What the RNC/GOP are really afraid of is Trump winning in a landslide giving him a mandate to shut down The Cheap Labor Express and deporting the cheap labor already imported.
The employers of illegal aliens like their compliant workforce.

Trump is now consistently on message hinting that Hillary does not have the stamina to be president. I think Trump is signaling the democrats that he knows Hillary has serious health issues.

Notice that Trump has said he is releasing his health records saying that his health is perfect. You know that he will harass Hillary to release hers. He has been harping on this in the last few rallies when he never mentioned it. He knows something and is starting to intimidate the democrats.

I agree.

All Republicans should now attack Democrats.

Then, we vote for the most effective guy.

“I also think the markets can drop 20-30% this month.”

Probably January. The big boys need those year end bonuses and a big stock run up.

There have been reports for sometime about Hillary not being in good health.

Will the delegates be instructed to NOT vote for Trump at the convention?

The delegates that got there by signing up to be Trump delegates?

Toomey cooked his own goose when he teamed up with WV’s Manchin on that failed gun control bill. PA is still a big gun rights state.

--There was an article a few weeks ago by this well known pundit whose name I cannot recall who said that if Trump was able to blow off criticism regarding that handicapped reporter that he would be the nominee hands down!

That was Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert.

They may not be able to hold it together until January.

I trade for a living and you can tell the markets are signaling something not yet apparent for all to see. Something is wrong. there are so many indicators that are signaling systemic collapse.

It's a weasel word that can mean many things.

I am a big Trump detractor. If the standard bearer, I'll vote for him. Let's see how much of his hubris becomes a reality.

Correct. That was the guy. Well guess what. Trump swatted and crushed this nonsense about the handicapped reporter.

‘He needs to destroy Hillary so completely, that her own pantsuit votes against her.”

Imagine, that poor pantsuit. Each and every individual thread screaming for mercy, in absolute pain for having to keep that nasty things rear end from ballooning all over the place. And the stench, OMG, let’s not go there.

If there were such a thing a pantsuit abuse laws, she’d already be in jail.

Delegates are connected to the candidate. IE; they are part of the candidates campaign.

The GOP is being forcibly taken over by the rank and file, the populists, the voters. The Old Guard is rightly afraid that they will not have the power they used to have.

Yellen said the economy is doing great. That is a dead give away that we will be in recession next year.

The Republican upper crust put themselves in their current situation.

Had they listened to the grass roots voters and workers who delivered huge election victories in the mid-terms of 2010 and 2014, the Trump phenomenon might never have happened.

People are tired of the lies.

The old guard knows Trump moniker very very well. You’re fired!
