Boy, some reporting Tontokowalski! Yesterday on the Trump Train we awarded the Mr. Peabody and Sherman award to SeattleConservative and hoosiermama. Then Repeal The 17th received the Clark Kent award for his reporting.
We must come up with a nickname (Donald Trump style with class) for you. If I might be so bold I think you deserve the title of a famous crime fighter...Dick Tracy
Dick Tracy wear you badge with honor and we sincerely hope your continued accurate reporting while I go tackle cleaning a bathroom. Maid service doesn’t exist here at my home.
Heheheheh. I’m sure the sound folks were there for the duration. This wasn’t running long or anything. I’m surprised there was no backup plan. I’ve been in speaking venues, and when the primary source of sound goes out, I get a substitute, usually within 15-30 seconds. I don’t have to go fetch either.
— Rush has been ranting for ten minutes about the audio malfunction during last night’s Cruz speech, calling it a “dirty trick.” —
I was sure we would hear this today FITFLOL

A very pleasant good morning to you too- Kit cat! ;0)
Here's a mildly interesting article from NBC. However, I'll need a deputy delegate to do the link for me, as I'm not smart enough to figure it out.
New York Republicans Ignore Ted Cruz at GOP Gala

Ted's problems weren't just the audio feed.
Geraldo was joking about this last night. I'm surprised it got legs.
Note my new tag line.
I love your NEW tagline!!!
Re Corey - yes, the campaign put out a statement, which I suspect was vetted by the lawyer (think Cohen is his main one - I’ve heard him on TV a couple of times - he’s well spoken. In one of the town halls recently(I think it was the one with the family)said his tweets aren’t bad, he gets in trouble for his retweets (such as the one with Hidey and Melania). He’s done much better on his tweeting/retweeting.
I do admire Newt and what he did in Congress and think he has done some good things since then, but I don’t think he’ll ever get over sitting on the couch with Ms. Botox. I seem to recall that he said in the last year or 2 that was a mistake and/or he regrets doing so.
I agree. I seem to recall Newt saying recently that Kasich helped him push through various budgetary bills in congress. I’ve read some posts on FR that say that Newt thinks of Kasich like a son.
But, I must say, it suits me. LOL
Kasich is NOTHING lime he was years ago!!! Something just happens to these people once they get power!!! Kasich is has become a mushy, kissyface, huggy, icky man! CANT STAND HIM!!! I want men to be MEN for God’s sake!!!
$1,000 a plate just to get in, up to $200,000 for the big enchilada- which was a table for ten, 4 VIP passes to the meet and greet, 4 VIP pictures, publication in the official program and recognized as a Chairman level sponsor... and possibly, a perk or two else that escapes me at the moment.
Mr Trump is putting the heat on everyone,LOL...
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, says Donald Trump complaining about the way Colorado’s delegates were chosen is “distracting.” Priebus said it “really isn’t something that most people give a darn about.” Priebus said not moving past this is this gets in the way of unifying the party.

Trump has said more than once he’d choose a VP who can get things through Congress.....but I hope it’s not Kasich!
Still, I'm not going to be surprised if he's Trump's VP selection.
Trump has specifically said he wants a VP with legislative experience, preferably from a swing state.
Kasich fits the bill, and he has delegates that could come in handy. Of course, the same thing could be said of Marco Rubio.
I heard that Megyn Kelly actually made a positive comment about Trump’s speech last night.
testing the waters....
“Well, you know, I say every day, I really do feel that Joe would’ve made a great president,’’ Biden said. “I think he has the character, I think that he’s a convener. I think that one of his strengths is compromise. And so I feel, you know, maybe America missed an opportunity. I don’t know. It just wasn’t the right time.”
