http://Twitter.com/@benswann_ Ben Swann takes a look at threats by the GOP to possibly ban Donald Trump from future debates if he is unwilling to pledge not to run as an independent in the general election. Can the RNC actually ban Trump? This is a Reality Check you won’t see anywhere else. Lets talk about this on Twitter.

Recognition is far more dangerous to the GOPe than “rage” is. You get embarrassed by rage, you calm down and swear to be more “reasonable”. What happens when the scales fall from your eyes is another matter altogether, they WISH it was “rage”!
Two weeks ago called - they want their meme back.
“He has also kept his financial powder dry, and no one would hold it aagainst him if he responded by buying a half-hour of prime network time to frame his message as he sees fit.”
Actually he can have the same impact and not give the mainstream media his money for advertising. Trump can set up a live streaming internet feed showing him commenting on the questions and the responses of the other candidates in real time. Then post a recording of his live commentary on the YouTube.
If he does this, he’ll likely have a bigger audience for his streaming commentary than the network does for the actual broadcast of the debate. In fact, Trump might be able to sell his live commentary to a competing network to run concurrent with the debate. Competition is a beautiful thing and Trump knows how to get the most bang for the buck.
Good idea.
1-10 = Democrat POTUS in 2016.
Trump has a potentially viable strategy to win either way.
If the RNC is going to exclude Trump, they need to do it sooner rather than later for maximum effect - and it still probably won’t be enough to marginalize him.
The other candidates look like wimps (or worse) in comparison to Trump.
Trump’s immigration stance appeals to a sizable chunk of centrist democrats - key for a third party run - akin to “Reagan Democrats”
If the RNC excludes him at the last minute, he’ll get a sizeable chunk of “sympathy vote” and it will make him more palatable to some Democrats.
Down the line - if Trump continues to grow in popularity and the RNC excludes him, it may mean the end of the GOP, rather than the end of Trump.
They had better include the man into the debates. Trump made a serious comment in AL and it could cost him.
What he said.
“I wish the election were today” (OK I would also if I were you)
“We dont need and election” (SAY WHAT?!)
I hope he was saying that in jest and had better make it clear it was in jest, or it will hurt him.
Your good!
I am a Ted Cruz supporter, i.e. Cruzader
1..The GOPe isn't exactly to sure if they can put ‘their’ person in the White House....
2..The GOPe is wondering if this support we have for Trump is really real, or if we are just doing this because we don't like who the GOPe has running...
3..The GOPe is not that stupid to think that Trump would fall for something like this, he's probably already heard this crap weeks ago and has a plan...
4..If the GOPe is this stupid, all Trump would have to say to those of us that support him is that he is going to do his own debate on this channel at this time on this day, and would bury the GOPe once and for all....
Whoever this head honcho thinks he is of the GOPe, he's not very bright...he might think he's the one that walks on water, but in about a day and a half, he would find he is a little turd floating in the gutter of any city in the United States...
WE ARE TRUMP SUPPORTS, and you mess with us anymore than you mess with Trump!!!
It would hurt him with me.
“Mean Girls.” We don’t want to play with you, Donny! Waaaah.
It only makes the RNC look more like the true opposition to the People of the USA than they do today.
this would be awesome
it would insure that Trump wins.
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Trump could host his own debates.
....”the Vichy RNC would not support him financially:....
More than likely Trump is already prepared if they don’t.
One thing I’m hearing from many is that those who once thought this was simply an act for Trump are taking him now very seriously and believe he means to win this for the very reasons he’s stated and continues to state. These are people who have spoken with Trump and his team who were confused and or misdirected to think otherwise.
How we split the difference and call it “righteous indignation”?
I guess that’s an okay term between me and you, but in dealing with the establishment GOP and its leadership, it is still rage in my book.
We will go nowhere with them in charge, and letting them and their proxies manipulate the process to elect a new President necessitates something far beyond “indignation,” frankly.
