I don’t care about what Stone did in the 1970’s. That’s 40 years ago, hard to believe.
Stone knows the rules but was chased out of the campaign by Lewidowski. Trump is the one who thought, mistakenly, that things are much simpler and straight forward, like the rest of us. That is why Trump hired Manafort, once he saw what the heck was going on.
Many of us registered R’s have historically been resigned to backing the Republican nominee and have not gotten intensely involved in the primaries. I would say many of us are really pretty stunned by the Republican nomination process now that we are learning the nitty, gritty.
See, many of us have just trusted the party for years. The good thing about this campaign, is that we are learning more about the political machinations that determine our nominee.
Know how ya hear people say each election, “Reagan was the last candidate that I got to vote for actually liked. How come the Republicans give us all these crappy nominees, like Dole and McCain?”
Now we know WHY.
Once a thug, always a thug.
