They scrapped the plan because not one of their candidates are in the top four. Broker the convention, and the establishment wouldn’t even be allowed into the room much less have a seat at the table.

Those “NY values” are a reflection of the Northeast / country-club Republicans [Think: Kennebunkport, Bar Harbor and the mythical Cabot’s Cove].

These citizens have no concept of the patriotic values of “fly-over country”. As a group, they navel-gaze.

For sure. Jeb and Rubio campaigns were pushing for the change.

Trump is not a fool or a patsy.

Trump lives to win.

I NEVER use IE except for updates. Learned my lesson. Chrome or Firefox are much better and safer.

Every New Yorker I’ve ever known was smart enough to recognize an ambush and to not walk into it like a chump.

Gotta hand it to him. His campaign was meticulously planned, and his execution nearly flawless.
