    How long did it take for the campaign manager grabbing the reporter video to surface?

    A cop who supports Trump would be the worst person ever.

    As Sam Kinison said in Back to School, "Weeelllll ... is he RIGHT?"
    Love him or hate him, Trump has lapped the field. From a purely analytical standpoint — and this is purely analytical, not whether you like him or not — you have to admit he's done a masterful job of picking off opponents one by one, somehow remaining immune to his flaws (at least with his supporters) and seizing on people's concerns to gain support. You could even say that by going after disaffected voters he's won over some Democrats and built the coalition Republican leaders have been failing miserably to build for a decade.
    He has played the game perfectly.
    And for his efforts, he's facing the very real possibility of being screwed over at the convention in favor of a guy who has won one primary and stands no chance whatsoever of winning in the general election. The RNC has backed at least three candidates now in an effort to defeat him. He's beaten them all, fair and square, and the party he's trying to represent is willing to put a bullet in its own head rather than let him do it. That says something about Trump, but it says something worse about the RNC.

    If he had played the game perfectly, he wouldn't have to worry about the convention.

    Uh, no.

    Trump, who is a goddamn billionaire and can afford to spend hundreds of millions on advertising, has been GIVEN (yes, given) two billion bucks (and counting) of free media coverage by a corporate media obsessed with licking his nuts. He's hardly had to spend a nickel of his own money yet.

    You give freaking Santorum or Jindal two billion bucks in free media, even they would sound like contenders.

    He's a winning winner so you have to give him the nomination because he won by the rules despite the majority of primary voters not wanting him, and don't you dare screw him over by the rules because who cares about rules?

    Batman, that bullet is going through the GOP's head no matter what. Either Trump pulls the trigger or the RNC does. At this point they are hoping for a few years in coma rather than death.

    Wrong again, JC.

    I did not say that Dick is lying about not voting, but I did suggest it is possible. Given the way he has gleefully pushed this bit of foolishness, I think it is fair to call it trolling.

    Regarding his supposed objectivity, all I'm saying is that refusing to vote, whether he really goes through with it or not, does not make someone objective. It does not automatically mean he has no horse in this race, as he has claimed.

    Schoolmarm. OOPbot. Snarling dog. Bingo. Braun. Vezzini. The list keeps growing. Amazing just how much brain power some of you devote to me.
