Donald Trump Begins to Plot His Post-Nomination Future
New York Times ^ | 9:24 am ET | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 05/04/2016 6:59:40 AM PDT by Milhous

Donald J. Trump will decide in the next week whether to accept support from “super PACs.” He is leaning toward a conventional political figure as a vice presidential pick. He has not yet spoken with Senator Ted Cruz. And those haters who’ve been the most critical of him? He doesn’t necessarily want their support.

Those were a handful of comments Mr. Trump made in four phone-in interviews on morning TV shows the day after he became the Republican party’s presumptive nominee.

Mr. Trump told the hosts of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, in his first appearance of the day, that he was debating whether to accept support from super PACs. Mr. Trump had made bashing such groups a staple of his campaign stump speeches, and a change to embrace taking unlimited contributions from a single donor would be significant.

What it really comes down to now, is who has the most baggage, and skeletons in the closet. Trump or Hilliary?

Donald Trump will create a new party of the middle class republicans and the middle class democrats.

The question is how he goes about solidifying it.

It’s long overdue.

On the one side were those who want war and robber baronism and they promised us our moral beliefs would be upheld. So against our good sense about security and economic well-being we listened.

One the other side were those who wanted callousness toward life, gross immorality, and big government, but they promised us jobs and economic security at home, and some of us listened to them.

And the sides combined and we were offered no security, chaos abroad, no moral common sense, no jobs, and fascist elitism. We got all the bad and none of the upside. Total betrayal by both parties.

Now we have one who is saying we can have common sense national, international, and moral policies...all of it. Trump.

Let’s see how this greatest salesman, deal-maker of our time makes his case to the American people. It’s going to be fascinating.

Trump wears his skeletons on his sleeve. Hillary hides her skeletons.

Trump will pull Hilary’s skeletons out of that closet and put the X-ray machines on them.

Not quite, as you hint. NYT used "plot" to make it sound sinister.

He will have to take PAC money for the general. I think everyone knew that. Too late, though, for them to influence anything except keeping Cankles out.

Trump needs to begin every speech with the question: “Why isn’t Hillary in prison?”

I was wondering why he hadn’t paid them yet. Better to have others do so, eh?

It seems to me that all he has to say about her right now IS that she ought to be in prison. It’s a good approach.
