Typical- fair criticism of Trump and the Trumpsters attack on a personal level. Not so much a mystery why the free-a-thon is behind, people don’t feet welcome. Feel proud of yourself
No doubt that a group that was NEVERTRUMP but not for someone else should not be hired based on stupidity alone. However extending this list to “but also some who worked for Trumps GOP presidential rivals or their supportive super PACs” strikes me a equally stupid (for reasons stated in the article) make makes Trump claims to unite the party disingenuous.
Let’s be pragmatic, Trump needs the party (org and infrastructure) and the party needs Trump (new votes). All you who think Ryan bowed to Trump might be a good picture in your mind, but it doesn’t exist in the real world. It all now is about winning and what each can get from it.
And what double stink for the RR is coal is a profitable transport. Another buddy of mine was in RR pricing arbitration. He explained that coal is a strait shot from source to use, no stops... key metric for the RR
saying that his main job is to raise money for re-election and that leaves little time for reading the bills he votes on.
And our founders knew this and set up a government to prevent costly elections. But we have screwed this up with direct elections of senators and large congressional districts. My favorite example is to point out that I am FB friends with my state rep! And I mean his real FB, not the one made and monitored by consultants. Can you imagine if Congressmen had to knock on doors for votes how our country would changes. It is too bad the Thirty thousand.org suit did not go anywhere!
Railroad companies are excellent companies to monitor for market watchers. The results are not to surprising given recent quarterly earning calls. It is good to see grain up if only slightly as well as chemicals. Oil down in expected with the decline in drilling. Coal continues to slide because of regulation and international demand. Intermodal was down which means imports are down...
Remember some of the nevertrumpers are insiders that are now opening checkbooks. No loyalty.
I was a Cruz dude but did not by into the nevertrump BS. It was driven by "trump can't win", which I did not buy. Now that polls are even, the nevertrump thing will die.
