Raw Story.
IF (Big IF) this is true, then this a s seriously STUPID mistake for Trump.
NOBODY with half a political brain would go within 1000 miles of these Bundy baffoons.
The author has its panties in a wad over Trump not correcting a true statement about Muslims, I flag this a liberal hit piece.
I agree. Trump should NOT embrace this action. Although some of the ideas behind what prompted the action should be addressed, this is not the hill to die on. There is a reason that the Oath Keepers and 3% groups are NOT participating or endorsing this takeover.
That depends (note, Cruz is my first choice, not Trump, but I approve of Trump far more than Rubio, Christie, or Jeb). If true, and if Trump handles it well, it could be more free publicity, with very little downside. The risk is something unforeseen that reflects badly on Trump, but my guess is that he can handle the unforeseen well if it shouldn't reflect on him.
The federal government was very much in the wrong sending these two ranchers back to prison after they had served their sentences. So far, I have seen no sign that these "Occupy A Building in the Middle of Nowhere" protesters are violent or guilty of any significant crimes. If they are just drawing attention to Obama's vindictive prosecutions and persecutions of conservatives, this could be yet another boost for Trump.
I wouldn't go there, but I don't have Trump's billions or his instincts for handling tough situations. I wouldn't mind seeing this help Trump, and it has the potential to do just that, without motivating leftist voters in November.
Should we get you a fainting couch or perhaps some smelling salts?
Really man, it's painfully clear you are nothing more than a half-cocked statist jackboot thug - what are you doing on a CONSERVATIVE forum??? This place is for REAL AMERICANS.
I don't see anything in this article that says that Trump sent this guy, or that he is there in any way in his capacity as someone involved in the "Veterans for Trump" group. Trump couldn't possibly control (nor should he try to control) the activities of everyone involved at any level of his campaign.
He could take Nevada if this is all resolved to the Bundy’s satisfaction. IF of course Trump actually has anything to do with this.
If Trump somehow engineers a peaceful end to this he will come out smelling like roses.
I am no fan of Trump but there is no indication Trump is involved with or endorses this "campaign official" meeting with the protesters.
How are the Bundy’s buffoons?
