This is two positive, or at least not negative, articles on Trump by NR today. Are they feeling the effect of subscription cancellations? The republican pundit class was all GOPe up until today, protecting their incomes and access to cocktail parties. Have they realized the GOPe now is the losing side and want to get with the winner?

[Then, the man who wrote “The Art of the Deal” is going to be ready to deal. “]

Reminds me of when in The Godfather, the story of how the Don got the bandleader to release Johnny Fontaine from his contract...

I know Trump wouldn’t do that, but I imagine his deal making to be just as powerful.

Never happen. Trump was so focused on going scorched earth that how could he possibly appoint someone he has called a liar, dangerous, and crazy to any position. Not much fore thought there, which is poor planning.

Instead of saying “President Donald Trump” try saying “President Hillary Clinton.”

If that doesn’t straight up frighten the hell out of you, you haven’t been paying attention.

He does need 1237 delegates to get the nomination, but the delegates of both Trump and Cruz could come together and give him the delegates he needs. That however does not mean that he will get the necessary 270 electoral votes to win the election.

You know the rats will do anything to get Hillary Rotten Clinton to be the next president, because it's her time and she "deserves" to be president.

If that’s the case, and I believe it is, then Cruz is more dumb than we thought - by allowing himself to become the whipping boy of the establishment. Shame on Ted.

Try? He also has all those out-of-reach-for-his-voters hotels and country clubs for “perks” to the elite.

You left off Goldman Sachs, whom we’re mad at because of their address I guess.

On the other hand I don’t buy all the negative crap about Trump either.

Blame the bloggers. They’ll sell nekkid pix of their mamas just to get a few hits.

In the mean time Cruz eligibility case arrives at the
Pennsylvania State Supreme Court. Next step SCOTUS?

************

Who has brought the case? Any speculation on the outcome?

http://www.knowyourphrase.com/phrase-meanings/What-Am-I-Chopped-Liver.html

What Am I, Chopped Liver?

A rhetorical question used by a person who feels they are being given less attention or consideration than someone else.

The origin of this phrase is not really clear. I have, however, heard of two theories that may indicate how this expression came to be. The first is that liver is not always viewed on the same level as others foods. For example, if a person is cooking a chicken, they’ll oftentimes throwaway the giblets, you know, like the liver or gizzard. Or instead of throwing the giblets away, the person will cook them, not for themselves, but for their pets to eat. Hence, since liver is not usually as desirable to eat as other foods, the expression might spring from such an idea.

Another explanation, as Wikipedia explains, is that “chopped liver was traditionally served as a side dish rather than a main course.” So the idea would be that sometimes, a person might feel like their thoughts or feelings are not being considered fully as they should, so they feel as though they are being treated like a side dish.

The phrase is used in a comic strip from the Ames Daily Tribune newspaper, 1971. The comic is called Winthrop, written by Dick Cavalli, who later discontinued it:

* Jake asked Chell and myself what we thought of his new hat, but he seemed to ignore my comments... what am I, chopped liver?

Note: The origins for many phrases are not really clear, so in such cases, what you’ll probably see me listing on a page are theories as to how a phrase may have come to be, but keep in mind that these are theories. As for the quotes, I try to find the oldest recordings that I can. The quotes I find usually come from old books, poems, or newspapers, and serve as an indicator for how far back in history a phrase goes.

Good article— but Rick Perry?? lol.. So, if Trump comes a few votes shy of 1237, the delegates are gonna vote for a guy who Trump trounced in the voting? When Perry left, I believe he was close to 0 percent of the voter’s choice.

Ahem, some people actually like eating haggis, chopped or otherwise. In fact, I’m, going back in six weeks to feast on more.;-)

Trump will only ever be the President of his own fan club. The man is hated by most Americans and almost half of all conservatives. Decent people won’t vote in favore of a misogynistic, narcissitic bully for President.

Not only are political parties not defined by the Constitution, but they exist to control 10th Amendment-protected state powers and associated state revenues which the corrupt Washington cartel has been stealing from the states since the end of the Civil War, and arguably since the administration of President George Washington.

The problem that patriots seem to be having with the political parties is this. Since patriots today have grown up with the political parties, patriots wrongly think that the parties are in integral part of the constitutional republic.

Again, the political parties are not only not defined by the Constitution, but they exist to control state powers and state revenues that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states.

“He’s been buying politicians for his entire lifetime. No doubt he’ll try to buy delegates.

Well every other candidate clearly can be bought. They all have their donor daddies.

Except Trump. I’d rather be on the side of the buyer but that’s just me.
