Good morning, all!
Thanks for starting off our day and new thread.
Looking forward to today’s Trump rally....and, will be watching the Sunday shows with Corey and Manafort. So sick of this delegate carp.
Hi Cboldt,
I really liked your summary of the Wallace interview with Corey (FNS doesn’t come on here for about 1-1/2 hours).
I’m posting your summary below for our TF members.
Lewandowski won’t apologize to Fields, he’s tried to speak with her, but she’s not responsive to his overtures.
Wallace is doing his best to knock Trump out, as “not unitied,” and he uses Colorado and Wyoming as the foundation for his attack against Trump. Shifts the discussion from one of uniting to one of competncy in following the party rules. Lewandowski points out Florida, where the state chair seated 30+ #NeverTrump delegates. Lewandowski acknowledges that the rules exist, and that insiders have relatively more power in certain states, but that insidder status is a pay for play sort of affair.
Wallace asks what was meant by “the RNC could be in for a rough July?” Lewandowski says the RNC should respect Trump’s position as leader, and support him. Wallace asks if “rough July” means riots! LOL What a putz. Of course not, says Lewandowski, what is meant is fractured party. Trump is the only one who can unite the party and win vs. the DEM.
“Are you going to sweep 95 delegates in NY?” Not sure, says Lewandowski.
Wallace talks about Manafort - says Manafort is running the show, not you (Lewandowski). Trying to sow dissent in the Trump camp! Hahahha. Won’t work. lewandowski is fine with the people who have been brought on board, and the goal and vision is looking past the convention. Now is the time to grow, the team has been lean.

Oh how funny.....
Trump on Wyoming Convention: ‘I’m Not Wasting My Money’
“Wyoming actually said they’re going to save costs, and didn’t want to go to an election with the people,” Trump told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” program in an early morning telephone interview.
“They said that yesterday, and I said wow, that’s something,” said Trump. “I’m funding my own campaign, and I’m putting up my own money. I’m not going to go out and waste a lot of money...I don’t want to waste money going to Wyoming, sending crews for months and months knowing you’re not going to beat the bosses. I’ve beaten the bosses.”

Hi Jane,
Looks like RSBN will be carrying Trump’s presser on Staten Island at 11:30 this morning.
Preibus is on 3 shows and I’m sure all they will talk about is the delegate cr@pola
I doubt his internal polls are worrying. I think he’s trying to make sure he goes over 50% in the state and in as many congressional districts as possible to get the most delegates he can.
Newt is going to be on Maria B’s show (starts at top of upcoming hour) on Fox News Channel (she’s normally on Fox Biz) but has a pretty good show on FNC on Sunday a.m.’s.
Good morning, ALL! Another day of rallies! Yea! GO TRUMP!
Take your CONcern, Mr cRuzbobber, and get outta here. This is a Trump rally thread, you can voice your opinions on general threads.
Good morning!
It wasn’t on the list, but looks like Manafort was on Fox News Sunday, too. Read he said basically the same thing there and on This Week with Lil’ Georgie S.
Wallace is such an elitist...he has his nose so far up the GOPe’s backside, it’s not funny.
Seriously? That’s all you got?
You Cruzers. Steal, lie, and lie some more. Then steal some more. Give politics a bad name-—and I didn’t think anyone could do that.
Thanks...
That’s Gene Hackman? WOW! Your good.
Nah..I think Trump wants a blowout in New York to propel him to big victories in New England a Mid-Atlantic states.
Good morning to you, too.
THANKS nik for the HARD Trivia and New Thread. Its very appreciated.
>>>Great summary “Sherman” as always.<<< Very informative and reported like a Pro you certainly are.
Beautiful and sunny here in Southern IN today. I have a couple Weigela Florida, Spilled Wine to plant today thanks to the WI freeper who brought this flower to the attention of the Garden Thread last weeekend. I bought 2 to help fill in the spaes in my sad looking neglected yard.
